There are those who say that Obama’s health care plan will be dead if Democrats lose Massachusetts senate seat left vacant due to the death of Senator Edward Kennedy. In my view, it will be a massive blow to Obama’s reputation and he will begin to have second thoughts about America’s views about his agenda but he will still be able to have some sort of health care reform by not sending it to senate and asking the house democrats to pass it in its previous version.
From the dizzy heights of post-election success
to the present day where Obama is in mid 50s in his approval ratings, his dream of “change” has come crashing down to earth. Massachusetts has been a Democratic bastion for many years due to the Kennedy name and losing it to the republicans will be a massive downer for a president who hopes to spread the appeal of Democratic Party to the “red” states of Middle America.
At the time of writing, the race is neck & neck but let’s see what happens by the end of the night but the chances are that this could be a pivotal moment of the Obama presidency.

This is it. Coakley lost the election and with it Obama's credibility. Scott Brown has emerged as the new republican hero by clinching a seat which was for a long time a democratic stronghold. This is going to have a big impact on the health care bill and the coming house elections. Many of the congressman will now be vary of supporting this bill as they might deduct from the Massachusetts result that public opinion is against any such health care reform. We are going to witness some interesting times in the American body politique in the near future.
