Hurry, before the people speak again! - NY Times: "Democrats may seek to push health bill through House." In a nutshell, the House would have to swallow whole the Senate's version of the bill, with the "Cornhusker Kickback" and the abortion language. Bart Stupak (D-MI) said the idea "went over like a lead balloon."


More - Megan McArdle: "[A Brown win] would send a chill down the spine of every Democrat who is not sitting in an ultra-safe, ultra-liberal seat."

    Thought Kennedy's seat was an ultra-safe, ultra-liberal seat?

    Coakley probably wins anyway. Massachusetts is a lost cause.

    I hope for a Brown win, but I'll at least be mollified with a narrow loss. Seems like anything less than, say, 5% would be a wake up call for the Dems.

    The Dems have already gotten the wakeup call. They're not going to be double extra awake if they win close. The Reps need the win here.
