The Dems still hold a massive 59 seat majority in the Senate mind you...

uh yeah spence, its not really a big deal that TED KENNEDY, the lion of the senate, was replaced with a republican. I am sure this doesnt send any message to other Dems up for reelection this year. Not a big deal.

Kerry is sweatin bullets. He will have some real headwinds come election day.

Happy day's will be here again

I hope the dems try and push this healthcare bill thru prior to Browns arrival...Not that I like the bill but I think it will be the undoing of the party and show a lot of true colors.

Ted Kennedy was a substantial Senator, Coakley was a joke.

The voters aren't stupid.

Perhaps they should have found a more worthy replacement.

I'm somewhere between you and Spence on this Jimmy...
I think a better candidate would have squeaked out a 52/48 victory, but still would have been a 'message' to the white house....

Liberals are brutal cannibals when things don't go their way. Last night prior to the polls closing they were already slitting Coakley's throat. So let's get this straight...so far this year:

Creigh Deeds....bad candidate
Jon Corzine.....bad candidate
Martha Coakley....bad candidate

...I see a trend!

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
