It remains to be seen whether or not this will work. I suspect it won't. <br /><br />It won't work because: a.)even with the Scott Brown victory the Democrats still have a 59-41 advantage in the Senate and a huge majority in the House. As such, on any policy it should be fairly easy for Mr. Obama and his team to pick off two or three Republicans and thwart a filibuster, b.)the Republicans don't have the numbers in the House or Senate to mount any kind of challenge to any thing Obama and the Democrats might want to do. <br /><br />As such, blaming the Republicans for thwarting Obama's policies or wanting him to fail is unlikely to work. The Republicans don't have the numbers to mount a challenge to any thing he might want to do. If Obama fails, it will because his policies are bad or because the Democrats put a brake on him. Right now it is a combination of wrong headed polices and Democrats not wanting to go along.B.Posternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-35306153115460496532010-01-30T19:47:48.900-08:002010-01-30T19:47:48.900-08:00Well said DD.
