The POLITICO has already reported that insiders are saying Obama will only become more combative if the Massachusetts race doesn't go his way, rather than follow the Bill Clinton template of moving to the center after losing the House in 1994:
President Barack Obama plans a combative response if, as White House aides fear, Democrats lose Tuesday’s special Senate election in Massachusetts, close advisers say.
“This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt,” a senior administration official said. “It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard.”
A defeat by Martha Coakley for the seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy would be embarrassing for the party — and potentially debilitating, since Democrats will lose their filibuster-proof, 60-vote hold on the Senate.
Summoning George Voinovich to the White House as Plan B may also be a sign that Obama is conceding defeat in Massachusetts though it's too early to tell.
In light of the fact that the health care monstrosity will destroy the livelihoods of future generations, I find this Voinovich meltdown in 2005 over the prospect of John Bolton becoming America's ambassador to the U.N. particularly unnerving. Voinovich cried because of what such an appointment could mean for his grandchildren.
If Voinovich votes for the monstrosity, will it mean he found John Bolton a greater threat to future generations than government-run health care? If so, wouldn't you like to know how Bolton feels about that?
