Political chain reactions were initiated this past week with consequences that could flow through the years.
Or not. Republicans could refuse to study and apply the lessons of the Scott Brown Senate campaign in Massachusetts in other races.The GOP could stick with 20th century technology and with message mavens from 2006 and 2008.
Or Democrats could tack quickly back to the center of the political mainstream, abandoning Obamacare and cap-and-tax, selling GM back into private hands, and slashing spending to sustainable levels, while extending some of the Bush tax cuts as a genuine incentive for job creation. Not likely, but we can dream.
