The Transplanted Lawyer, a blogger in California, explains why a Brown win might be good for the Democrats:
The theme for 2010 was going to be "Blame Bush." Why Democrats would think that two years after Bush was forced out of office and not even an option anymore, why they would think that two years in to the term, they could say thing like, "Huh, what an awful economy! We in-hair-it-ed it!" and get a good response from the electorate, why they would not think people might notice when they spout nonsense like "a Republican created this bad economy and now we have to take the blame!" is beyond me. Much less the basic incompatibility of running against an out-of-office Republican while their own President says things like "There are always folks who think that the best way to solve these problems are to demonize others and, unfortunately, we're seeing some of that politics in Massachusetts today," and then they can turn around and demonize George Bush instead of offering actual solutions to the problems and reaping the electoral rewards for doing so.
