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.

From our lips to God’s ear...
Great news.....
The next special election is in Arizona??
Call Harry Reid and say “SEAT SCOTT!”
Not trying to sound too “churchy”, but the more you look, the more you find.
That’s half of the story. The other half was assuming that they had one; being extra careful to detect vote stealing did its job.
If it can happen in Mass., it can happen anywhere.
... and Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson are happy that they got their big payoffs before this election took place.
Steele will claim credit...
Just you wait and see....
Thank you Freepers for a great conservative victory!!!!
This is just the opening salvo.
Good Lord! I flipped over and caught Olberdouche saying he was going to offer an apology for what he said yesterday. The only thing he didn’t apologize for in his disgusting litany was leaving out the word “sexist” where he repeated the tirade only to include this. Freakin’ scumbag. Not sure I’d trust myself if I ever bumped into him on the street.
The citizens have had enough and they are going about fixing the mess they created. Hell’s coming in November.
Yippee!
Sorry... should have said “the only thing he DID apologize for”
It’s not to late for the Dems to join the Birthers.
As a gesture of good faith, we should chip in and buy body bags for CNN, MSNBC, and DU.
Last Republican U.S. Senator in Massachusetts: Edward Brooke, 1967-1979. Last time someone other than a Kennedy or a family designee held the “Kennedy seat” in the Senate: 1953.
Newly elected Republican Scott Brown is fairly described as pro-choice, but he — with 70+ percent of the American public — opposes partial-birth abortion, favors parental consent, and opposes a big-government health care takeover that would bludgeon taxpayers into funding abortion. He also cosponsored a Women’s Right to Know Act, which requires a woman to wait 24 hours before having an abortion and to review pictures and information detailing the developmental progress of her fetus.
What a contrast to his radical pro-abort opponent Martha Coakley, who in a 2007 op-ed article in the Quincy (MA) Patriot-Ledger called a Supreme Court decision upholding a ban on partial-birth abortions “tragic.”
Thank you, pro-aborts, socialists, profligate spenders, and health “reform” fuhrers; your typically tin-eared, arrogant overreaching helped end the Party of Death’s 30-year Senate hegemony in Massachusetts.
Scott Brown: “It’s not the Kennedys’ seat, and it’s not the Democrats’ seat. It’s the people’s seat.” Unborn people, too.
cant agree more!
