Liberals in Massachusetts lament the fact that so many people in the Bay State voted for Scott Brown. They just don't get it...and they never will.

Nancy Pelosi says she lacks the votes to pass the Senate version of health reform through the House without changes. If that is so, and I believe it is, then Obama's health reform is dead.

Paul Krugman continues to beat them drum, urging House Democrats to set aside their re-election prospects and pass the Senate bill directly to the President. Of course, it is always easy for a man who does not need to face the fire to urge others to charge into the cannon's mouths.

Democrats now understand that, with the evidence of the Brown election, as well as the Republican victories in New Jersey and Virginia, "every state is in play."

Why are the Democrats in this difficult position? Hubris.

Frank Luntz says polling, as well as election results, reveal and electorate suffering from buyer's remorse.

Charles Krauthammer examines the meaning of the Brown victory.

Michael Gerson examines President Obama's options following the debacle for the Democrats in Massachusetts.

Pat Buchanan examines the results of the elections in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia from the racial angle.

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, eliminates the ban on corporate and union spending on political campaigns. At least five justices understand that free speech means free speech, and that corporations and unions are gatherings of individuals who have the right, collectively, to pay for political speech to be distributed over the airwaves, on paper, on the Internet, or wherever it can be distributed.
