here in Mass, a sad state, there is a great opportunity to elect a replublican to Ted Kennedys old seat. Any play on this nationally?

Yes, he is in the news on the web, TV. An attractive candidate and he would be a protest against healthcare and spending. But that district will be a tough one to win. Good luck to him.

of course it is all a racket. they force people to have health care or pay a fine. but of course the fine is a pittance and much less expensive than carrying health care, also the fine is a tax penalty, so those illegals or low income don't file anyways. the real kicker is that once established then small business and public workers for towns and cities get forced into buying the lousy health care to pass on to their employees because it saves the small businesses and towns money, but really hurts the average working joe. lets face it, government is all the things you mentioned in the above post and especially so in mass, ny, cal etc. there is a chance to make a statement here now with this special election and I am praying people are up for it. it seems to me we may be in a reverse situation that benefitted obama 11 months ago.
Bleep you, & bleep the establishment, and bleep all of you who are trying to make me part of the unestablished establishment.

I hope Brown wins. That would be the best thing (opportunity) until this November. What a waste and tangle of crime Mass Health is. People (politicians) Dems, Reps, all should study that and kill the National scheme to rob and deny decent care to folks. This road to hell didn't ever have any honest good intentions, just a chance to rob and control the people. Dems? Ha they are Statiests. At a point government becomes a malignant handicap to business and the pursuit of happiness. I know vampire films are hot and that is what these out of touch congressscum have become. They'll take enough blood to kill the country. So, the U S Constitution allows the Govt. to compell a citizen to buy insurance? or get fined or go to jail ? Huh , i never knew that.

I hear ya, the cost of the health in mass is 10 times what they "projected" ie lied to the public so they could ram it through. this state just increased the sales tax 25%, the gas tax, refused to lower the tolls, increased cigarette and liquor taxes for the umpteenth time, raised hotel taxes and revenues fell, cutting local aid to towns. disgusting. don't get me going because I become ugly and they shouldn't have that satisfaction.

The worm is turning. I had anticipated this result IF Obama's White House days floundered.
- JANUARY 15, 2010, 8:02 P.M. ET
Republican Taps Into Voter Unease In a state where only five of the 39 senators are Republican, Scott Brown is used to being an underdog. Now the 50-year-old state senator and lieutenant colonel in the Army National Guard is threatening to roil the national political waters in a race for the seat of one of the most liberal U.S. senators in recent history, the late Edward Kennedy. If Mr. Brown wins, he would be the first Republican senator from Massachusetts since Edward Brooke left office in 1979. Mr. Brown, who began his career as a lawyer, hopes the difficulties he experienced growing up—which included a time on welfare with his mother—will resonate with voters facing economic difficulties. "It wasn't a typical upbringing," Mr. Brown said. "We did the best we could to get through. It is what it is." Mr. Brown lives in Wrentham, with his wife, a television reporter for a Boston station. Ed Goddard, a selectman in the town where Mr. Brown began his political career as the town assessor, says the GOP candidate can sometimes be spotted jogging through the neighborhood. Associated Press Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown campaigns Friday for the late Edward Kennedy's U.S. Senate seat in front of a statue of Paul Revere in Boston. "He's accessible and earnest and easy to work with," said Mr. Goddard, who recently joined the Republican ParDemocrats say Mr. Brown is unfairly trying to present himself as an anti-establishment candidate. David Axelrod, a senior White House adviser, said Mr. Brown had "done a good job of portraying [Democratic opponent Martha Coakley] as a quasi-incumbent." But in reality, he said, Mr. Brown "stands with the big banks and the insurance companies." Mr. Brown attended Tufts University and then law school at Boston College. While a law student, he posed nude for a magazine centerfold in a sexiest-man contest. For 30 years, he has been in the National Guard, where he is in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. Mr. Brown's legislative focus has ranged from crime-victims rights issues to veterans affairs. Sen. Brian A. Joyce, a Democrat who sits on two committees with the Republican, supports Ms. Coakley, the state's attorney general, and thinks she would make the better senator. He calls Mr. Brown a "good guy," about whom he has nothing negative to say. "He is not a rigid ideologue at all." Mr. Brown is calling for tax and spending cuts in Washington. He says the Obama administration's stimulus plan hasn't worked, and he wants Congress to start over on health legislation, vowing he will be the "41st vote" in the Senate against the bill. Mr. Brown said he got into the Senate race because he was "pretty concerned about what was happening in Washington." Moreover, he added: "I enjoy competition."

One can only hope for this 11th hour miracle if the people of Massachusetts are into change. I can get behind both the change and the hope on this one and will be watching closely. Susan

I voted Brown absentee ballot, as the family and myself are skiing. there were people holding Brown signs in North Conway NH yelling to all the tourists from Mass in support - amazing. saw the big rally Martha had on TV for a few minutes before she made me sick and I am on vacation, so that wouldn't do, I shut it off. also saw one of those shows like meet the nation or whatever and there were 3 reps and 3 dems arguing and one of the dems kept saying coaxly instead of coakly repeatedly. LOL. what a joke. can only wait and hope Brown didn't show his hand too early or ACORN didn't import thousands of who knows what to stack the deck. It would be nice to see true diversity (a republican senator in Mass) and true hope (someone who is at least listening to the common man) happen. new raymond - figured you were "older" me too, older than scott brown. this sight seems to be more left leaning.
Bleep you, & bleep the establishment, and bleep all of you who are trying to make me part of the unestablished establishment.

25% of the votes counted. Brown = 52% Coakley = 47% It's been like this pretty consistently tonight. Susan

Mass senator a republican? Strange. So now I'm wondering if this is a referndum on Obama and Dems or did she just run a horrible campaign? If the former then reps need to be careful not to read too much into the win

YES I hope Barbara Boxer has noticed by poll anyway that she is in trouble too. When I knew Barbara she was , light, fun, no big DC Ego. I partied with the Marin dem structure. Including Community Action Marin, at the Lloyd Wright County Center, and then the social gatherings. I had one girlfriend who was a card carrying communist! When I first returned to Marin, a couple years ago, i consideraed getting back in the Dem structure here. But , my heart just won't buy it. I am completely alienated with everything the Dems do. I have actually crossed off that whole green,stateist dem scene. Ironicly, I had started the recycling program in Marin in 1979. i managed the CETA kids weathize homes in Marin , again around 1980 still Jimmy carter as pres.. Aren't those programs being pulled out again as new green, eco job entitlements? Now, I think it is wrong to write off the folks i once worked with- to automaticaly avoid these dems , who are basicly good folks -just going down the wrong rabbithole. i'm gonna call up an old friend from that period. He did my divorce/custody case --he did well and the situation was settled for a nominal fee. Hey, maybe he has changed his politics too?? Think possitively. And a well connected lawyer is a good thing to have. You never know what can happen. Perhaps some "what ever happened with so and so ?" But you won't see me at Boxer's office volunteering. In fact i may protest that office ! Life is funny, the changes, the personalities, the twists and turns. So good that Scott won that seat.

yeah i know....here in the middle of the US, it's really hard to judge people's moods right now. There's a bit of buyer's remorse, but then again, most of the people I'm around weren't real sure anyway when they voted for Obama/McCain. Does look like the indies are jumping the Democratic ship in the polls though.
