The loss of the Massachusetts senate race has been quite a blow to the Democratic Party this week, specifically to the Health Care plan, which will most likely not be passed any time soon. So as time goes on we are noticing a huge sort of drop, at least that’s what it feels like to me. President Obama has a new advisor it seems, one who is thought to be the best political minds in the country as of now. President Obama has recently asked David Plouffe to come back and help re-strategize the Democratic Party. They are needing help to get Democrats voted into office. David Plouffe is all for pushing on with the democratic agenda, especially trying to get the health care plan passed. I watched a video on ABC about what they were calling the "Scott Brown" affect. People who have never run for political office before are seeing this as an opportunity to get their voice heard, especially republicans. People who might not have tried are going for it- they all want to get in. Personally, I think this is great. We are getting fresh faces, people we've never seen before, people with no family connections or party agendas, they just want to get what they think should be done, done.

Secondly, I think that it is interesting that Obama's administration needs help right now. I think that throughout his whole election and his term so far, he has help up an aura of confidence and assurance, but now? I think that he is realizing that something has to be done, that this country needs more than just a new health care plan, they need someone who will answer they're questions and not try to take over. So to end this little rant, I have to say that although things might be getting a little sticky, I think things have taken a turn for the better. People are starting to know more clearly what they want and they're less afraid out get it out there.
