My Working Theory on Brown v. Coakley: Democrats Want Brown to Win

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  January 15th, 2010 at 11:00 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Clayton (you guys remember him, right?) suggested this and I think he is right.

My working theory of the Massachusetts race is that a lot of Democrats desperately want Scott Brown to win.

From Blanche Lincoln to Ben Nelson to Evan Bayh, they are privately praying Scott Brown cleans Martha Coakley‘s clock.

Now they won’t admit it in public, but they know if Brown wins, the odds that they’ll be able to smother Obamacare in its crib go up significantly.

For months Rahm Emanuel, Bill Clinton, and a host of conventional wisdom talking heads on the news networks and in the op-ed page of the Washington Post have been saying that 1994 happened because the Democrats did not pass health care deform then. It has become the working hypothesis for Democrat leaders and has been used repeatedly to get Democrat votes for Obamacare.

They say that if the Democrats were to pass health care deform now, it will inspire the Democrat base and get people motivated to go to the polls.

Well, here we have Massachusetts, a state that is overwhelmingly Democrat and has its own version of Obamacare already, and the voters appears to be breaking toward the Republican who has pledged to vote against Obamacare.

If Brown even pulls close to Coakley — he does not have to win in a state so overwhelmingly filled with Democrats — it will be a clarion call that Rahm’s working hypothesis is fatuous nonsense as most of us already know.

With Obamacare hanging in the balance and Massachusetts voters deciding if it will pass or fail, you would think if Rahm’s hypothesis is true, the overwhelmingly Democrat oriented voters of Massachusetts would be beating down the door for Martha Coakley.

But they aren’t. Lincoln, Bayh, Nelson and many of the House Blue Dogs already know this because they are going home to angry voters opposed, regardless of party, to this health care plan. They know if Brown wins, they may be spared a vote and, consequently, defeat in November.

Hypothesis fail.

By the way, I hope Mitch McConnell and the GOP in Washington are paying attention. Being the Party of No isn’t a losing strategy.

    Too many people, even around here, don’t get the truthful simplicity of that.

    before the 19th….I’ve been emailing Lincoln and Pryor all morning, while trying to dial in to their offices to voice my displeasure.

    I think Blanche may have me on some sort of Tea-Bagger Watch-List. I am giving the woman no quarter.

    Held signs this morning, talking to a lot of people who are D’s but supporting Brown because they’ve witnessed the mess that is MA health care

    with your working hypothesis …

  • erod

    They need more than one vote to get their healthcare through the legislative process, And if they did vote before the 19th they would be handing the race to Brown.

    I’m not sure it will actually help the vulnerable dems that much though. There is so much anger and I think most people will remember that they didn’t oppose it. Also, they will have to worry about going home and denouncing it, thus angering the democrats in their party and in their state or lamenting that it failed reigniting the anger.

  • Maureenthetemp

    Reuters is reporting a health deal in 72 hours, they’ll vote this through Tuesday or Wednesday, certainly before Brown takes office. Remember how everyone thought the NJ and VA wins would kill this? Pelosi rammed it through a week later.

    Obama and left wing dems know, long term, this bill changes us into Eurosocialists, which they desperately want. They just don’t care if they lose both chambers over this in the short term, long term it kills American exceptionalism. This is the “all the marbles” moment. Our enemies know what the stakes are, even if McDonnell and the Hapless Dweeb party don’t. I repeat, the Dems do not care if they lose both chambers short term — long term they know it destroys limited government, and THAT is their goal.

    We need to embrace the “Party of ‘No’” phrase but change the spelling.

    We are the “Party of Know.”

    We Republicans KNOW what the Constitution says. We KNOW that the American people want the Constitution to be enforced and followed.

    We KNOW that 85 per cent of the American people are satisfied with their health care and do not want the government to interfere.

    We KNOW that it makes no sense to destroy the best health care industry and system in the world because a few million people in America do not buy health insurance.

    We KNOW that the best solutions to achieve better access to health care for Americans is to reduce the involvement of government, not increase it.

    We KNOW that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are badly broken and headed for bankruptcy and need to be fixed before the federal government creates any new government entitlements.

    Etc.

