AP: Dems cast blame at each other over Senate campaign
Dems cast blame at each other over Senate campaign
WASHINGTON – The buck stops ... Well, it was hard to tell just where the buck stopped Tuesday when it came to the Democratic party's loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat that had been held by Edward M. Kennedy for nearly half a century.

In the end, the verdict may not entirely be about any one party member or candidate.

"The Democrats have the White House. The Democrats have the Senate, as well," said Griffin Smith, 24, a teacher, who voted for Obama last year. "I would like to have more of a checks-and-balance system."

That's what we are doing here as well; playing the blame game.
Good show! But I agree with Dr. Dean; The Blame Game is for losers.

We really need to something about this....
we are constantly barking at each other,
and yet the big tent needs us all to be a big tent!

1. I don't want to bark at anyone. As long as Progressives act like Progressvies, I have

no problem with them. I have a big problem with DINOs though. I know, call me crazy.

Flashing the middle finger to the Base and saying it's our fault is not the way to go either.

2. Either we all get into the big tent......
or we sit outside naked.

I can deal with it either way...
I just feel badly for those who won't be able to.

6. You're right, of course. However, I see us compromising a whole lot for the DINOs, not

the other way around.

I'm still trying to figure out how that helps the Progressive cause.

3. So Griffin Smith thinks there wasn't a check and balance in place already?
Where the hell has he been?

Is he that stupid? The kid should be horsewhipped and lose his teachers license.

Someone should ask the idiot if there aren't checks and balances then why are the Democrats having a difficult time passing legislation when they have the majority?

7. Move on. Remind Repugs that Brown supports same-sex marriage, choice and mandated healthcare
Every insider knew she would lose.

Aim the cannons toward the Republicans and confuse them with their "trophy", which goes against the base.
