After Brown: what happens now to health care reform?

The New Neo Posted on January 20, 2010 by neoJanuary 20, 2010

Is this a complete game-changer? Will the Obama administration now be divided into two eras: BB and AB—Before Brown and After Brown? There was a lot of trash talk on the part of Democrats and their supporters before yesterday’s election. … Continue reading →

Let’s revive an old slogan

The New Neo Posted on January 19, 2010 by neoJanuary 19, 2010

[NOTE: for those who weren’t around back then, the slogan on the T-shirt refers to the following: in the 1972 election, Massachusetts was the only state (along with DC) that didn’t vote for Nixon, but went instead for McGovern. During … Continue reading →

Election day jitters

The New Neo Posted on January 19, 2010 by neoJanuary 19, 2010

It’s election day and there’s light snow in New England, but certainly not enough to keep the hardy and the motivated citizens of Massachusetts away from the polls. Just three short weeks ago I didn’t think Scott Brown had a … Continue reading →

Reflections on the Brown phenomenon: we the people against hypocrisy

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2010 by neoJanuary 18, 2010

The Brown phenomenon continues to surprise. For example, yesterday I went to Firedoglake, a lberal/lefty blog, and saw a post entitled, “Progressives, please help to defeat Coakley.” Once I recovered from my astonishment, and had finished reading the piece and … Continue reading →

WaPo writer E.J. Dionne…

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2010 by neoJanuary 18, 2010

…is taught a few lessons by his commenters, nearly all of whom have a great deal more sense than he does. Dionne still thinks it’s all about “the narrative.” His commenters think it’s actually about the poor decisions made by … Continue reading →

Coakley campaign’s calumny

The New Neo Posted on January 17, 2010 by neoJanuary 17, 2010

In the heat of a campaign, politicians often shade the truth or at least partially misrepresent their opponents’ positions. But for height, depth, breadth, and pure poisonous brazenness of lie, the Coakley campaign’s latest is hard to equal. The Washington … Continue reading →

Can Kirk vote in the Senate until the Brown/Coakley winner is certified?

The New Neo Posted on January 17, 2010 by neoJanuary 17, 2010

Fred Barnes attempts to answer the question of what whether it would be legal for Massachusetts Democrats to make good on their pledge to delay Brown’s certification if he wins Tuesday’s Senate race, in order to allow previously-appointed senator Paul … Continue reading →

Looking back at Coakley and Brown: how did they get here?

The New Neo Posted on January 16, 2010 by neoJanuary 17, 2010

Since most of us weren’t paying a whole lot of attention to the Massachusetts Senate race during the build up to the primary, or in the early days of the post-primary campaign, many people might be wondering how it was … Continue reading →

Brown is sweeping the country

The New Neo Posted on January 15, 2010 by neoJanuary 15, 2010

Martha Coakley and the child molesters

The New Neo Posted on January 14, 2010 by neoJanuary 14, 2010

Just for a moment, forget about how compelling a candidate Scott Brown is. And forget about how nice it would be to have a Republican senator from Massachusetts, and a 41st vote against Obamacare. Forget? Why? Because, even if those … Continue reading →
