Scott Brown Wins in Mass

Looks like my man, Pat Buchanan called it correctly on Sunday:  "Brown wins, the Revolution is on."

The Other McCain is live blogging from Scott Brown HQ and is reporting that he not only won, but the crowd is chanting "Kerry is Next"...that should make Kerry and Pelosi both pop their Botox.

My thoughts on Brown:

I was initially ticked to see conservatives back a pro-abortion RINO...but pro-lifers backed him because of his support for the conscience clause and his opposition to Obamacare, so I eased up.  In any case, it's just too much fun enjoying the psychological body slam the Obots just received.  Of course, we can expect the MSM to try and spin this, but there is no question that this is an epic blow to the Obama regime.  Particularly since Brown ran against the healthcare bill--the centerpiece of Obama's domestic agenda. Massachusetts is bluest of blue states...losing the Kennedy seat had to hurt bad...and it is going to leave a mark.  That said, I don't want to see him turned into the next great GOP hope.  Let's hope he stays Independent and that he repudiates his pro-abortion stance.

PS...It appears that Martha has hired Al Franken's fixer...you know, the one that kept finding ballots in cars after the election...so far Brown has a 100,000 vote lead, let's hope he keeps it through subsequent recounts.

It IS entertaining to hear the libs wailing and gnashing their teeth!

Speaking of Pat Buchanan, his latest post argues the Republicans must embrace the policies of Ron Paul if it's to be successful again. Interesting argument.

Obama finally admitted that the same wave of anger that swept him into office also swept Brown into office.

True enough, except for the spin: The independent libertarian vote didn't vote for Obama, rather it didn't vote at all for either candidate and Obama was the dregs. Just sayin'.

Old Rebel, the GOP could have 2 winning issues, Immigration Moratorium, and Ending Affirmative Action, but I wouldn't count on those idiots to embrace either any time soon. They aren't the stupid party for nothing.

Ran, I think the wave of anger is coming from people being sick of big government. Obama capitalized on that simply by virtue of NOT being the other guy. In typical cutting your nose off to spite your face behavior, lefty voters failed to realize that they were voting for the same or worse. You're right though...about the people who stayed home/didn't vote for either. I'm in the didn't vote for either category; I voted for Chuck Baldwin. :)
