I can't believe this is being discussed. Holy sh$t, I don't think anyone thought he was any thing but a horrible "Republican".
Maybe they will come up with a vaccine soon for "Republican" because the whole nation seems to be coming down with it.

Now the president is claiming that Brown won because people were fed up with what's been going on for the past 8 years.....what th heck is he smoking?
The reason Brown (REPUBLICAN) won was because people were fed up with the REPUBLICAN president????

Then you have Duval Patrick comparing his run for governor to Brown's, saying that he was going "against the flow" and was a "longshot". He is full of crap! How could a Democrat, running in a Democratic state, backed by 85% of the senate be a longshot?

Talk about kissing major a$$ after a party defeat. I'm surprised that they haven't actually claimed that they were responsible for Scott Brown's win!

To coin a soon-to-be popular phrase: "Who's next?"

When the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for the state is not endorsed by the Police, I don't need to know anything else...

I think there were two reasons Brown won.......

One, The Obvious one, was that people are definitely fed up with whats going on in DC with the over the top spending and that people do realize the need for Balance.

and the other was because Coakley, being in a notoriously blue state, thought that this was going to be a Slam Dunk for her and didn't put forth any effort until her opponent started to gain Moe-Men-Tum.....and by then it was to late.
