Democrats, are you LISTENING?

WSJ has an article today about the meaning of Massachusetts. Will the Dems get it? And do they understand, as Brit Hume said yesterday, that Scott Brown's election is the best thing that could happen to them because it would stop their suicide march? I doubt it. In truth, it's all about acquiring as much power in as dirty a way possible. Permanently.

Instead, their frenetic agenda has frightened voters and businesses about the vast expansion of government power and enormous tax increases to come. The resulting uncertainty and the anticipation of higher costs for labor, taxes and energy have undermined what ought to be a more robust pace of job creation and overall recovery.

The lesson of Mr. Obama's lost first year is that an economic crisis is a terrible thing to exploit. As they have each time in the last 40 years that they have had total control of Washington, Democrats are proving again that America can't be successfully governed from the left. If that is the lesson Mr. Obama learns from Massachusetts, he might still salvage his Presidency.
