Ralph Waldo Emerson as he might have weighed in on MA election

By Harold Witkov

"The pundits can say what they want about the elections in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts, but each was a referendum on Barack Obama and his policies. President Obama campaigned in all three states for the losers. President Obama's name may has well been on the ballots.

"Hope and Change" rhetoric during Obama's election campaign made for great intoxication politics, but there is nothing more sobering than was our President's first year in office.

Now that most clear thinking Americans have regained their senses, they are freely acknowledging that President Obama is indeed not a political messiah, but a mere mortal. Being mortal, he can be judged like any man. Who better to explain the Massachusetts election than Massachusetts native son Ralph Waldo Emerson?"

"The key to every man is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified."
