That Result in Massachtusetts

As I have said on Twitter, my response is that I am saddened but not surprised. I don't think it will help Obama's plans for social reform, although likewise however frustrating it is when people don't vote the way you'd like them to, the Democrats didn't exactly do themselves any favours either. I think Karin Robinson put it best in an interview she gave earlier today. (about 3o mins in)

Golden rules: Never, ever get complacent in political elections, never take the electorate for granted, and never see a "safe seat" as a fiefdom!