    Thank you.

  • joliefleurs

    I’m not familiar enough with the proess to know how it works, I’m ashamed to say, but I’m making a point to learn now.

    It’s been such a thrill to get involved to this extent. I’ve laways voted but never gone any deeper than just showing up for the big elections.

    Those like me who have just been skating like this all these years deserve part of the blame for the mess we’re in now. Won’t happen again, I can promise you that. Sleeping giants, you know!

  • izoneguy

    Then watch what will happen if they all come together and plop a healthcare bill on Obama’s desk between now and the Tuesday election.

    Pitchforks, burning at the stake, waterboarding, etc, etc……

    You would think ONE socialist Senator would have enough sense to
    hide until after Tuesdays election to see where the fall-out will be moving.

  • charpaddy

    I totally agree with you.

    People don’t want this bill, and are doing everything they can to stop it.

    The Dims will be watching their party go up in FLAMES if they pass it. And yes, FOR SURE Brown will win if they try to pass this horrible monstrocity of a healthcare bill.

    Get the popcorn! I’m LOVING THIS!!! YEAH!!!!

  • dwander

    Parts of the MSM will say anything to try and sway those that desire real and effective change to stay home.

    I do not believe that HRH can ram a vote through the house without requiring it to go back to the senate for another round of up and down votes.

    The republicans will get another shot at this.

    If the house votes for the senate bill unchanged it will only take one vote to get this on the desk of the president.

    Of course if the House makes even one change then yes it has to go back to the Senate also.

  • Marcus_Traianus

    It would be illogical for Democrats, plural, to want a Brown win. However, it would be logical for select cowards, within the Democrat caucus, to want a Brown win to avoid making a decision which their constituents will ride like a mad bull over them into the next election cycle.

    Losing the Mass. seat is a very bad omen for the Democrat Party. It will bring their divisiveness right to the forefront and spell complete chaos in the coming election cycle. It will also bog down Democrats entire agenda unless they get a few weak Republicans to come along (and Lord knows there are a few of them). Bottom line- to the party Brown will be Armageddon.

    By the way, people in Mass. are not very impressed with Coakley overall. She is a weak candidate whose skeletons keep coming out of the closet every day- like this terrible action she undertook.

    All together; divisive, unpopular national agenda, weak local candidate, angry populace, fleeing supporters, and last but not least- popular, strong, decisive Republican candidate are the underlying reasons. Not because Democrats are secretly throwing in the towel.

    I was of course kidding brother.

    (see the whole thinghere:)

    “Besides, if a week from now the Democrats in the House and Senate still haven?t overcome all the obstacles to passing this bill, with the ever-mounting public pressure not to pass the thing hitting them daily, the temptation to get out and make excuses will be enormous. Brown beating Coakley and becoming the 41st vote gives the Democrats the out they?re looking for ? this way, Nelson and Landrieu ? and Bob Casey and Joe Lieberman and Bill Nelson and Blanche Lincoln, for that matter ? can still vote for the bill without having to actually inflict it on the American people. And the Democrats will have the ability to go back to their base and blame the whole thing on Republican obstructionism, which is what they want to do anyway. After all, hey ? it?s not their fault Ted Kennedy died, right?

    “Obamacare isn?t going to make it. Scott Brown is going to be both the dagger in its heart and the ready-made excuse not to revive the victim. And the Democrats are going to lament the death of the legislation with the wettest of crocodile tears as they demogogue the issue in front of their voters in an effort to stanch the bleeding this fall.”

  • Mayhem

    I agree that these Democrats want badly for this bill to die… somehow. If Brown is the means to that end, so be it.

    I disagree that a Brown win will save them from voters’ wrath (not that Erick or Clayton are arguing that it will). Remember, ALL of these Democrats voted to advance this bill no less than 4 times in the Senate.

    They have already accepted the mark on their foreheads. There is no turning back.

  • http://www.thehayride.com MacAoidh

    …the health care bill goes away when Brown wins, and they all breathe a sigh of relief.

    Then the next step is to blame the economy on the banks through this Bank Tax, and then demonize the GOP for stopping it. We’re going to get the Party Of No meme along with the Tools Of Wall Street meme.

