Snatch Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

Perhaps only the Democrats could have done it- losing the Kennedy Seat in Massachusetts. Arrogance, overly self-assured, or who knows what? Somehow or another the Democrats have managed to let the Republicans have the upper hand. Sure, that is not unusual in an off-year election cycle. Sure, there are many months until the fall elections. But the defeat tonight of the Democrats in Massachusetts will not make it any easier.

It could be a very long year!
