Republican Hero of the Day - "It's The People's Seat"

Republican Scott Brown is running to fill the Senate seat left vacant by Ted Kennedy's passing. Conventional wisdom would say that he has no chance of winning in Mass - a liberal, Democrat state since the world was created .... However, the race between him and his Democrat opponent Martha Coakley is much closer than anyone expected.

The race is being cast as a referendum on Obamacare. It's much more than that to the people of that state, I'm sure, but that is the biggest ramification for the rest of us. If Mr. Brown wins, it breaks the Democrat's 60 vote super-majority in the Senate.

During a debate between the two, Mr. Brown reminded the obviously liberally biased moderator and his opponent that it is actually the people who own the Senate seat he is running for. Absolutely stunning bitch slap he delivers.

I don't think that Mr. Brown will win. Obama and all of his subjects are flocking to the state to rescue what they think is their Senate seat. However, his strong showing in a race that he shouldn't have even appeared on the radar screen should hearten Republicans across the country, and scare the pants of Democrats preparing for the 2010 mid-term elections.



Update - As of yesterday, Jan.14, Brown has pulled ahead of Coakley in the latest polling. This incredible change has been in spite of (or maybe because of) Obama and other Dems making an all out push on behalf of Oakley. Obama has made a TV commercial that bluntly states the future of Obamacare rests with the election of Coakley - that was stupid, and could very well hand the election to Brown.

The poll numbers are still within the range of error - but this is an incredible development - a Republican actually leading the race to fill a Senate seat that has had a Kennedy in it since 1963, in a state that is as far left liberal as they come.

Update II - The polls are scaring the Democrats to death. Obama is going to Mass. on Monday to campaign for Oakley. Barney Frank has publicly stated that if 'Ted Kennedy's' seat is lost, Obamacare is dead. Get ready for an all out assault by Democrats, who until a couple of days ago thought this election was in the bag. Expect to hear of rampant voter fraud, and dirty tricks by the mainstream liberal Boston press. Don't be surprised by some 'bombshell' going off Sunday or Monday, published by The Boston Globe, exposing something about Brown that ends up being false, but not proven until after the Tuesday election (a proven Democrat tactic).
