The Democrats have descended into full terrarium-overpopulated-with-starving-gerbils mode as they all try desperately to affix the blame for Coakley's loss to Brown.
1) Politico has some nice grouping, with Rahm Emanuel blaming Coakley, Massachusetts congressman Richard Neal blaming "malaise", and one unnamed Democratic strategist blaming The One, Himself: "We lost independents in Virginia, we lost independents in New Jersey and we’re losing independents in Massachusetts. The only thing those three states have in common is Obama.”
2) David Axelrod shakes his head sadly, like a doctor in an old movie who's been called in to give a prognosis on some shot-up gangster. "David Axelrod said today that if the White House had been asked earlier, more could have been done for embattled Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley in Massachusetts."
3) Chris Mathews seems to think the problem is post-tribalism.
4) John Kerry blames, er, Sarah Palin.
5) Movie critic Roger Ebert thinks the culprit is the sheer ingratitude of the people of Massachusetts toward Ted Kennedy (H/T: Ed Driscoll).
6) House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (if that really is his name) blames GOP obstructionism.
Excellent. Note how many of them blame everybody but themselves and their own unpopular policies. Hold that thought, guys!

Oh boy, Paco, you are the master here. I was ging to break the great newsa and you already have a dozen links I must persue.
Hey, also, the Senators beat the Chicago Black Hawks.
I will repeat:

Remember that being Democrat means never saying you're sorry...until today when Democrats turned out to turn out the old guard by bringing in real change.
Steny thinks the win is a recrimination of Republicans. To which I say, "Let's recriminate some more!"
There has been a chant from the ballroom floor that Kerry is next. Hope he heard it.
The Dems tried to pull their shenanegans but this ain't Minnesota or Florida so they couldn't. Can't fault them for trying since it is their addiction.

This is more evidence that lefties in general, and Dhimmicrats in particular, not excel in projection, they live for it.
I just can't tell if this is pushback from reality intruding into their fantasy world, or Stage 1 of grief.
There are at least two Australians excited about this, also. :)
The ungrateful wretches...
Moreover, it is absolutely untrue that Teddy K. was the original inspiration for Jabba the Hutt.
And whoever suggested that is a despicable human being.
So there.
SB: grings
Stop that.
Paco, I'm down here in Melbourne, Australia, and I'm stoked!
I will go home tonight and celebrate with with a wee dram of single malt.
Woooooo Hoooooo! This Brown guy is dynamite!
So does this mean the health care bill introduced by the senate is dead?
If so, what happens to the one created by the House?
Ohh man, I wonder if Mary Jo Kopechne (sp?) is looking down with a smile.....

It is also absolutely untrue that the enormous uneven rapidly rotating mass that is Ted Kennedy spinning in his grave created a wobble in the Earth's orbit, thus causing an earthquake further south.
(Ted could sense how things were going to turn out, because spooky things happen beyond the grave).
And at least two more in this house, bingbing.
Scott Brown's win is great news, Paco.
The 'Kennedy's seat' riposte from Brown gave us great pleasure.
It looks like democracy may prevail for a few more years after all.
I think Ebert's tweet was right on target. I hope Dead Ted enjoyed it.
That's what the Democrats need, more chateau generals. We're bound to run out of voters before they run out of seats!
Robert, are you sure?
