BOSTON In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in a U.S. Senate election Tuesday that left President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marred the end of his first year in office.
The loss by the once-favored Coakley for the seat that the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy held for nearly half a century signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.

Since the contest was nationalized, we in the rest of the nation need to be relentless about reminding everyone of that. This was about the tyranny of the super-majority.
Importantly, more than being just nationalized in terms of the issues raised in Mass, it was a nationalized support effort, with money bombs, remote phone banking, and $$ and shout-outs (grin) from across the coutry flooding into the Brown campaign.
Let’s all welcome Scott to DC, how about a few thousand from lots of states coming to the capital to show that we all across America are excited about what the whistle-past-the-graveyard gangs will deprecate as a “local” aberration in Mass.
I’m half-inclined to paste a Scott Brown bumper sticker on my car here in MD. Last week, the local liberals would have said “Scott Who?” - but not after today.
Scott Brown for President 2012!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Six months ago, if anyone here would have even breathed the possibility of a victory like this to celebrate Obammy’s Emaculation, people like me would have set on you and laughed you out of the room.
We have been to the brink my friends, and it looks like Massachusetts voters pulled us all back from the edge.
That giant BOOM you just heard was the collective assholes of every Dhimmie up for election this year slamming shut in unison.
Wouldn’t you love to be in the room to witness Nancy Pelosi’s screaming temper tantrum over this..??
Time to break out the good bottle of Irish whiskey...Black Bush tonight boys and girls...!!
That’s great, sarge.
On MSMBC the reporter said that when Brown’s daughter told the audience that Coakley had conceded, the audience turned to the camera’s and yelled “JOHN KERRY YOUR NEXT”.
Hehe
They were incensed!
Scott Brown’s seat....
I love it!
“Obama and the Communists are going to turn Washington in to Iwo Jima.”
Good destroying them is going to be fun.
Palin/Brown 2012....that would be a GREAT looking, conservative duo.
1994: The Sequel
Followed, I hope, by
1980: The Sequel--the Palin Revolution.
Marcia now croaking........
About...hings we believe in and will still fight for .....(things like total injustice for the jailed innocents, and for the rapists whose father contributes to Dem campaigns)....
Question - does she lose her job as AG now?
Silly question, I know....but just asking....
I just took a trip over to the DUmp, and the ants are scared out of their gourds over November!
No, it wouldn't. A Republican would have to win the seat all over again. I don't want to see that seat up for grabs for six years.
I see the White House as Mt. Suribachi at this point. We have been invaded and the Communists have the high ground...but we got the USMC!
