A month ago, MrsSal and I were having a conversation about the upcoming special election. This was right around the time that ObamaCare was making its way through the Senate, and Conservatives were feeling fairly dejected. True, we had the victories in Virginia and New Jersey, but while important, neither was earth-shattering. Anyways, MrsSal and I were lamenting the fact that Scott Brown had decided to run now, not because we didn’t like him, but because we thought it was too early in his political career. You see, we live in Browns district, and he represents us in the State Senate here in Massachusetts. We liked him, but thought that he may have had better success had he been a bit more of a seasoned politician.
When the Rasmussen poll came out on Jan. 4, I was ecstatic. I thought that even a close Brown loss would be a victory for the GOP. While I secretly hoped for a Brown victory, I never really thought he had much of a chance. As the days went by and the polls kept coming, showing Brown inching ever closer to victory, I kept telling myself that it was possible, but unlikely. When Coakley started making gaffe after gaffe, for the first time I thought that Scott Brown might just pull this thing off. And pull it off he did. Brown won tonight’s election, and will be the next Senator from Massachusetts.

I can only imagine what Teddy Kennedy’s reaction would be. Hehehe. One Senate seat in the win column. So many more to go.
I re-hung my American flag tonight, which has been in storage since November ‘08.
The speedy effort to ram it through the Senate and the insistence on buying 60 votes probably made the difference in this race.
I have a flag that has flown over Bagdad in an F-16, it has breen flying for a week.. I have a light on it now ...
God Bless America!
Also, what a profound political statement in the win!
