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.
