The Fallout In Brief

From GayPatriot:

"Let me give you some quick takes on the impact of Scott Brown’s election, some of which may provide fodder for future blogs.

Let’s start with the obvious. Obamacare is not only merely dead, it’s really most sincerely dead. Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner says listen to the voters and start over. Democratic Senator Jim Webb says no further votes until the Massachusetts Republican is seated.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is now the second most powerful man in Washington. And to think, Democrats came close to unseating him just 14 months ago. Because the two most waveringest of Republican Senators come from New England states, you know, where Massachusetts is located, don’t expect them to buck the party of Scott Brown any time soon.

Expect to see an uptick in the number of Democrats retiring.

Expect to see an uptick in Republicans running for federal office.

Expect to see some Democrats clamoring for a new White House Chief of Staff–not one who sees crises as a chance to push left-wing legislation on a supposedly unsuspecting public.

This may be a blessing in disguise for Democrats. They get the warning only one year into Obama’s term than they didn’t get until 22 months with the Clintons.

Scott Brown’s campaign aides will be in high demand."

Oh, and happy first anniversary President Obama!
