I like the title.
It’s it odd that we true-blue Americans are the “reds,” while the leftists (historically associated with blood-letting on a massive scale) are the “blues?”
holy crap..they’re calling it for Scott Brown?!
HOLY CRAP!!!
Sounds like they have to me, Nicolas.
Perhaps even the “liberals” in the legacy media are coming to be fed up with The Won.
Also, here’s hoping that the Dems totally ignore Bayh.
Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance!!!!!
6% in Massachusetts is like 15% anywhere else
For a Republican win that is…………..
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up here we have it the other way around. The Libs are Red, while the Tories are Blue
And the socialist New Democratic Party (which is toying the idea of removing the “New”) which is Orange (with a diarrhea green maple leaf on the logo to represent their enviromentalist roots)

I somehow KNEW Obama campaigning for Maahtha would be the kiss of death!!
Whooo! Hooo!
say it with me everybody, VICTORY!!!
I don’t normally watch Olberman, but I figured that I’d see him cry. I think he may.
Matthewes, Maddow and Olberman ACTUALLY think that Dems are losing because they not LIBERAL enough. Please Dems, listen to them!
Well, well, well, THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!
Bet the Dumbocrats are peeing in their pants right now. Let the whining, backbiting, and finger pointing commence!!
(Okay, folks, this is one victory – don’t let your guard down. ACORN and SEIU are going to go into hyperdrive, they aren’t going to slink away quietly…

I just heard that news and had to come here.
My liberal brother thought there would be a revolution when Bush was in. Now, finally, we’re having one! How sweet.
CoryDoo: “Matthewes, Maddow and Olberman ACTUALLY think that Dems are losing because they not LIBERAL enough. Please Dems, listen to them!”
Exactly. And yes, please do!
Igor: “Well, well, well, THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!”
Come now! You’re old enough and experienced enough to know that that applies *only* when the Dems get elected … and then it’s a “sweeping mandate,” no matter how close the results, and no matter how many “hanging chads” they had to massage to divinate the “correct” result.
Now I know they’re running scared. Just got home, and Mary told me that she received a phone call from the Democrat Party (again, she’s a blue dog). Apparently they say that poor Arlen is not doing so well here, and they wanted to send her a list of people to call.
She said they could send her the list, but she would probably tell them to vote for Toomey. They called her a piss poor democrat.
She told them she is a smart democrat. On that I agree.
HOORAY FOR SCOTT !!!!!!
1 down, 59 to go.
Get back to work.
I’m glad Brown won … but, I can’t help but consider that he’s a northeast Republican. He doesn’t seem to oppose the Dem agenda on principle and to its core, but only on the magins.
YES WE CAN!!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!
Congratulations, Scott! Make us proud!
Rosalie – the dems don’t have enough ass to start a revolution. They know we do all the heavy-lifting in this country. Hell, we’d have to start their revolution for them (plus, last I checked, the people on the right have a vast majority of the guns).
Evan Bayh….Funny how seeing his fellow party-line voters getting their rears handed to them has made old Evan see the light. I think things will be getting plenty tight for Evan because he’s up next in our senatorial elections. It may even be too late for him to pull his usual 5 years of voting the party line, and then “moderating” the last year as elections come around.
Congrats Senator Brown! I haven’t even been looking at the press about the Mass election because I didn’t want to get my hopes up.
When will the press start eulogizing the democrat party. This really is a center-right country.
Many years ago, a co-worker (whom I considered somewhat “liberal”) told me an excellent idea for improving the political climate in DC — allow the voters in *other* states to vote against the incumbents in any other state.
His top choice for elimination was Teddy “Watersports” Kennedy.
… though, perhaps such an idea should be limited to senators. How it would work is that a voter could cast his vote either for a candidate in his home state, or against a candidate in another state (and take the change of his favored candidate in his own state losing). Of course, there’d have to be some method of determing just how those against votes were to be counted.
And, of course, such a plan would greatly complicate elections; a state couldn’t verify the winner until the out-of-state against vote had been verified.
Then again, we could repeal the 17th amendment (popular election of US senators); that would itself improve DC.
Still, it’s a nice fantasy.
Bayh’s comments are amazing, he’s still riding on his daddy’s coat-tails. Since he has already voted on the wrong side on two of three major votes since Obama’s election, he’s already lost my vote.
He voted for the take over of health care and the stimulus nonsense. He did vote against the Omnibus package which was just as bad as the stimulus bill. Or something like that. Either way, voted against only one out of three, hardly a record worthy of proclaiming, hey, I’m a moderate!
Ilion, before the popular vote of Senators, each state party in power simply appointed them. Is that what you wish to go back to?
If so, we wouldn’t be talking about MA and Scott Brown tonight.
I understand that, Richmedia.
But, I am, after all, a conservative … and I share the Founders’ mistrust of “democracy.” Further, it is the Founders’ intention that the House of Representatives represent the people of the various states and that the Senate represent the States.
Moreover, other states with other dominant parties would have other senators.
In similar wise, and contrary to the Dems’ constant calls to abolish the Electoral College, the President is not intended to represent The People, but rather to be the Executive (CEO in today’s terms) of the Union of the States.
I think I’ve voted for only one Democrat in my entire life, and that was the first time I voted; after that one, I realized that I cannot vote for anyone in that party, even for the proverbial dog-catcher. I can’t remember if it was for Birch Bayh or for John Brademus, though I suspect it was Brademus.
Wow, I am REALLY shocked. No I really am. I would have expected to see the democrats use every trick in the book. “RECOUNT!!!!” “I was disenfranchised”etc. But she just conceded.
Wow.
@Ilion:
“But, I am, after all, a conservative … and I share the Founders’ mistrust of “democracy.” Further, it is the Founders’ intention that the House of Representatives represent the people of the various states and that the Senate represent the States. ”
To think that the Conservative Party here is attempting to get rid of our appointed Senate (senators are directly appointed by the Prime Minister, and remain for life until they reach 75 years of age)
The Senate would still exist, but we’re seeking an elected Senate to get rid of mass bill blocking by whoever happens to be reigning in the Senate
so back on topic:
CONGRATZ BROWN!
I’m anxious to see how this unfolds; after all, Brown is a politician – and he’s not really a Conservative. He seems decent and capable. Those two qualities are missing from the majority of politicians. Hoss: I agree with what you wrote. Most of the people in the media are liberals. For some strange reason they think they’re in the majority.
Fboiteau,
But Canada isn’t really a republic, is it? Much less a federal republic, as the US is constitutionally drawn up to be.
Moreover, even when US Senators were appointed (*) by the State governments, the term of office was still six years; there was no requirement that a senator be reappointed. And, as things have worked out, there was more turn-over in the Senate before popular election than after.
(*) Also, it should be noted that prior to the 17th amendment, the US Constitution did not forbid popular election of senators in any state which chose to do it that way; it simply didn’t require it. How to select its US senators was entirely up to the constitutional rules of each State.
RosalieB,
Yes, Brown is not really a conservative … and we conservative cannot afford to overlook the fact.
