I have been a longtime fan of Mr. Stewart, and have quoted him several times in op-ed pieces. I have found his observations and capacity to look the country in the eye and tell us the truth without varnish but with a laugh far more refreshing than any flashy graphic on MSNBC or FOXNEWS.
Hero worship aside, Mr. Stewart makes a fantastic observation about the insane hammering of loss coming down the pipeline from Democrats about losing the 2010 elections, the healthcare bill, and the 2012 elections if Brown wins today. How the political bodies in DC believe that an 18 vote majority isn’t enough to get things done. The point raised by Stewart about the Massachusetts legislature changed the rules six years ago to prevent Mitt Romney from appointing a Republican replacement. It’s an old piece of information that has floated around for a while, and is now getting a second look. It is always enjoyable to see machinations coming back to bite people, especially politicians, in the ass. Last class for the evening closes out at 10pm. Looking forward to interesting analysis of the days events.
