Sometimes, I think Democrats overreact too quickly before they consider everyone else. Republicans fall into the same on a national level as well.

BOSTON — Publicly, local Democrats are reacting calmly to the news Republican Scott Brown will not try to rejoin the U.S. Senate in the state’s special election this June. Brown was considered the G.O.P’s best chance to win the Senate seat and was a leader in early polling.

Only Thursday, the State Democratic Party threw an elbow by email — headlined “Scott Brown Set To Announce Campaign to Slow Down President Obama’s Agenda.” On the heels of Brown’s announcement a day later, the Party sent out the same email, scratching out Scott Brown and substituting “Some Other Republican Set To Announce Campaign to Slow Down President Obama’s Agenda.”

“Well, you know, Scott Brown unquestionably was the leading candidate for the Republican party but I’m certain they’re going to nominate someone,” said state Democratic Party chair John Walsh. “We accept the correction on our prediction and continue to be prepared.”

The Democrats’ two announced candidates were equally sedate. A statement from Congressman Ed Markey said “I respect Scott Brown’s decision and know he did what he thought was best for him and his family.”

Differing by only a verb, Congressman Stephen Lynch said “I understand Scott Brown’s decision… It’s perfectly understandable.” Lynch’s statement added “I wish all the best to Scott and his family.”

It was only privately that Democratic campaign consultants acknowledged the day had brought a big break for Democrats.

The humor was that Democrats were preparing for Scott Brown to run again for Senate, because he had the best chances of winning. Everything was set to take down the Republican front man, but Scott Brown hadn't even decided to enter the fight again.

I applaud Scott Brown for not entering politics of Washington again. The nation is in chaos, the politicians of the right and left plot more than govern, and we no longer have direction. In this type of landscape, the Kennedy testament to public service "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" is no longer possible.

It is better that people with noble and honorable intent leave politics and seek out their fellow Americans themselves to find true consensus beyond the palace intrigues on subjects of Abortion, Gun Control, and Immigration that might stir crowds, but hold no value for people's imminent needs.

I don't care if you seek expansion of worker education programs on the left or reduction of entitlement benefits on the right, because at least you are thinking of your fellow Americans just based on your views. Nowadays, politicians plot to keep power rather than help anyone else outside their parties.
