A Scott Brown win will deal a nearly fatal blow to the current health care overhaul approach.

Factory and mill town Massachusetts responded very differently to last week's Senate election than 'educated class' Massachusetts, swinging sharply to Republican Scott Brown.

Scott Brown's election sent a clear message: the president must change his course.

Let’s start with the stark reality: Second presidential terms rarely result in major accomplishments. Presidents have few new ideas that have not been posed in their first two years, and already met with success or failure. And second-term presidents face even more obduracy from the opposition, bitter at a second loss of the big prize. 

A Scott Brown victory would leave Democrats with three unappealing options to get their health reform plan enacted.

More than just a rejection of Democrats' health care plans, the Scott Brown victory represents a rejection Obama of administration policies that depart from those of the Bush administration.

We are in the midst of the eleventh presidential nominating cycle since party commissions and state laws made primaries the predominant method of choosing national convention delegates in 1972. Over the years politicians and journalists develop rules of thumb to describe how these things work. In this cycle, some of those rules seem to be changing.
