I've heard seismologist are starting to detect signals that the ground is rumbling in Arlington NC: Teddy's getting ready to roll over should MC lose.

Until he gets down there as a Jr. senator, and is pressured to conform to the broader base party lines.
I stayed out of this A. because I needed a break from the forum, and B. I don't vote in Mass.
In all honesty he seems like a good gut check for the left to get it in gear and start working on their message and mission. If it kills the health care bill, do you guys see any chance at reform, or will it just become a string of filibusterers after filibusterers and bickering among the parties... we are moving more and more away from working across party lines to a counting game of who has how many chits.
You guys said it last year to those of us that voted for BHO... Be careful what you wish for... if it backfires, the blow back could be bad for the right...
we'll see. Regardless, if this is the amount of press this 1 election got, I'm not looking forward to this fall!  |

Dems are already talking of a new health care reform that fixes what's broken. This is a win/win for America.
I still say change is in the winds....Now lets change them all..Republican and Democrat.

I have no problem with that, and in MA would have had a hard time justifying Coakley myself.
I hope that is true. I want the HC that was campaigned for: Universal Care available for minors, and serious reform to make it more affordable for everyone else...

Ahh, that is the answer. 
It takes very little time to e-mail your represenatives and let them
know who they work for and pays their salary.

So now we have two idiot pretty boys in the Senate who will cancel each other's votes. Leaving Mass with no representation, virtually in the Senate. Maybe they both go do some nudie spreads in ladie's mags...The whole world is laughing...

Exactly! Coakley was very mis-informative with just about everything, but one thing that really irked me is how she stated that Brown was completely against Health Care Reform.
On the other hand, the single biggest item that had me unquestionably supportive of Brown is that he supports HC Reform, but not the current proposal at all. He recognizes (as I have been stating for months) that the current proposal is only an expansion of care, and not a method to reduce costs.
It seems like the Dems are starting to realized that as well.
I also appreciate that Reid has pledged not to hold up Brown's confirmation and they *will not* rush the HC vote in order to get it in before Brown is confirmed.
Maybe politicians can learn. |

confusion anger frustration and a large dose of WTF
were factors this time...
the dems... had 4 in the primary... and they picked wrong..
mediocre turnout... I think this whole thing would have had a different outcome if Cappuano had won the primary... would have been close..but I think Cappy would have pulled it out..
Coakley also laid back after the primary and did nothing...when she finally got involved she went negative... and too negative..
Kudos to Brown for running a fairly clean campaign, and not throwing down in the Mud with her...
voters are angry..
jobs economy, and the FUBAR health care "reform"??
Even Crazy Old Dem leader Howard Dean does not want what this dealed up effed up version of so called reform has to offer...wants it dead and buried and do over please.
Scott has 2 years.... and if he has any smarts...he will truly listen to his constituents...not his handlers... McCain..and Romney...
got the biggest kick out of the California Resident Mitt...making like he still lived in MA...Man..that Robot look has never left his dumbass face.
Mass is mostly independent not dem or repub...
the voters got pissed enuf to flex their muscles...
Brown would be well served to remember all the coffee shops he stopped the "truck" at...and what the folks truly had to say...
the carhart jacket, and the pickup... man what a gimmick...it worked..
but he better remember the folks that actually wear that jacket, and drive them trucks...they usually stay home in droves...but will come out and vote when peesed off...
if he don't deliver, they will throw him in the back of that truck in 2 years, and haul him off...
the fact he is a NRA and GOAL member, with the fear factor of loss of gun rights helped him immensely...but the press don't give that any play at all...
ammo and guns still flying off the shelves here in MA...
NOW... if you are truly pissed at how things are going in this state..
remember vote out all incumbents... when the Beacon Hill Gang comes up for parole... er... I mean re-election....

I fail to see the correlation between military experience and qualifications for public office. Joining the military is one of the most honorable things a person can do, but I don't think it necessarily qualifies them as a better candidate than someone else.
If Obama had served in the Marines, would that change anyone's opinion of him? |

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
