Brown may end up being one term; the point of this election is not really about Brown; it is, in large part, a referendum on Obama and the current HealthCare reform proposal. No matter what happens in this election, it is clear that in a state that Obama carried by 26 or so points just last year, that is no longer even close to the case. His presidency is not popular with any faction that voted for him, including the far left.

The people have spoken in Virginia and New Jersey, and now (even in the bluest of blue) in Massachusetts. Even if Brown doesn't win, the message is being sent; to the extent that the message gets ignored by Obama, his presidency will decline further. If he chooses to listen, it will get better for his presidency but it will be bad for his ideology. What to do?
