The earthquake in Massachusetts

In its lead editorial the day after, the NY Times pronounced: “The Democrats had an exceptionally weak candidate in Massachusetts, but the result calls into question the party’s tactical political competence.”

The editors are trying to head off a retreat on the health care legislation. This is the rationalization of the elitist social engineers who will not accept that the American people are rejecting them – first in Virginia and New Jersey and now Massachusetts.

Stay the course, all will be well.
