Despite the Times editorial staff's apparent ignorance (or wishful thinking?), Egan nails it, in direct (almost word-for-word) repudiation of the other submissions today. Until Egan, the Times seems to be suggesting that the Massachusetts special election had nothing to do with Obama or his agenda!
in reference to:"But make no mistake. Scott Brown’s win was a rout, a repudiation of Democrats and Obama. In famously well-educated Massachusetts, it cannot be said that the voters were stupid. But those Red Sox also offer a way out for Democrats — they can cowboy up, to use the rallying cry of the 2003 team, back when they were still loveable underdogs and not entitled favorites."
