>> probably one of the worst campaigns I've seen in a long time.

It is interesting that you [collectively] only started saying this a day or two ago. A week ago I didn't hear anyone talking about how lousy her campaign was.

This campaign was turned around by the winner. First, the liberal David Gergen tried to attack him with the "Kennedy's seat" question -- which Brown turned into solid gold (it was highly reminiscent of Reagan's response in the Mondale debate which literally turned the campaign around; I immediately thought of that what I heard it -- it clearly was going to played and replayed and would have a material effect on the election).

And as importantly, his positions on health care and EIT. Normal, ordinary, sensible people know this health care nonsense is a boondogle, they can see the tactics the Ds have used and they know they're crooked as hell. On EIT, anyone with common sense understands that Obama's law-enforcement approach is the same thing that allowed 9/11 to happen in the first place and they don't want it.

It is, absolutely, a repudiation of Obama's presidency to date. That's not to say he can't fix it but he is going to have to come in from the far left socialist/fascist wing and move toward the center where normal people, not just the nutjobs, can identify with him. And I suspect he'll do just that. He doesn't want to be a one-termer.
