Tomorrow's spin on today's election.
If this comes out as a Democratic win you can bet tomorrow Politico will be reporting that this happened without White House support for 'the progressive agenda' showing that progressives can be ignored without fear of loss of seats. That will be the spin if we win. If we lose it will be because, Politico will tell us, Massachusetts - and indeed the rest of the country - are finished with 'the progressive agenda'.

Bet on it.

1. Yep. You got that right - everything is a "referendum on Obama'
and win or lose, they will spin it anyway that looks bad for Democrats. Remember when the election in upstate NY was a "referendum on Obama". Everything is :eyes:.

6. The spin will be "This is good news for the GOP"
Doesn't matter what the results are.
