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.

He’s touching all the bases

So what does it mean when Obama goes to bat for imperiled Dem Candidates three different times with no results?

Maybe Curt Schilling can help with this one.....

Speaking of baseball analogies, I wonder if any of the Photoshop gurus on this board could replace A-Rod in this picture with Obama, and the Yankee emblem on the batting helmet with the presidential seal.

That would really say it all.

Now that Brown is talking, not ONE other station is carrying this.

Anyone that doesn't watch Fox News or CSPAN will know what Brown is telling the nation how he will work to change things in Washington.

Heck, I’m IN Missouri and my mom still loves the Kennedys(barf) - he’s obliged to give Teddy a shoutout if he doesn’t want to alienate a large chunk of voters.

Well I still cringed everything he praised Kennedy, because Kennedy was one of those that stands against everything Brown is professing to believe in. So it worries me. Time will tell Who Brown actually is.

Apart from that- I really enjoyed his speech. He was in no way -boring- for sure. He is a very good speaker...And down to earth and full of fun.

Steroids didn’t help or teach A-Rod the snap kick or knee to the groin of Varitek. Oh well.

They are so cute at that age anyway. Let them play.

I was watching fox and did not know that. The people of MA who were wanting to watch are going to be mighty ticked with the other networks. The network bias is going to be glaring even to them.

I was afraid to believe...afraid of the optimistic threads.....

but I gave as did many of us to the money bomb....and we crossed our fingers and said little prayers...

and now....this overwhelming great victory...

its just all too inspiring....

remember the last time rats took over everything...back in 1992 and I think the rats took the White House, the Senate, the House....

and little by little ....a defection here, a defection there, a little trimumph here and a little one there....

then came 1994 and the rats were ROLLED!

remember folks one of the first little victories was by Cao down in Orleans...

then a rat defection to the pubs...then the massive victory in New Jersey..among others....

and its all to the Glory of God, and the common people who fought back against tyranny..

The moron Norah odonnell just said that Brown ran as an independent and it was not a Republican win. Plus Brown is all for waterboarding and the media forgot to report heavily on that.

Sure thing, ditz.
