If the country and MA was really progressive/liberal, why do you think brown would win? [View All]

I have seen countless posts throughout the months that the problem is that the administration and Congress have not been liberal enough. We have been fed the belief that the Democrats have 60 votes in the Senate, which though technically correct, is not reality. lieberman, nelson, and a sizable number of moderate to conservative Democrats make that a tenuous task.

Casey in Pennsylvania is an avid anti-choice Democrat, and Arlen Spector is a moderate republican who because he would probably lose his party's nomination, switched to Democrat

That 60 votes was always an illusion as long as a filibuster exists

The bigger question is, after 8 years of bush/cheney, MA is looking to elect someone, not in the shoes of bush, but in the shoes of cheney, and that should make people really wonder not what is the matter with Kansas, but what is the matter with America?
