In epic upset, GOP’s Brown wins Mass. Senate race

Who’d have thunk it! That a Republican would get elected to replace Donk uber-Liberal Teddy “The Swimmer” Kennedy!

In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to win the U.S. Senate seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy for nearly half a century, leaving President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul in doubt and marring the end of his first year in office.

Addressing an exuberant victory celebration Tuesday night, Brown declared he was “ready to go to Washington without delay” as the crowd chanted, “Seat him now.” Democrats indicated they would, deflating a budding controversy over whether they would try to block Brown long enough to complete congressional passage of the health care plan he has promised to oppose.

Even better, this occurred in spite of Baraq Hussein’s air drop mission to try to stem the tide, with no more success than the early Brit ruler Knut did.

The loss by the once-favored Democrat Martha Coakley in the Democratic stronghold was a stunning embarrassment for the White House after Obama rushed to Boston on Sunday to try to save the foundering candidate. Her defeat on Tuesday signaled big political problems for the president’s party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.

So much for the 60 vote supermajority of Dingy Harry.

Heh heh heh.

Meanwhile, not all Donks have deficient situational awareness:

Bayh Warns “Catastrophe” If Dems Ignore Massachusetts Senate Race Lessons

“There’s going to be a tendency on the part of our people to be in denial about all this,” Bayh told ABC News, but “if you lose Massachusetts and that’s not a wake-up call, there’s no hope of waking up.”

What is the lesson of Massachusetts – where Democrats face the prospects of losing a Senate seat they’ve held since 1952? For Senator Bayh the lesson is that the party pushed an agenda that is too far to the left, alienating moderate and independent voters.

“It’s why moderates and independents even in a state as Democratic as Massachusetts just aren’t buying our message,” he said. “They just don’t believe the answers we are currently proposing are solving their problems. That’s something that has to be corrected.”

One doubts whether the neo-Socialist claque in the administration and current Cong leadership is (pun alert!) constitutionally capable of making the changes. So much the worse for them…the Chief will TRY diligently to avoid schadenfreude about the probable result.
