And on day 365 of the Obama presidency, no less. The Republicans now control the "Kennedy Seat."

Let me say that again: The Republicans now control the seat Ted Kennedy sat in for almost 50 years.

Pinch me I must be dreaming...

I'm just waiting for one of Obama's henchmen to step forward and announce he has "found" about 50,000 absentee ballots all cast for Coakley.

I'm waiting for some of the liberals on this board to show up...Did they get shipped off to Gitmo??? We haven't heard from any of them all day....I guess they are still waiting for their talking points/spin from the DNC.

Real World

I want to temper the understandable enthusium in here, by reminding people of the ***** slap the GOP received by voters, not too long ago. The notion that republicans are the answer, when they are themselves a big part of the problem, is misplaced I think. I like Brown a lot, cuz he seems to represent a more principled, independent, small government politician, but he's merely one person in a larger pool of powerful men and women.

I'm just glad that :

- The 60 is broken.
- The Dems have to learn a lesson in centrism from this.
- Ted is rolling in his grave in agony.

I was talking about this with my father-in-law. This is basically just a knee-jerk reaction to a knee-jerk reaction. It shows how fickle the voting public can be... but for this to happen in MA I think it's a little more significant.

Anyway, what interesting political times we live in.

Keep in mind that this isn't an epic defeat for ALL on the left. Many democrats voted for Brown too...so some of them must be victorious.

It has been held by a Kennedy for 57 years...the two years after John's election and Teddy's appointment was only warming it until Ted could Constitutionally take control of it.
