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

[who knows what evil?]

CNN and MSNBC cut away from Brown’s speech...gee; I wonder why?

[TornadoAlley3]

[AGreatPer]

"If they are covering me". Great statement since certain networks cut away.

Looked at his watch to cut it off just before commercial time. Brilliant.

This guy may not be perfect but he just accomplished the greatest upset, IMHO and considering the circumstances, in American history

[taildragger]

Now we can look forward to the next victory...Pat Toomey :^)

No.... Hey Barney Frank, YOUR NEXT!!!

[jwalsh07]

He ‘s on too long and he’s slurring words here and there.

It's just the way he talks. Like me. A regular guy from the regular Army.

I've had enough of the smooth talking bs artists. It's high time we have a guy from Wrentham, Ma who drives a truck and thinks taxpayer money should be spent on bullets to kill terrorists rather than on lawyers to defend them.

I know Scott and I will disagree on issues in the future because he isn't as conservative as I am but like Bush I like Scott Brown.

It would be nice to see Sarah Palin send out a message on Facebook congratulating Scott Brown, since NOTHING would make the left go into heart attack mode than that

She already did!

Mr. Brown Goes to Washington... In a Pick-up Truck, No Less!

[PGalt]

WOW! Amazing and fantastic! Thank you Senator Scott Brown!

Thank you voters of Massachusetts!

Per Drudge

Sen. Jim Webb [D]: ‘Suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated’...

On to Plan C

Senator Jim Webb puts out a statement that puts the notion of a quick Senate vote out of reach and pretty much makes a certification fight moot:

Talked too long and it’s become a campaign speech.

The speech wasn't for us out here. It was for all the people in the room who worked their butts off for him-his tireless supporters. This is historic. They would have stayed there all night and hear him talk. What the rest of the US thinks is irrelevant.

[prairiebreeze]

I'm loving it that he is so unabashedly enjoying his victory and realizing what a tremendous accomplishment he has pulled off.

Exactly, me too. Deservedly so.

[Scotswife]

my sister took that pic and made it her facebook profile LOL

[taildragger]

Who’s the little kid? A niece?

[magritte]

Franken is peeing his diaper right now...magritte

[Lakeshark]

He’s sounding a lot more conservative than a few on this board wanted us to believe. This is not your ordinary Northeastern RINO.

[paulycy]

ALL IN ALL, THAT WAS A FANTASTIC SPEECH!!!

Yes. The man can speak. Another thread suggested he be the responder to zer0's SOTU and that sounds good to me after this speech (if he leaves out the personal family stuff.)

[maggief]

Huge win ... even bigger message sent to DC ... HISTORIC!

Congratulations Scott Brown!

[sonic109]

exactly..hope he tightens up his speeches.

[JustPiper]

Win or lose, the party’s over for Obama & Co.
