My radio station in Boston has been non-stop on the Brown/Coakley race for weeks. Three of our hosts are pro-Brown, two pro-Coakley. We were broadcasting from our own victory rally tonight in Braintree, MA at the very moment Scott Brown got the concession call from Coakley. He joined us on the air almost immediate to share the good news.
The crowd of several hundred, packed into a room designed for half their number, exploded. Having not been in Boston when they broke the Curse, I can only speculate, but it must have been a similar moment. The crowd wouldn't let Sen. Brown speak. The cheering, clapping and crying wouldn't stop. All Senator Brown could say was "I really can't hear anything, but I'll speak to all of you soon."
For at least five minutes, we stood looking at each other in disbelief. Some people kept looking at the TV looking for confirmation from AP. Could it be true?
Finally it sank in. The cheering began to subside, and then came the cry: "Who's next?"
Another roar, and then came the names: Kerry, Frank, and loudest of all Gov. Deval Patrick.
These people have had their first taste of political success in a long time. They feel hope again, for the first time in years. And they're spoilin' for another brawl in the Bay State.
Since I'm on a roll with predictions, let me make one more: Gov. Patrick does not run for re-election. Massachusetts will elect one Republican congressman.
For taxpayers and typical Massachusetts citizens, this moment has a dreamlike quality.
For Massachusetts liberals, the nightmare is just beginning.

All of the above, please
Let’s not get crazy.
And it’s high time we out here in the Golden State started cleaning our house, too! And who’d better to get rid of first than Babs Boxer?
After seeing this election, no dem is safe, anywhere.
No incumbent is safe.
I say, vote them ALL out, and start over with term limits.
WOO HOO!
Everyone pray to their God for mass confusion to fall upon the evil schemes of the Demonrats.

Bill Clinton too.
Does Coakley run for AG?
I’m not getting any sound yet.
I’ll go help Deval pack now!
NANCY PELOSI PLEASE...............

Yes, all of the above, but ESPECIALLY Bawney Fwank!
Scott Brown’s HQ - Senator Brown getting ready to speak!
What a joyous crowd!!! I NEVER in all my life thought I would be witnessing such a scene from Massachusetts!
God is good!
(Now we gotta commit to pray for Senator Brown because he is going to the most corrupt political body in the country....and will immediately be set upon to by those corruptng forces.
Pray for him to stay strong, stay independent, stay firm, stay safe, and stay fired up against the Obama agenda....and don’t be afraid to bring his fresh insight into that God-forsaken place....
Let every liberal Dem and EVERY RINO know: "You are NEXT!"
I hope Waxman is the first to go, Troll looking b_s_t_d.
True... he has some friends (e.g. Mitt Romney) about which enemies would be better.
