dunedan---i'm still putting information together (i'm not terribly involved with massachusetts politics) but from what i can tell brown's election is not exactly a victory for the right so much as its a loss for coakley and the democratic party machine here that assumed her election was a shoo-in. it's also a little odd, brown's position on massachusetts health care as over against the federal. i think much of the results were driven by very local, often personal questions. the national-level spins on it seem arbitrary.
but were i in obama's position i would go immediately on the offensive with the objective of rolling over the conservative opposition. i see no reason not to. for tactical reasons. were the situation reversed, you'd probably be arguing the same thing.
