I think we needed that little kick in the a$$ we got last night and here's why:

We seem to be a group of people who thrive on being either threatened, the underdog or second. It seems we are comfortable with that position and function so much better when there's a threat over our heads. It's easy to understand, our guy became POTUS and we had/have, for the most part a majority in the House and Senate. We're cool...Then, out of the blue, a non-starter like bikini boy who we thought didn't have a chance in hell, wins the lottery. I think that's what Coakley was thinking. She had it made, no threats until the last week and a half or so. She was ill-prepared and not the right candidate for this seat. Complacency is a lot like the flu. We don't think we're going to get it but boyo, when it hits it hits hard.

Okay, so I'm thinking we did get the flu, we will recover. What's a small (he's only going to be there for the rest of Kennedy's term) kick in the rear if it manages to get ours and mostly the administration's act(s) together. It is imperative we let the powers that be in DC know we are not to be taken for granted nor "counted on" for whatever they're depending on us for. Rahm, Geitner, Summers, Kaine...need to go. Shake up the troops and let the country know we are in it for the win. Weed out the guys who collect the paycheck but walk all over and ignore you. I doubt Reid will survive his election. We could make some real progress in the next few weeks but housecleaning is essential. I'd think a lot more of the administration if it showed me they listened and are acting pro-actively. If things are still the same come July,personally I will re-evaluate.
