Polls are open.

Senate race in Massachusetts comes down to wire Read the article here: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-mass-senate19-2010jan19,0,6084655.story?track=rss

Her dogs are happy she lost.

And I got some news for her - they aren't the only ones happy!

[MAexile]

Did I just hear a scream of disbelief?

This is the hand of God, folks...he put the right man at the right place at the right time. Scott Brown ran a BRILLIANT Campaign. He worked his butt off. He worked for every vote. And people see that. They are tired of a government of “IT’S MY TURN NOW.” Those days are OVER.

New blood. Out with the fossil incumbents. Scott Brown and Bob McDonnell "WORKED HARD and WON" their races by running on issues. You're right about that.

I really like Scott Brown. He thinks on feet and he knows exactly what he stands for. He didn't have to search his memory to "try to recall" what he was supposed to say. He knew what he wanted to say.

If they go Nuculear, it will be like Clevon Little w/a gun to his head in Blazing Saddles.

Thank You Lord for America

I KNEW she reminded me of someone....I told the hubby that she reminded me of a condescending school administrator somewhere.

[NonValueAdded]

well, a kudo to Sen. Webb then. Surprisingly statesman like.

[ReformedBeckite]

Croakley just like Obama, head bobing back and forth from tele promter or how ever you spell it.

[wbill]

To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated.”

WOW!

This would be the first white flag going up. VA ain't a solid blue state, by any stretch, and Webb is looking for political coverage.

Excellent catch, BTW.

[Matchett-PI]

bttt Whoo Hooo!

[Westerby]

You gotta admit - Coakley is an inspirational speaker.

I just went through the list of Demo candidates up for re-election in November. Anyone know why they all have the last name of Toast?

[SeattleBruce]

Well, well, well...they are going to HAVE to start listening...and we’ll be coming for them next!

[MaxMax]

Croakley had an entitlement mentality, which is usual for arrogant libs these days.

She got her upincomins, along with the rest of the party.

[onyx]

I do believe the link was overheated due to his daughter’s performance.

Thank you! I wondered what happened.

[Moonlighter]

Can’t be...he would actually have to have balls in order for that to occur.

[keepitreal]

How sad. Coakley’s thanking people for campaigning hard with her “the whole weekend”. Yikes.

The fill-in cannot vote.

Scott meets the Constitutional requirements, and is now the qualified Senator from Masschusetts.

Certification is not necessary to prove qualifications.

The Secretary of State of Massachusetts does not override the federal Constitution, nor the Constitution of the State of Massachusetts.

[Citizen Soldier]

well, don’t praise him too fast, they may seat him and still go for the 51 vote on reconcilliation

I always refer to them as 80%ers since that’s how many in the world are below average. It’s sad.

[MitchellC]

This is an amazing thing to see, for sure. Brown is a liberal, probably in the mold of the Maine twins, but since he destroys the super-majority I'll take it!

Question for the election watchers: how do you think Brown's election will affect the November elections?

Quite frankly, I'm beginning to fear that with this victory, with the threat of ObamaCare apparently no longer hanging over us, much of the enthusiasm in our movement may dry up. I sure hope not.

[randita]

Webb won’t be the only one with this view. Reid is facing a revolt from Blue Dog Dems. scared for their political life.
