Lt. Col. Rides Tsunami, Coakley rides broom stick; Bush blamed
In his stump speech last Sunday Obama spent most of it obsessing about Scott Brown's truck. No one owns or drives a truck that I know of, so this message should really resonate with the folks! Obama ran against Brown's truck. And the truck won. Decisively! In Massachusetts! With a victory margin (52%-47%) well beyond the margin of litigation and the margin of Al Franken.
In his magnificent victory speech tonight, Brown thanked his family, campaign team and the voters of Massachusetts. And he especially thanked Obama -- for stumping for Coakley! (Kidding...)
Two weeks ago, every liberal assumed. The all-wise know-nothing libbies in the punditry assumed Coakley would win.
Coakley should be a lock in the only state to vote for McGovern in '72, so the liberal newspapers assumed Coakley would win.
Democrats would all flock back to the party in the end, so the liberal broadcast grandees assumed Coakley would win.
The "wake-up" call from the Ras poll a few weeks ago would give Democrats enough time to rev up "The Machine", so CNN and MSNBC assumed Coakley would win.
Coakley's double-digit lead in the Boston Globe's phony poll would kill Brown's surge, so the Boston Globers believed their own bogus poll and assumed Coakley would win.
Even some Republicans assumed Coakley would win. Pelosi assumed voters in Massachusetts are as stupid and insane as she is, so Pelosi assumed Coakley would win. Kerry assumed Coakley would win. Reid assumed Coakley would win. Then election results started trickling in. Obama assumed the fetal position.
For your enjoyment, some examples of the babbling "Conventional Wisdom", all from a single page in last Sunday's online Washington Post:
"I don't think Coakley will lose." -- Martin Frost, former Texas Democrat Congressman."If Coakley were to lose, which is still unlikely..." -- Ed Rogers, Chairman of the BGR Group and GOP presidential staffer.
"Martha Coakley will win Tuesday because she will have a superior ground operation in a low-turnout election." -- Mary Beth Cahill, former Ted Kennedy staffer and Kerry campaign manager.
"There is no way that Martha Coakley can lose: Kennedy family members will personally carry Massachusetts voters to the polls to keep that from happening. More likely is that she wins by a relatively small margin of victory that will be written off as a status-quo outcome by the political community whose expectations for a huge upset were raised beyond all rational levels this past week." -- Dan Schnur, Director of the Unruh Institute of Politics, University of Southern California.
The reflexive reaction from the same crop of liberal losers who didn't see the Tsunami in Massachusetts coming has been to dust-off the same lame-o excuses they offered up to explain away Jon Corzine's shellacking in November. Coakley croaked tonight because she sucked as a candidate, ran a terrible campaign, all politics is local. The problem with this 'move-along, nothing-to-see-here' load of crap is that the seismic sea wave that swept over Massachusetts wasn't caused by Coakley's deficient campaign skills. Lots of lousy campaigners sit in Congress. Brown's truck didn't create the Tsunami either. ObamaCare, Crap-and-Trade and other Obama fetishes triggered the wave that Coakley got swamped under while Brown knew how to ride it. Brown's a magnificent campaigner because he connects and he connects because his message resonates and it resonates because he's truly a man of the people, the very people liberals have nothing but contempt for.
As for ObamaCare itself, even Barney Frank can read the writing on the wall. He delivered a eulogy tonight. So very moving, too! hahaha!
THANK YOU, Scott Brown and THANK YOU MASSACHUSETTS!
Anyway, that's...

The descendants of the people who started the First American Revolution have stepped up to lead the Second.
My family came here in 1642. Some of us never changed.
We just waited.
That's the only reason I have not moved away. Why should I be driven like a dog from my ancestral land by repulsive people?
I have no idea what happened to the Commonwealth in the last fifty years, or where these leftists came from, but I wish they'd just Go Away.
Let’s hope this doesn’t encourage the R(INO)NC into cockiness.
I enjoyed the video. I just watched more of Frank Luntz’s group this morning on F&F. One woman thought he had run into too much resistance. Several still want him to succeed. How can people be so clueless?
ROFL!!!!
Watching Fox yesterday afternoon -- they were interviewing ppl coming out from the polling places. One older couple, maybe in the 60's, the wife says "The last week was just plain ugly. I couldn't vote for Coakley after that." And the husband says something along the lines of "As soon as the Kennedy's came out, I swung to Brown. We don't need any royalty."
I thought that was pretty indicative of the mood in MA.
zero was a little known state senator just a few short years ago. He was in the U.S. senate less than two years when he began his WH run.
Best Hitler/Downfall video ever.
"Health care reform was supposed to be finished by August. It's dragging on forever like Stalingrad!"
LOL! Damned good analogy.
That concerns me as well.
Independents. I just cannot get my head around this group.
They vote on the silliest of impulses, and they delivered us 0.
Then turned around and aborted 0 by breaking for Brown.
Not all independents are the same. Some independents vote for the most conservative person republican or democrat. Many independents held their nose and voted for John McCain.
Well said! I really liked this part:
“Even some Republicans assumed Coakley would win. Pelosi assumed voters in Massachusetts are as stupid and insane as she is, so Pelosi assumed Coakley would win. Kerry assumed Coakley would win. Reid assumed Coakley would win. Then election results started trickling in. Obama assumed the fetal position.”
Not all independents are the same. Some independents vote for the most conservative person republican or democrat. Many independents held their nose and voted for John McCain.
++++++++++++++
That being the case, they should ID themselves as Conservatives, imho, and remove all doubts.
“when he began his WH run.”
Unfortunately that campaign has not yet ended...perpetually campaigning...enough to drive us mad.
When I go to vote in the primary, they ask me which ballot Republican or Democrat? Conservative is not one of the options.
That is wickedly funny!
