Now days the Reps would be happy just to have a good bowel movement. It's now the party of no + 1. Nothing to see here....move along.

Another thing to remember is that Brown only has 2 years to serve until that seat is up for grabs again. I HIGHLY doubt that the Dems are gonna run another schmuck for the 6 year term after gettin' beat this time... and I'll bet money that Brown loses it next go 'round. Especially if he coddles the Teabaggers.

This pretty well sums it up IMO:

“When you raise people’s expectation for change, and then what they get is something altogether different than what they expected, combined with an economic collapse and a lot of corresponding anxiety and fear, you have a pretty good stew for revolt.”

I liked the spin that Obama put on the election of Brown--- It was Bush's fault.

That douche bag just can't keep his trap shut, he is his worst enemy.

I just about choked on the pizza I was eating when I heard him say that!

It's not just Massachusetts. American voters are fickle. The overwhelming majority of Americans now come from the various "instant gratification" generations, baby boomers, gen X, Y, and whatever. The voters heard Obama say we're going to fix the economy and either didn't hear or heard but ignored him saying that it's going to take a long time to do it. Neither patience nor tolerance is an American voter's virtue.

While I still think health care reform is essential to our national interest, at 1600 pages, I sure haven't read the damn thing; I doubt even KK has read it; and I haven't heard even one Senator or Representative say they've read it. They're all voting Party line IMO, and likely are dumber than I am as to the bill's contents. Democracy sucks. Except for all those alternatives that suck even worse.

Congratulations Senator Brown! May you rise to the occasion to which you've been elected, although I have my doubts and won't be holding my breath.

He is presidential looking.

next will be the hollywood marriage Brown/Palin.

not all is well....Beck no likey pretty boy:

Beck humorously, but harshly, slammed Scott Brown, Republican winner of the race for Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat in Massachusetts, for proclaiming on national television, during his victory speech, that his two daughters were "available."

Beck launched into a long rant about how Brown had just put his daughters up for grabs on a "meat market" and how shocked he was that anyone could say something like that on national television. Then came that moment that differentiates Beck on the radio from Beck on the TV: he started comparing Brown to Gary Condit.

I want a chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. This one could end with a dead intern. I'm just saying. It could end with a dead intern

I disagree SG

American voters are disappointed because the last two administrations seem to be disconnected with the public. This administration failed to realize that the most important issues to the public were jobs. Months were wasted on a health care bill that was extremely unpopular with the american people while jobs were being lost by the thousands. Small business owners were afraid to hire new employees with the coming threat of health care mandates, higher taxes, and there inability to borrow money. As of June 2009 the federal government had added nearly 200,000 jobs while the private sector had lost close to 7.3 mil. During the recession federal salaries grew at twice the rate of the private sector. All of this added up to the people of Massachusetts sending a message to our elected officials.

I have no idea "why" Mass. voted against the Dem's.....that's my contribution.

I also have no inclination to understand a Boston mind set, but I seriously doubt that a national mind set can be drawn from such a segment of the US population. (of course, I base that on the fact that not much of anything Mass. does impresses me)

I cringed when he said that..I think he caught a lot of heat from the family.

Beck is such a f'n goat...............and anyone who listens to him would lick the sweat off a donkey's balls.

obviously spoken by someone who has done a lot of both!

racist!!!

People want change, they wanted it before Obama made it a campaign slogan and they will continue to vote accordingly I believe.

I imagine if things continue to plod along as they have been, we will be seeing an upset in 2012 as well.

Doubt it. Especially if they run Palin. More likely if Obama can't right the ship the voters are going to give up on the entire process figuring our govt is beyond fixing. Maybe a billion man march on Washington will be the ticket.

I like that march on Washington idea. I think it ought to take place this year however. So many jackasses back there in DC we would need lots of prison buses to drive them all to the air force planes that will take them to Egypt for interrogation and imprisonment or firing squad.

I would be surprised if they ran with Palin (although not that surprised).

It would be an over the falls scenario for GOP.

I can't wait to see what kind of fun today's Supreme Court decision is gonna bring to the game. My guess is some serious fuccery.
