Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Today is Election Day in Massachusetts. Voters will be choosing between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Ted Kennedy. Polls close at 8:00 P.M. It's snowing in the Boston area, but just a couple of inches. Last week, I would have thought the Brown voters had the intensity. But, I keep hearing that Democrats have gotten energized, too. I'll post any updates we get throughout the day.

Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of Obama's inauguration. Someone at the White House needs to be asking how the strategy developed and overseen by Rahm Emanuel has led Obama to where he is now -- especially if Scott Brown wins. Because the fact that the election in Massachusetts is even in play says a lot about the national political climate. This is especially infuriating because GOPers still have nothing to offer the American people.

We can expect endless political spin and analysis over the next few days.

Let's get threading....
