Well, two people need to heed the lesson, the other being Michael Steele.
It was, at least on paper, a race Republicans should have won. They didn't.I guess the rumors of the demise of the Democratic Party were indeed a bit exaggerated. Eric Kleefield has reactions from both parties at TPMDC.Which leads us to the next question: just how painful is this defeat for RNC Chairman Michael Steele? He not only poured a lot of money into this race, Steele also pointed to New York's 20th as a race that would help turn things around for the Republican Party.
Back in January, Steele boasted, "That win will send a powerful signal to the rest of the country ... that our game is not up,"
That seemed like safe bravado in January, when Tedisco looked like a sure thing. But "that win" has become "that loss." Does that mean, by Steele's reasoning, that a powerful signal has been sent to the rest of the country that the Republican Party's game is up?
There were some rumors in February that a GOP defeat in this special election would put Michael Steele's job in jeopardy. Something to keep an eye on.

Well, like you said: It's not about seating Coleman anymore. It's about "If I can't have it, you can't either, socialist poopyhead! NYAH!"
And to think we moved beyond preschool bullshit.
