Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean has a message for Democrats after tonight’s loss in the special election for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts senate seat: Toughen up.

The Democrats, if we wanna govern right, we’re gonna have a message. We’re gonna have to show decisiveness. We’re gonna have to show boldness. We’re gonna have to show toughness and we’re gonna have to show leadership. And leadership is not trying to be centrists and getting everyone to work together — because that’s not gonna happen.
