In a sense, Scott Brown has already won; not simply for his party, Republican, but for any candidate across the landscape who looks toward a volatile November with the message, "It's our turn."

The name of the storm is “Coakley steps in the toilet and pulls the handle herself.”

It ain’t over till it’s over.

Be of good cheer, but do not let down your guard.

The Dems will steal it if there is any way possible at all.

What we need are poll watchers to watch the poll watchers.

Just don’t try showing up with night sticks. That will not be accepted from this side.

Did not read the article but I get the gist of it and in this instance the pundits are spot on; even if (God I hope not) Brown loses, he (and we Cons) have won and BIG!

Regardless of the outcome in MA., the Demo-Rats have got to be scared witless over this tsunami of voter backlash and they must know that if this can happen in the bluest of blue states, very few are safe.

Add to that what the Tea Party activist will promote this year as well as more Fiats and Liberty-destroying proposals coming from Dear Leader and his sycophant fellow-travelers in Congress and it augurs well for a perfect storm this coming November.

If the mood is the same (or better in our favor) come November, I am psyched that there is a better than even chance to retake BOTH chambers.

I'm sure I speak for many Freepers in that after a year of wondering in the wilderness, for the 1st time in a long time, I see light at the end of the tunnel and and cautiously optimistic.

He just can't help getting in a dig...

But most of those lunging for his hand were not lunatics from the fringe, merely Democrats and Independents feeling bruised, ignored and taken for granted by people in power.

Yes, we conservatives are still nothing more than mere lunatic fringe

As if the Tea Party movement itself didn't stem from conservatives feeling "bruised, ignored and taken for granted by people in power”, aka the corrupt RNC-DNC monoparty.

OK, I will. This MA election is a once-in-a-lifetime event --at least here in Massachusetts. R's will roll nationally in '10.
