Scott Brown(R) wins Massachusetts' senate seat.
“I never thought I’d see the day when a Republican replaces Ted Kennedy,” Mayor Thomas M. Menino told the Herald last night. “I think Scott Brown caught the wave of anger that’s out there, and the wave of anti-Obama.”This guy was a virtual unknown two weeks ago. Except for that 15 minutes in 1982 when he posed semi-nude in Cosmo. Don't look, Martha!
A Rasmussen Reports poll found one in five Democrats supported Brown, who benefited from high suburban turnout to beat Coakley by 52 to 47 percent."
And did you watch Brown's victory speech last night? He sounded an awful lot like a man running for president (not that an obscure junior senator with little management experience would ever have a chance).
Democracy now, indeed. Viva La Revolution!
