First because the idea that Obama represents the left of the democratic party is false. Second because the distance between the current democratic proposals and Brown's position is relatively small. Lieberman, Bayh, Lincoln and Landrieu are bigger problems for Obama than Brown is. And third because it ignores the main reason he won by 5 points: he was a likable, somewhat independent person running against someone who didn't campaign and who made a habit of saying foolish things.

You all just keep telling yourselves that and continue on the same course and see where it gets you in November. I had high hopes the Democrats would do something with their super majority but instead all we got was a way left of center agenda and finger pointing at the other side. This country so needs to kick all the lobbyists from Washington and a viable third party. Nothing has been done about creating jobs, keeping jobs here or the economy in general. They haven't even passed any real Wall Street reform after the biggest financial meltdown since '29.
