The people of the Commonwealth have spoken!!
Scott Brown, a little-known Republican state senator, rode an old pickup truck and a growing sense of unease among independent voters to an extraordinary upset Tuesday night when he was elected to fill the Senate seat that was long held by Edward M. Kennedy in the overwhelmingly Democratic state of Massachusetts.
By a decisive margin, Mr. Brown defeated Martha Coakley, the state’s attorney general, who had been considered a prohibitive favorite to win just over a month ago after she easily won the Democratic primary.
With all precincts counted, Mr. Brown had 52 percent of the vote to Ms. Coakley’s 47 percent.
“Tonight the independent voice of Massachusetts has spoken,” Mr. Brown told his cheering supporters in a victory speech, standing in front of a backdrop that said “The People’s Seat.”

Next let’s hope that the MA voters hold Brown’s feet to the fire and once entering the DC environment doesn’t end up being just another RINO with no morals or common sense.

Seems like that usually happens rather quickly after the elections, doesn’t it??
We will soon see.

Let’s hope that the Republicans don’t take this as an endorsement of the GOP. Too many RINO’s. Perhaps they will wake up before the Dem’s do.

Well, we’ve sure seen that happen before!
We desperately need to get away from this 2 party system. The Dems & Repubs are one in the same. We need to shake it up a little.