    It will fail, famously, but that’s what the Democrats have going right now.

  • louisiana

    from the cadillac tax, doesn’t it have to pass the Senate with 60 votes? Landrieu, Nelson, & Lincoln have the Dem ebola virus. With blood coming out of their eyes & ears, they will vote for the bill.

  • http://beaglescout.wordpress.com Beaglescout
  • Achance

    in the Northeast, industrial Midwest, and the West Coast is going to invoke the “Cadillac Plan” tax, so the unions have to get an exemption or a lot of union leaders risk their cars and expense accounts and face the ultimate humiliation of having to go back to the tools. And since the unions own the Democrats from those states, those Democrats have to go along with the exemption. It is going to be a pretty good fight.

    It is going to be interesting for the Boy Senator from Alaska, Begich. While he’s owned lock, stock, and barrel by the unions only the private sector unions would fully benefit from the exemption for collectively bargained H&W plans. The public sector unions are all in the State’s retirement system in which retiree benefits aren’t bargained and for active employees of the State, the largest group, some don’t bargain H&W at all and others only bargain the total contribution amount, so it is questionable whether they come under the exemption.

  • blooch

    Our pawn is one move away from their side of the chess board, and it’s so hard to believe it, that it just *has* to be their stategery. lol

  • louisiana

    regarding unions–fascinating to me because I don’t know anyone who belongs to a union, unless you count the NEA (spit!) Do you know if this situation exists in other states? I can see where this would cause alot of resentment between union factions.

  • Achance

    in the public sector systems. Very few public employers bargain retirement and retireee benefits. Also, most public employers have both union and non-union employees on the same H&W plans. For example, non-represented employees are on the State-sponsored H&W plan but so are all sorts of represented employees. So, the represented employees have a tax exemption but the non-represented employees don’t. I don’t know if the different tax status invokes “like pay for like work” provisions but it sure invokes a lot of people’s sense of unfairness.

    Of more import because retirees tend to be better off and to vote, if one of the employees under one the collectively bargained plans retires, he goes to the unbargained retiree plan and has to start paying the excise tax. There’s going to be Hell to pay here because all the retiree advocacy groups are union/Democrat fronts and they’re all over supporting CommieCare, yet the bill as it seems to sit now is going to thoroughly screw Alaska PERS retirees, particularly those of us on the older, more lucrative plans.

    3 R’s give 3 weak D’s duplicity coverage voting FOR Omnibus spending …. Such a shame the most pathetic of our Republicans all exist in the US Senate. Toomey and Rubio will have to, with Base help, wrangle the control away from them.

  • http://www.ssce.net/Web-Articles/Web-articles-indexed-authors.html#authors-l JLenardDetroit

    I do honestly believe some of them are so desiring of keeping their own little clique and theif-dom in the Senate that — 2010 gains opportunities being scuttled? – are some Republicans sand-bagging 2010 gain opportunities?. Again, shameful that our most pathetic Republicans are all in the US Senate. They try to do just enough… but not enough to really help enthuse the masses that we could/should as the Party of kNOw // Party of HELL NO.

  • LibertarianHawk

    It’s much tougher to govern. Because, like it or not, voters expect good things to emanate from the governments they elect. That doesn’t have to mean activist government…it can mean the exact opposite (and let’s hope it would, should the GOP ever find its way back into power).

    But it does have to mean identifying, addressing, and solving problems.

    The GOP would be wise to realize that whatever good fortune they have at the polls this November will not have come because of anything they did — or anything they didn’t do.

    It will have come because of how the public is responding to what the Democrats have done…..which, ironically, is the very same reason the Democrats gained the majority in 2006 and the White House in 2008. They failed to grasp that — and look where that’s gotten them.

    Ultimately, voters are going to demand good governance and neither party has their confidence right now.

    What the GOP needs to do, whatever happens in 2010, is focus intently on nominating a standard bearer in 2012 that can deliver that.

    And my vote goes to Gov. Mitch Daniels. He’s the genuine article.

  • LibertarianHawk

    The strongest is former 8th district Congressman John Hostettler — who wasn’t ever even all that formidable an incumbent in his own district. Virtually every race he won was close….and then he got smoked in 2006. I think he lost by about 20 points.

