HYANNIS PORT - In this quiet seaside village where his family was rooted, Senator Edward M. Kennedy was a familiar figure, known by many residents as a friend and neighbor. But yesterday, Ted Kennedys hometown did not look or sound like a place deeply attached to the senators liberal legacy, with blue-and-red Scott Brown signs propped in shop windows and driveways, and many voters voicing an appetite for change.

Old Ted is spinning fast enough that they ought to hook him up to a dynamo and light the east coast.
The kennedy era is officially dead! Thank goodness and God Bless America.
Remember Me??
Mary Jo :-)
How about that 15-point Coakley lead, huh?
I still enjoy my own personal conspiracy theory that Ted really died last July on the 40th anniversary of MJ’s death. They just kept it hidden for a while. That also allowed his loser family to continue to collect his senatorial paycheck.
We, hope that you enjoyed your honeymoon first year as Potus. What happened January 19, 2010 in former Kennedy Land was just the beginning as we take back our country.
Poll was conducted Jan 2-6...but real reason is they probably polled in places more like to vote Dem
Beverly went 55-45 for Scott. N Andover, 65-35
The kennedy era is OVER. Everyone said this couldn’t be done in a state like MA. Well, what they didn’t realize is that this is a new era. The kennedy name meant something for a long time but lately??? It meant nothing. People were tired of the same old name and the same old election. It was stale, tired and just plain old. In this day and age people were looking for fresh, young, positive, new blood with new ideas and new views for the future. kennedy was the same old rhetoric over and over and the time was right for a change ... a BIG CHANGE to take place.
It was NOT kennedy’s seat. Brown was right. It was the PEOPLE’S SEAT but I guess people living there for so long were so used to the status quo they thought it would go on forever. Well, the times change and what WAS or SEEMED important does not always mean it is.
So,along came Scott Brown. Young, handsome, family man, humorous, intelligent, regular guy who drives a truck, lives and enjoys his life and doesn’t wallow in the gloom and doom scare tactics of the left which was the same old mantra of the kennedy era.
It’s OVER. DONE. GONE FOREVER.
Now MA looks to the bright future that will be provided by Scott Brown. THAT my friends is the REAL story and the one that is choking everyone on the left. They were arrogant in their mindsets that the seat would automatically go to a democrat. Surprise. That’s what I mean about an era being gone FOREVER.
Soctt Brown turned it all around and he did it with class, dignity and confidence in what he was doing was right for the state and our country. He was right.
Congratulations Scott Brown.
Ted Kennedy was scum.
I pray he is watching from down there...
Come on now, let's give credit where credit is due. We owe the swimmer big time. Was it not he who set up this glorious new dawn for the People's Senate seat with his timely death and his insistence on reversing a statute that he created to prohibit the Governor from putting a crony in the aforementioned seat? I only wish that Scott Brown had had a Freudian moment and referred to the windbag as a Great Farce in Massachusetts instead of a Force during his acceptance speech.
Next stop: the People's House, Senate, Scotus and WH.
No more waving of the bloody shirt. Go away Kennedy’s. You’ve damaged this country enough. JFK would disown the Kennedy punks that infest the govt today.
