Massachusetts Senate Race

[70Chip]

The Democrats could still steal this. There are over 100,000 dead people still registered and over 500,000 who no longer reside in Mass. The Democrats could very well steal it.

Either way. this health care nonsense is the rope we will use to hang the Liberals. If Pelosi gets her way; if cooler heads don't prevail; if some moderate or group of moderates doesn't pull the plug on the current legislation; then we Republicans will festoon our bed chambers with Left Wing guts, figuratively speaking.

Help yourself to some decent meat. Great Gangs of New York reference.

If you ain't cheating you ain't trying...just ask your boy Romney who no longer lives in MA but uses his son's address to maintain his MA residency.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

The Dems had better pull their heads out of their asses though. Seriously. One thing I'm starting to see, and hopefully they're starting to see, is that Obama's appeal hasn't been transferable. You know, people aren't exactly voting against him, but his popularity isn't moving the needle either. Voters aren't enthusiastic because Obama came to town. His presidency is unique in that it's all about him and not really affecting national elections one way or another. As we move into the mid-terms I really hope these guys can see that.

Besides, I might have to quit coming to Warpath if we keep dropping like flies

They thought it was a shoe in because Mass is 3 to 1 dems and Obama carried the state with a strong 26% more voters. If the Rep win the election or even comme close I think it direct reflection on Obama and what they now think of his agenda. The voters in Mass know they are the only one's stopping health care reform and that a big issue because they know what happens when goverment takes over health care. If you don't like the special election you need to be mad at the Dems as they changed the process to insure they would keep the seat but now it looks like it might backfire on them.

How can you guys think about politics at a time like this? Our coaching staff hasn't even been filled yet!

I suppose it's a shame that Brown won by a couple Thousand more votes than just 1. If it were one, the Democrats could sue Romney and get the election overturned.

[hooskins]

congrats repubs. This really shows that the economy, can get someone elected and oust those in power. I am referring to both parties here too.

Great great stuff tonight. Well done Senator Brown. Sayonara 60-40. Can't wait for mid-terms in Nov...

I actually think this a good thing for the Democrats. All isn't lost for the Democrats and certainly not for Obama's agenda. This is definitely a set back, but not the end. Truth is, they never really had a super majority as witnessed by the struggle with passing healthcare. Now they'll man up and stop chasing that elusive number 60 and get down to business.

The balance is good for the country and the party, actually.

Losing MA is inexcusable...it's pathetic to see all these Dems point fingers. Man the f'ck up, take your licking and stop whining. I mean, they're acting like they lost congress and there is no hope. I say bring out the iron club and start whacking people in the face if they act a fool and if the GOP decide to fillabuster everything threaten with everything imaginable including doing away with the fillabuster. It's a game of chess not checkers and you still have a huge advantage.

Enjoy this win boys, see you in Nov.

The GOP won't sink to the lows that the Dems used against President Bush to try to block EVERYTHING.

Also, changing the Senate/House rules to get your way won't go ignored by the voters.

Just face it, 2/3 of Americans do not want this bad bill. Stop trying to force it on us against our will.

Changing the rules mid way is what lead to this election and if they had left things alone in the first place their Dem. chould have appointed someone to replace TK. This is called a major back fire right in their face. I don't think they have the votes to do away with the fillabuster rule.

Really, they had control to pass the bill it was fighting within the party that made passing the bill so tough. The Rep. had nothing to do with dragging this out and did not have the votes to stop the bill.
