Thank you, Mr. O.
 
A Republican Senator from Massachusetts? Who'da thunk it? The bluest
of the blue states, a state where few Republicans hold an elected
office, has just elected a Republican. I am not the only one sick and
tired of Democrat arrogance. Nancy and Harry, and Mr. O., take notice.
The country does not want the health care bill or cap and trade.

Way to go Scott Brown. And as he said, it is the PEOPLES seat, not Teddy's.

Aren't you (and the press) extrapolating this rather widely?

No, I don't. It is Massachusetts, Myron. Republicans are only about
12% of the electorate. Marcia sic (a typical Kennedy gaff) aka
Martha Coakley was a shoo-in. I believe that this election is finally
telling the Dems in DC that they had better get their act in order or
else many of them will be looking for jobs come next January.

It will be interesting to see what Sec. of State Galvin does with the
results. Niki Znongas was seated in the House three days after she won
her election. Galvin had better do the same with Brown. There is talk
that he will delay Brown's overwhelming win by as much as a month or
two, leaving the Senate with super majority. The people of
Massachusetts are tired of the shenanigans of the Dems. I predict he
will be quickly seated.

I beg to disagree....these are not new problems were are dealing with. since
they were being discussed thirty years ago, in presidential debates twenty
years ago....and we did not...preferring to wait until our backs were
against the wall...we must have indeed wanted it.

The Democrats still have a majority in both houses. Repeat after
me . . . nuclear option. . . . And I don't remember you ever raising
an eyebrow when the Rs were in control, in fact as i recall you
indicated it was just peachy fine and Mr De Lay and company were just
exercising their majorities etc.. It would be a fine touch if the
Repubs were locked out of the hearing rooms like the Dems were don't
you think?

Other than that . . . enjoy that sweet taste of victory for a bit.
That fleeting taste of victory, while us Dems make history reforming a
broken health care system in a campaign in which Republicans refused
to participate, or even offer any coherent alternatives. Big Pharma,
Senator Frisk's family companies, and the managers of many offshore
bank accounts thank you for your service on their behalf.

Basically, the message is "We're mad as hell, and we're not going to
take it any more!" The people of MA are ****ed off. Unless things
change drastically in the next few months, Coakely will be gone along
with Gov. Patrick, in November. Kerry's senate seat is not secure,
either. I just hope that Obama gets the message and doesn't blame the
loss on Coakley's arrogance and inept campaign.

In an interview last night, Howard Dean said he felt that there should
be no vote taken on health care until Brown is seated. I think that is
a wise course of action, if the Democrats want to hold on to their
majority in the mid term elections. The sentiment across the country
seems to be much the same as it is in MA, and any further back room
deals, or other shenanigans will be accomplished at their peril.

Funny thing is, a while back the governors here appointed replacement
senators and representatives to complete unfinished terms. We had a
string of Republican governors, so the Dems pushed through legislation
requiring special elections, because they felt they could put up any
hack as a candidate, and election would be automatic. Not any more!
The last time this situation occurred, Nicci Tsongas , a Democrat, was
seated two days after election. Let's see what happens here.
