Democrat Runs Against Obamacare, Wins Murtha Seat

Many Democrats today are convincing themselves that there is no public anger against Obama's America after Democrat Mark Critz won Jack Murtha's old seat. This Politico article calls it a "spectacular failure" of Republicans.

However, I think there is a very key point here. While Critz is a Democrat, he actively campaigned as a pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-Obamacare Democrat who is not afraid to cross his party. The unfortunate thing is that like most Democrats, he will simply hold his nose and vote for the Obama/Pelosi agenda whenever it really matters.

It does seem clear that some Americans are still willing to believe whatever they are told, despite previous experience. (Heck, maybe they still believe that Obama is actually a tax cutter.) And that is unfortunate for Republicans.
