Scott Brown Wins!!!

Epic, epic, epic! 
I can't sum it up any better than commenter 'Monty' at Ace's:

The Donk spin is inevitable, but it isn't going to work in this case. If it were any other state, any other Senate seat, then yes; they could spin it. But this was Saint Teddy the Blessed Savior's seat! Which he had held for more than four decades! And declared that health-care was his signature issue!

...and was just roundly defeated by a GOP candidate named Scott Brown.

This is not spin-able. This is a catastrophe, a calamity, a chasm the Democrats are still struggling to fathom. The "setbacks" in North Virginia and New Jersey are now looking like the vanguard of the slaughter to come, with tonight's debacle freezing the hearts of every at-risk Democrat in both houses of Congress. No Democrat seat is safe; they suspected this before but they know it now.

Obama's touch turns things to lead rather than gold; he is a lame-duck from now on. A failure. (And this is about Bammer, no doubt about it: by going to Mass to stump for Coakley, and failing, he made it about himself rather than Coakley. And he belly-flopped, just like every other time.) Democrats are going to trample each other rushing to the center to avoid the coming electoral bloodbath (much good it may do them), which means that the health-care bill, amnesty, card-check, and the KSM show-trial are probably all dead.

It has been a great day, my fellow Morons. A great day indeed.

Damn Straight! And, Way To Go Massachusions!

Watch This Election

Teddy Kennedy died in August, '09.  This was as the national debate over the Democrats' National Health Care Plan kicked into high gear and Republican resolve against it began to harden.  Democrats realized they were going to need every single vote they had to push the thing forward, and Obama as well as Teddy Kennedy himself shortly before he died, pressured Mass Gov. Deval Patrick to bend Massachusetts' own rules and fill the spot with an interim senator until elections could be held.   A Democrat named Paul Kirk was appointed.  He is not important as he is ineligible to run as the successor.  He was only there to rubber stamp anything Dems wanted him to rubber stamp until the election for Kennedy's replacement could be completed.

Since then, the only mystery has been which Democrat would be nominated to succeed Kennedy.  After all, this heavily blue state voted for Obama 62%-36%.  Massachusetts hasn't had a Republican senator since 1979.  The Special Election being held this month to fill Ted Kennedy's seat ought to be a gimme for Democrats; and that's been the thinking for most of this six month campaign season.  But, with the great rise in anger over Democrats' determined efforts to push America farther into Socialism, the standard thinking may be about to be turned on its head: Republican State Senator Scott Brown has been under the radar most of the campaign season, as Republicans always are in Massachusetts, but, in the first poll for this race, Rasmussen showed him trailing the Democrat Martha Coakley by only 9%.  Sounds like a lot, but not for a Republican in Massachusetts.  Since that poll, it appears that the race has been tightening.  Check out Ace for an analysis.

OK, I'm getting repetitive with my superlatives, but the implications of a Brown victory on Jan 19th (I think) would be huge: A Republican taking 'The Liberal Lion's' place in deepest blue Massachusetts, who would be the 41st filibustering vote on any new version of the Health bill sent to the Senate, enabling the blockage of the bill Harry Reid named "the Kennedy Health Bill", would confirm that a tidal shift to the Right far bigger than the shift to the Left that occurred in '08 is about to happen, or actually is in-process. 

Conversely, even a close Brown loss (by less than 10%) would show that the electorate is turning, but just not as extremely fast as a victory would indicate.

Pray for Change RTPrs!
