On a reread, I may have mistaken your post. I thought you meant Brown would spin, which I find fairly unlikely, actually. (at least, not on Wednesday.) Losers usually wait a while before saying much. You seem to be talking more about widespread party spin - I assume you mean that a dem loss would spark lots of "Hey, we're not
really in trouble" response. Sure, that's probably true. and there are significant risks for democrats this year. Absolutely. (Oh, how my hard core liberal friends would deride my conciliatory tone
)
