I know the OFA community and the President share that frustration. We also saw what we knew to be true all along: Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn. While it doesn't take away the sting of this loss, there is no road to real change without setbacks along the way. We could have simply sought to do things that were easy, that wouldn't stir up controversy. But changes that aren't controversial rarely solve the problem. Our country continues to face the same fundamental challenges it faced yesterday. Our health care system still needs reform. Wall Street still needs to be held accountable. We still need to create good jobs. And we still need to continue building a clean energy economy. The President isn't walking away from these challenges. In fact, his determination and resolve are only stronger. We must match that commitment with our own. But it won't be easy. Real change never is. For that reason, I am grateful you're part of this fight with us. Thank you, Mitch Mitch Stewart Director Organizing for America
So, to be clear, Martha Coakley lost in Massachusetts because:

  1. The American people don’t think the pace of change is fast enough; AND
  2. The American people are resistant to change.

We don’t want it at all, but we do want it quickly. Got it.

UPDATE: Howard Dean gives Chris Matthews an equally inane explanation. (Via Allahpundit.)

And I’ve brought somebody with me today who knows a little something about change. My husband, the President of the United States — Barack Obama. (Applause.)

Jesus, I thought they had finally jettisoned the smug “Change” sloganeering.

UPDATE: From J in STL,

Maybe somebody should have pointed out to her that the Olympics is all about continuity. Like over two thousand years of continuity. Change wasn’t what they were looking for.
