The second shot heard round the world ...

The seat held by a Kennedy or Kennedy "associate" for nearly 6 decades has gone to a Republican. Now as Titus aptly pointed out, Brown is no "F.Ryan-Conservative." However, given the depth of government interventionism and the totality of the sweeping neo-socialist policies being proposed by the administration, he doesn't have to be. Even a "moderate" Republican, a middle of the roader, or just a clear thinking traditional Democrat would oppose Obama-Care. In fact they do - every poll I've seen is 2 to 1 against. And an AP poll released just yesterday has only 39% of Americans answering "yes" to the question: Would you reelect Barak Obama if the election were held today? That's a lot of "non-conservatives" joining us in opposition. And that was borne out tonight for that's precisely who swept Brown into office - Democrats and Independents. Democrats outnumber registered Republicans in MA 3 to 1. He doesn't win this without them - meaning the current unpopularity of the Obama, Reid, Pelosi agenda has gone bipartisan.

You will see the rats abandoning the sinking ship now. The law of self preservation is officially in effect. Obama has lost New Jersey, Virginia and now Massachusetts, the latter two he campaigned for personally. Obama-care, cap and trade, Copenhagen Treaties, new taxes, card check (not to mention the stimulus package and bailouts) - in the first year he went after them all at once ... and now will get none.

People get it - the answer to a recession isn't socialized medicine. My faith in the common sense of my fellow Americans, tested in 08', has been restored ... and just wait til' November (he said rubbing his hands and grinning like the Cheshire Cat).
