Democrats are in danger of losing an important Senate seat held for more than forty years. The Massachusetts special election between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican State Senator Scott Brown to replace late Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy will be settled tonight.

Losing means that health care reforms in progress by the current administration will collapse and all battles in the future will face opposition from the Republican party, which already signaled that anything from this administration will not get their support.

What is Plan B for the Democrats in case they lose Massachusetts? Are they going to give up the fight for health care reform in America? Optimism is a good recipe for success, but not necessarily a guarantee. An alternate plan to save health care reform is necessary. As the Douala of Cameroon say, “It’s only when you aim at one spot that your urine spatters.”
