Kerry appointment doesn’t necessarily mean Sen. Scott Brown, but it may.

If it does then the Democratic party has some real problems if it structurally can’t build a political climate to rigorously recruit, primary it’s way to successful Senate candidates in a special election in blue Massachusetts. If a President-elect Romney nominated a Republican from a South Eastern state, chances are Republicans could hold and get another Republican in. If any Democratic state party should be ready, it should be Massachusetts. Time to buck up and get it done. First Warren, now another. Two the hard way.

With a Tea Party/Bircher Republican party controlling our government’s effectiveness through the House of Representatives, one less Democratic senator in DC can be a regressive outcome.
