"A teachable moment", as some say.

Just sayin'.

Go ahead, rub it in. I was not one of the naysayers. I’m from Indiana and I sent Scott Brown $100. Woo hoo!

I was so sure we were going to experience Déjà vu (à la franken and Minnesota) with numerous recounts until coakley was just one vote ahead so they could start shouting "We won! It's over!"

With all their corrupt ideas and tactics, it amazes me still that they didn't somehow try to drag this out forever.

Great post! I was getting so sick of all the naysaying. Now lets call our Congressional reps AGAIN and remind them about how we feel about health care reform.

I was somewhat of a naysayer, simply because I did not think he could overcome the Dem voter fraud.

I DID send some $$ to his campaign and I’m thrilled he won!

The dems HAVE GOT to be scratching their heads.
When you factor in the fraud (and you know there was plenty), he probably won more like 60-70%. THIS in a VERY BLUE state.

Even worse than the Eeyores are the 100%’ers, the ones who reject anything less than perfection, settle for nothing, and then gripe endlessly about how bad things are.

A week ago, I thought he might eeek it out but it would be close enough to be Franken-ed. he won by the minimum required 5% which prevents the demholes from stealing it.

I am very glad Scott Brown won. He is definitely a solid Massachusetts conservative.

I have to state that I do not see national office in his future, unless I have underestimated his conservatism.

Time will tell.

(I was hopeful, but neutral to avoid huge disappointment.)

Let’s not get overconfident; Brown still needs to be certified.

Yes,Sooner,I was one of the naysayers.And obviously I was wrong.But remember a couple of things....

1)I'm a lifelong resident of Massachusetts.I follow what's going on and have for years.I feel that I know this state pretty well.OTOH,I've never even set foot in Oklahoma and wouldn't pretend to know anything about the state.Tell us how much *you* know about Massachusetts.

2)I'd bet the clothes on my back that Brown,when he started the campaign,didn't think he had a prayer of winning.In fact,I'd wager that *nobody* who knows this state thought he could win.Brown's having won here is as unexpected as being struck by lightening.

Yes,I was wrong but this event,having occurred in Massachusetts,isn't "a teachable moment'.In most other states that wouldn't be the case.But here,it is.

Yesterday was a fluke.Nobody should assume that they'll ever again see anything like it (in this state) during their lifetime.
