Default The changing of the tide?

My state, about as blue as they get, just elected a Republican to Ted Kennedys former senate seat. Can you believe it?

Default Republican Wins Massachusetts senate race

http://www.azstarnet.com/article_2c8...cc4c002e0.html

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.


Wake up Queen Pelosi... this country is not your play thing to impose your pet projects upon, get your resume in order you socialist scum bag.

cant imagine why one of the most liberal states in the union would vote in a republican...

Hmmmm lets wonder.

some of those democrats on the hill are so far out of touch with the people of this country that they are all going to be hitting the bricks next year.

Its really too bad that the progressives have so deeply infiltrated and used the Democtrat party so badly... Obama and Pilosi have pushed and pushed and pushed against the majority... apparently neither of them knows how the system works LOL

Nor do they like being taken for granted. Just ask the British.

Hear, hear!

Patriotism lives in the northeast today my friend

its not that many republicans dont feel we need health care overhaul... a lot of republicans DO feel that way.

but the socialized, gazillion dollar legacy that is doomed to failure is not the answer.

Tonight, our people on the hill got an appetizer of things to come.

i love this too...
