Of course we cant overlook what has to be the more probable outcome in Mass: that the Dem wins as usual. If so, what lessons do the Dems draw from their near-death experience? That they have to accelerate, right? For that to happen, somebody has to yield ... and the lefties in the House of Representatives seem in no mood to defer to their more nervous Senate colleagues. That non-deference after all explains why this special election is such a big deal. If the House Dems were willing to defer, they could just pocket the Senate vote they already have .... But they want more, more, more.
