Reading a NY Times story from Frank Rich titled After the Massachusetts Massacre in which Mr. Rich claims It was not a referendum on Barack Obama and It was not a rejection of universal health care. Umm, what rock has Mr. Rich been hiding under?
For days heading into the election, we heard over and over how Brown was campaigning as the 41st vote against health care and Coakley was campaigning as the 60th vote for health care. I even heard Brown has a nickname “41″ because he claimed to be the 41st vote against everything Obama wanted.
I’m not sure what fantasy world Mr. Rich is living in, but it’s hard to trust the analysis and opinions of anyone who is able to make up their own view of reality so easily.

Just a note that Brown isn’t living up to his “41″ nickname. He switched his vote to go along with the Democrats and pass financial “reform” in the Senate.
BTW – This is why I’m a Libertarian – there truly isn’t any difference between the Republicans and Democrats on the things that matter. There’s a lot of posturing, but in the end, they all do what their bosses – NOT the people who elected them – want them to do.
