While traveling in Israel last week, Fox News was the only English-language news at my rented apartment. They had a field day on the Senate win by Scott Brown but the real winners are President Obama and the Blue Dogs because this wakeup call justifies them moving the Democrat agenda to the center. The center is a good place.
When the Democrats took control of the both houses of congress and the White House, the checkbook came out for all the items ignored during the Bush years; reasonable catch-up appeared to the untrained eye as wild spending and a policy free for all. We did the same thing as congressional staffers when Bill Clinton became president but the mid-term election loss of both the House and Senate was an eye-opener or black eye.
President Obama’s Team can how craft policy that better reflects the heartland of America rather than the true liberals on the two coasts and the logical leaders will be the Blue Dogs who general sit in party caucus meetings biting their lips or holding their noses. Of course, those centrist members are from districts that are most vulnerable.
If the true liberals have a problem with the move to the center, they better get over it with a quickness or the congress will fall to some really far-right Tea Party types and those guys are as far one way as the liberals are the other.
Senator Scott Brown is more liberal than Georgia Blue Dog Representative Jim Marshall in my opinion; the GOP lucked-up and got a candidate who fits the formula to win the center: likeable, energetic and less bitter. He is nothing like most GOP congressional candidates in the South who voluntarily watch Fox News and like it—give Brown that GOP purity test and watch him flunk big time. Mike Huckabee knows what is happening but the Right is too busy listening to Alaska to hear. Winning nationally requires the sensible center.

Wow you really have bought into this stupid liberal/conservative bullsh*t.
Can you name one policy that Obama has promoted that is remotely liberal?
The reason that people are upset is that the economy is in the crapper and they don’t understand that it’s never going to be the same and it’s going to take more than one year to stabilize it and start it growing again.
I believe that most independents are mad that Obama gave Wall Street all of taxpayers and they used it to give bonuses to each other rather than loan it to small businesses to create jobs and Geithner should have never been the Treasury Secretary and Obama refuses to fire him.
It seems like Bush–hire incompetent, corrupt people and protect them at all costs regardless of performance.
As far as health care, about 70% of Americans wanted a public option but the Blue Dog centrists you like to brag about along with Obama’s weakness as a leader caused it not to be included in the final bill.
What people are mad about is being forced to buy a health insurance policy from the same insurance companies that is screwing us over now.
My perspective is let the health care system collapse and have your precious Blue Dogs and President Palin come up with a solution. LOL
