It was shocking to hear a Democratic pundit comment that McLean was racially prejudiced against Susan Wright because she is black. I doubt that is the issue at all! If Wright becomes the next Secretary of State, John Kerry remains a Senator. That would leave a Massachusetts senatorial vacancy which the Republicans want to quickly fill with their so-called 'Independent ' Scott Brown who would be another vote against the Democrats, as his past voting record would indicate..
Wall St and lobbyists are quaking as it is that Elizabeth Warren might get to lead with her ideas to rein in Wall St with regulations. She was successfully voted down from becoming the Head of a new department called Consumer Financial Protection Bureau The Republicans were able to keep her from starting a department within the government to do just that but they could not defeat her getting to Washington as a Senator and they are clearly unhappy after spending 5.5 million dollars in their failed attempt..It has been custom in the past to accept the results of an election and try to work within the governmental and constitution rules to achieve a fairness for the country. The Republicans are going to fight that.
Paul Ryan spoke recently to point out that his plan and budget are not dead as the voters voted a Republican majority in the House. He, of course, was not voted out. He just wasn't up for re-election this year so by default (losing the bid for Vice President) he remains as a Representative. Clearly he took no message from the voters this election. I can only cringe at the behavior of the losing team when I think they might have been voted in to run the country! Actually we know, because Grover Norquist told us, he would not actually be running the country, Norquist and those with him would be doing that
