This is a big day for America. The election in Massachusetts to fill the Senate seat occupied by the Swimmer is up for grabs.
It looks to be a close election, and that fact alone should scare the living shit out of the Dimocrats and the Obama White House. Instead of a wake-up call that they are pressing a direction the good people of America do not care to go, they will see it as a reason to hurry up and pass their agenda.
A victory by Scott Brown will change the balance of Obama's term.
Far from being dead and buried, the Conservative movement is gaining strength. The GOP will be brought along, the country club Republicans kicking and screaming. Facts are hard to swallow sometimes, and the "lets-move-to-the-middle-Democrats-light" crowd brought us nothing but Pelosi and Reid and Obama. That leftist triumvirate will prove that the laws of thermodynamics apply to politics as well. They will usher in an equal and opposite lurch to the right. Just as Carter brought on Reagan, Obama will usher in a long-lasting period of Conservative politics.
The idea of America was born in Massachusetts, perhaps the citizens of the Bay State are finding again the anti-government spirit that lead to the founding of this great nation.
We can only hope.

If Brown wins, I'm personally gonna ship a case of Kleenex to Erin, so she can cry.

Yep, send her a case the liberal ship of state is taking on water fast and the coast guard is on break.

Brown is looking like he's going to win. However, (as you'd expect) he's a pretty liberal republican. It looks like independents (52% of voters) are going big for him here in Massachusetts, so the big question is whether the GOP can walk back from the cliff and pick up the independent vote later this year.
Right now, there's a huge "you all suck and we hate you all" feeling. The Tea Parties capture this feeling, as does the Scott Brown (likely) win.
Whoever captures this captures Washington DC. But you're right - there are gonna be a bunch of Sad Pandas tonight.
I "hope" for some kind of "change" out of this, but am not holding my breath, as too much hangs on what happens if Mr. Brown goes to Washington and falls in love with the "city of favors".
It's brown coat day, folks.
Game On!!!
