Today, January 13th, 2010, Dan Quayle, the failed vice president of the failed president Bush the first, had this to say about the tea party movment. The blue blood wants the tea party people to step aside and be assimilated by the GOP, the GOP that has singularly failed again and again at everything they’ve tried in the last 5+ years…the GOP that supported the flaming liberal over the conservative in NY23, the GOP that has done NOTHING to help Scott Brown close the gap in the critical MA race. the party of nothing, the party of compromise, the party of progressivism.Here is Dan Quayle in his own words:
cavuto: what do you think of that whole tea party stuff…..
quayle: it is somewhat of a traditional american populist movement……
cavuto: but is it a 3rd party?…
quayle:….we’ll find out in 2010….but here’s the challenge of my party…it is basically to co-opt the populist movement, the so-called tea party folks……to be able to get them WITHIN the party…rather than having them outside the party…..
Dan Quayle wants you to follow HIS progressive agenda. Will you follow this snake into the progressive wilderness or is ENOUGH ENOUGH!Join the real Americans, the tea party patriots, not the ossified, dying GOP. Long live the tea parties. Let the elephant DIE!Ivo FisicAn American FreedomistPS…in the same interview, he confesses he would have voted for the stimulus. Enough said about this blue blood elitist snob.

1-13-10 Politics- Top Story- Brown v Coakley- ObamaCare showdown in Massachusetts election
Is it time for Democrats to start panicking?
http://campaigndiaries.com/2010/01/12/democrats-dial-up-volume-in-massachussetts-special/
A new Rasmussen poll finds Martha Coakley leading by only 2% (49% to 47%). This is the first time we can consider trendlines (Rasmussen is the first pollster to release a second poll, and this is where things get scary for Democrats: Coakley led by 9% 10 days ago, so all the momentum is definitely on Scott Brown’s side. Yet more confirmation that the Attorney General is caught in a downward spiral comes from Marc Ambinder’s Twitter account: “FWIW, internal Democratic tracking in MA last week had Coakley up 15. Today, she’s up by five.” Suddenly, PPP has a lot of company - and it’s The Boston Globe that’s looking isolated.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley attracting 49% of the vote while her Republican rival, state Senator Scott Brown, picks up 47%.
Three percent (3%) say they’ll vote for independent candidate Joe Kennedy, and two percent (2%) are undecided. The independent is no relation to the late Edward M. Kennedy, whose Senate seat the candidates are battling to fill in next Tuesday’s election.

The death of Ted Kennedy hit the liberal media particularly hard. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell caught the mood of the nation’s pundits when she said the “heavens were weeping” during Kennedy’s funeral. Now that Kennedy is dead, some pundits feel as if Democrats are entitled to the seat he left vacant.
CNN senior political analyst David Gergen had to be reminded of this fact Monday as he moderated a debate between the two candidates for Massachusetts’s open Senate seat. He asked Republican candidate Scott Brown whether he’d be willing to “sit in Teddy Kennedy’s seat and [say] I’m going to be the person who’s going to block it [liberal health care policy] for another 15 years.”
But Brown, refusing to take for granted Gergen’s blatantly left-wing premises, responded instead: “Well, with all due respect it’s not the Kennedys’ seat, and it’s not the Democrats’ seat, it’s the people’s seat.” (video and transcript below the fold - h/t Kerry Picket)

Washington Examiner:
With Democrat Martha Coakley in trouble in the Massachusetts special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s seat, Democrats could lose vote No. 60 for President Obama’s health-care bill. In response, an army of lobbyists for drug companies, health insurance companies, and hospitals has teamed up to throw a high-dollar Capitol Hill fundraiser for Coakley next Tuesday night.

1-13-10 ObamaCare- a web report- the status of obamacare on the blogosphere
THE depth of Obamacare’s problems is illustrated by this week’s visit to the White House by one of the administration’s biggest supporters — Big Labor — which is unhappy with a proposed excise tax on expensive or “Cadillac” health insurance plans to help pay for the $900 billion program.
Because of our efforts, insurers are now required to cover reconstructive surgery for children with deformities.
Is that what Democratic candidates will say on the stump in 2010? After spending a year explaining the disaster of American health care and pushing for change, they can tout, short-term, only symbolic regulations of the insurance industry - regulations, incidentally, that already exist in many states.
Both Politico and local ABC affiliate WISN bury the lede a bit in their coverage of a town-hall meeting conducted by Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) in Milwaukee. It’s understandable, as the controversy over racially-charged comments by Harry Reid are leading the political news these days. More significant, though, is the fact that Democrats are still facing town-hall fury over ObamaCare — even presumably safe Democrats like Feingold.
