So, the Dems just lost the special election to replace Anthony Weiner, losing the Congressional district to the 'Phants for the first time im almost 90 years. (!)
While the Democrat, David Weprin, by all accounts ran a horrible campaign, we also need to understand that that the Republicans aggressively tried to make this campaign national rather than local, and it does not bode well for keeping the White House, or the Senate, or retaking the House in 2012.
I understand that no will save it publicly, but this is not good news for Barack Obama or the Democratic party.
Unfortunately, particularly inside Obama administration's reality distortion field, they are telling themselves that it's not about them, and so will not learn from this.