    I don’t think the Indiana GOP sees much of an opportunity with the Bayh seat. If it did, I think we’d be seeing somebody like Mike Pence, Becky Skillman, Richard Mourdock, or even former Indy Mayor Steve Goldsmith throwing their name in.

    Whatever happens with healthcare, I’d say Bayh’s likely to win again.

  • LibertarianHawk

    Because I gotta say, I’m just not buyin’ it yet (and, yes, I have donated).

    I think it’ll be close. But I just have a hard time seeing him actually coming out on top.

    I hope I’m wrong.

  • Third Street

    Now that she’s gotten a little “help” in clearing the decks for Mitch’s mayoral run, she’s thinking she really would kind of like to stick around for another term. If the health bill dies, enough people here just might forget about all this by 2014. If it passes, it won’t be possible to forget about any of it for even a single day.

  • louisiana

    how all of this shakes out.

  • http://www.ssce.net/Web-Articles/Web-articles-indexed-authors.html#authors-l JLenardDetroit

    it’s the usual meme…

    Convince me they can/will win…. then they’ll go vote for the Libertarian anyway claiming you convinced them the R would win and their vote wasn’t needed and they could vote their “principle”

    If you wane any…. then they’ll go vote for the Libertarian anyway claiming you admitted the R wasn’t going to win and their vote wasn’t needed and they could vote their “principle”

    each and every time it is the same, they help the uber-Liberal Democrat — ALWAYS — Sacraficing the Good over (their contended) Absence of the Perfect! Even when it means re-handing the Democrats the continued 60th vote on a silver platter, as is in this case with MA – they just aren’t quite “sure” about whether they should vote for Brown…. it never matters…. it’s just the word-games they play.

  • Section9

    Remember all the polling going into THAT election had Hoffmann up by a significant number, and Scozzafava’s endorsement of the D was enough to put the D over the top.

    My advice? Trust no stories about “Democrat Internal Polling”. I’m not convinced that this is not misdirection designed to try and scare Base Democrats out to the polls and that Coakley isn’t in better shape than she lets on.

    I know I sound like Kos the Koncern Troll, but this has happened to us before.

    … but I think the parallel is really there. The Democrat in NY-23 didn’t run a terrible campaign, he was just totally overshadowed by Hoffman and Scozz’s implosion. Alone in the ballot box, Owens wasn’t necessarily a worse than Hoffman in a lot of people’s minds (he was against Obamacare back then).

    Coakley is more parts ‘hapless Scozzafava’ than ‘un-risky Owens’, and Brown is a far better campaigner than Hoffman.

    they were/are all for Taxing Benefits when it was for the Corporate Executives to pay Tax on any “perceived” Personal value, but when the same concept of that their Benefits are actually indeed COMPENSATION that could/should be taxed, it is a whole other thing.

    Amazingly, you could have 2 employees working out of the same building…. 1 Union, 1 Salaried, and 1 will be exempted from the Tax while the other (or the company on their behalf) expected to pay the Tax ON THE VERY SAME BENEFIT!!!!!

    Of course, I thought it was a DUMB idea when McCain put it forth and certainly still against it now…. BUT, I’m just pointing out that the double-standard has existed for a long time which is equally PATHETIC and wrong.

  • http://www.ssce.net/Web-Articles/Web-articles-indexed-authors.html#authors-l JLenardDetroit

    and no sense in us sweating over those who never will. Most TEApeaters that still hold-out that they are “Independent” will figure out that they identify with the GOP Platform (GOP (still Conservative) Platform) and that they will need to work with us fellow Conservatives within the GOP to exert Conservative control in order to keep it on Platform values.

    [from Conservative Candidates (the Diary)]
    the “Republican Revolution” of the 90′s was mislabeled, it was really the “CONSERVATIVE Revolution” and it brought Republicans to power; likewise, it was the “Reagan Conservative” Revolution, not a Republican Revolution. Many Republicans forgot that along the way. That led the way for CINO Democrats to lie their way back into power, but it was a “Conservative” co-opted (read: they lied about their intent) that voters allowed themselves to be duped into. Republicans need to REMEMBER that! Conservatism did NOT lose Elections, bad Politicians (with R’s beside their name) did!

    the Conservative Revolution, or Republican brand resurgence, will ONLY be repeated by Conservatives working within the GOP (and its Conservative Platform) and ensure its Leadership is controlled by fellow Conservatives!

    Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of WORTHLESS Republicans that are NOT Conservative as they claim to be, and they all seem to be in the U.S.Senate (pathetically enough), but they ARE NOT representative of the majority of the GOP. They do NOT adhere to the GOP Platform (wonder when they last looked at it) as they don’t pay much attention to the U.S.Constitution (like Democrats). The Omnibus Bill was yet another example of FAILED REPUBLICANS (3 R’s give 3 weak D’s duplicity coverage voting FOR Omnibus spending, even the McCain-iac didn’t go there this time) Again, they are NOT representative of the GOP and give voice to the notion ‘there is no difference in the Parties’ – UNTRUE! There is little difference in PROGRESSIVES and there are a few in the GOP but we must work harder to ensure they are not in authority positions and over-ride the majority viewpoint (and GOP Platform) positions of maintaining REAL/TRUE Conservatism and anti-Progressive-ism. (How Alt-Party talk is RINOism: can one catch RINOvirus?). The GOP is the “Party of KNOW” which is why we say “NO” to Liberal Incremental-ism (Republicans must be the Party of NO [to Bigger Govt.] not the Party of SLOW[er Liberal Incremental-ism])!!!

    You’ve probably heard some of the complaints – That person or organization is just a sham and shills for Republicans. Which usually comes from Shills for attempting to expand the Libertarian Party (that has accomplished nothing, ever, anywhere) or those looking to create their own little thief-dom of yet another do-nothing organization or Third-Party. There will always be differing agendas, the question remains whether someone is going to continue to carry a grudge and muddle the MESSAGE because of the MESSENGER rather than work together when/where possible! I’ve heard it often, so-and-so won’t cooperate with whose-its Tax Protest because it’s so-and-so’s; and all the while Progressives keep moving their agenda forward while everyone else focuses on Personalities rather than purpose!

    If folks would not have gone back to sleep and exerted proper TAKEOVER of the GOP at ANY/ALL LEVELS (every single Congressional District Committee upward) we wouldn?t be in this. If they get involved and ensure the GOP stays on Platform and we FINALLY weed out (removerinos) those that lets people do the ?there is no difference in Party? act/complaint, and can only do so with REAL CONSERVATIVES control at all levels, we will overcome this and not allow the McCainist movements to do this, or allow this, to happen to us again!!!

    We cannot slumber EVER! We must be involved and vigilant ALWAYS! We must control all levels of the GOP (Third/Alternate Party, is another invitation to FAILure (Third Party calls to another FAILure)) in order to ensure the FOUNDING FATHERS’ PRINCIPLES of Governance be the manner by which the country is run!

    Libertarians always give themselves away that they aren’t for effective change but their own little continued MINORITY clique thief-dom. I know some, however, that keep their un-official ties to the Libertarian Party and groups while indeed working within the GOP as Delegates, Committee members, Club organizers, etc…. where efforts can/will actually make a difference and can affect policy!!!

  • http://www.ssce.net/Web-Articles/Web-articles-indexed-authors.html#authors-l JLenardDetroit

    and the more singing the Chorus the better, and our Elected Republicans need to embrace it more…. I’ve been using the “Party of kNOw” with the specialized spelling and italics to make the double-point all at once for some time (HellNoParty/Party of kNOw – Republicans must be the Party of HELL NO [to Bigger Govt.] not the Party of SLOW[er Liberal Incremental-ism]). as well as some other brief but to the point quotes. It is still the same absence of Leadership to come out and point out the Conservative “Productive vs. non-Productive” message we get from a British MEP (Daniel Hannan (British MEP) – mbecker’s: What the Leader of the Republican Party should sound like! Productive vs non-Productive sectors of the Economy same here as in UK.) rather than our Leaders. It’s sad, but we shall, of course, keep on them about it and keep these/those messages alive in their absence/silence!
