Repubs drew first blood in Mass...
This is Obama's response, and it's pretty big news. This "team" was good enough to take an unknown senator with an Arab name, and defeat the Clinton Dynasty, the Rove divisive Political machine, and deliver a landslide vistory in 2008.'
Repubs, please don't just shrug and laugh about how you already have 20 senate seats won in November. Instead, realize the Dems are finally getting their shit together. You have to choose good candidates, get a uniform party message, and stil screaming 'libs' and start delivering solutions

WASHINGTON — President Obama is reconstituting the team that helped him win the White House to counter Republican challenges in the midterm elections and recalibrate after political setbacks that have narrowed his legislative ambitions.
Mr. Obama has asked his former campaign manager, David Plouffe, to oversee House, Senate and governor’s races to stave off a hemorrhage of seats in the fall. The president ordered a review of the Democratic political operation — from the White House to party committees — after last week’s Republican victory in the Massachusetts Senate race, aides said.
In addition to Mr. Plouffe, who will primarily work from the Democratic National Committee in consultation with the White House, several top operatives from the Obama campaign will be dispatched across the country to advise major races as part of the president’s attempt to take greater control over the midterm elections, aides said.
“We are turning the corner to a much more political season,” said David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, who confirmed Mr. Plouffe’s role. “We are going to evaluate what we need to do to get timely intelligence and early warnings so we don’t face situations like we did in Massachusetts.”
