Most polls show a shocking upset to fill Ted Kennedy's senate seat in Massachusetts. A year ago, who would have thought Obama would be forced to travel to Massachusetts to help campaign for Ted Kennedy's Senate seat?

Talk about a crushing defeat if this happens. Let the finger pointing begin !

Hope and change.

You know the libs are desperate when Ed Schultz said if he lived in Mass. he would vote 10 times. Says he would cheat to keep these bastards out.

I think it just goes to show that even in a district that mostly votes one way or the other, if you don't campaign, you stand a good chance of losing...even if she was way up in the polls just a week ago.

there is hope for change

What I find kind of interesting is that after Teddy K. passed on I figured that the Dems would rally around his health care legacy and push something through. They didn't and now the special election for his seat just might undo the whole ball of wax.

I welcome the new Senator from Mass. Hopefully the Dems will rediscover the fine art of compromise and reaching across the aisle. Hopefully the GOP will not hold up the fillibuster as Option 1A in their bag of tricks.

I fully expect that one of the moderate R's will fold and the super majority will be regained.
It's politics, just think of all the free exposure, and Dem's slapping your back, glory be!

Maybe Washington State can Hope For Change too.

Not unless Kink County slips into the Sound.

One Whack at a time....

Very nice win by Brown in a state where Dems outnumber Repubs 3.5 to 1. There must be a lot of acid reflux going around the White House and the Democratic party tonight.

What happened Ed did monkeys just fly outta your butt? You better call me we need to go to lunch so I can find out just how upset you really are.

I don't think the Dems outnumber the Reps 3.5 to 1...I think the Reps and Dems are pretty even, but the other 40% who are independents usually vote for Dems there, which skews the numbers...this time the independents voted for Brown, and at risk of playing the blame game, I blame it all on Chokely...she fukked up, thought she had it in the bag when she won the Dem. primary, and literally went on vacation while Brown went campaigning.

The people of Mass don't want Obamacare, which is a huge reason she lost her huge lead. The Christmas eve vote was the last nail in the coffin....this current health care plan is DEAD !!!!

Any way you look at it, Mass. is the ultra-lib rock......until now.

Lots of blaming going on today. Extreme name calling gone wild over at MSNBC of course and the standard... The voters are stupid and deserve what they get ...big lib theme today along with blaming the candidate and Obama and the party etc...The hopey changey thingy that hasn't worked out as promised just might have had something to do with today's upset. Hopefully Kerry and Barney are on the block next up there. One bright spot is that the financial markets are happy....

Wake up call for the democrats!
Well here we go back to gridlock

I've seen numbers of 38% Dem, 11% Repub and 51% Independent quite a few places. It looks like the Independents voted for change, got impatient with hope, and took matters into their own hands. Not even AF1 swooping in could pull this one out of the fire.

Maybe, just maybe, much to the chagrin of KK, the Republican party which 12 months ago had one foot over the cliff edge and the other on a banana peel has managed to right its self. Or more likely, the Dems are gonna fumble and throw up all over themselves after building a big lead.
