What exactly about the Scott Brown victory does Ezra (the mind of moment) Klein not get?
"There's nothing about Scott Brown's victory that needs to derail health-care reform in particular, or the rest of Obama's 2010 agenda in general. But if Democrats decide to cower and hide, they can end Obama's presidency on Brown's behalf.
That said, I really wonder what the Democratic Caucus thinks will happen if they let health-care reform slip away and walk into 2010 having wasted a year of the country's time amidst a terrible recession. It won't be pretty, I imagine. If health-care reform passes, the two sides can argue over whether it was a success. If it fails, there's no argument."

I have heard that petulant "it's all about me" tone before.. It's the gift that keeps on giving to those of us seeking sensible health care reform consistent with the need to sustain job creating biomedical innovation... I hope Klein and others keep pushing Dems to ignore the outrage of the voters... It will produce more Scott Browns.
