I'm sure everyone has heard that always democratic Massachusetts filled the late Edward Kennedys seat with a republican vote!! Little known republican Scott Brown won the major upset on Tuesday. I was born and raised in Boston and still can't believe the news. I guess it just another "Shame on you" President Obama. Americans, clearly do not want the trillion dollar health reform that is being forced on us. It hurts medicade, takes away jobs and would run our nation deeper into debt, like we need that..Its ironic that Edwards Kennedy's passion was health care until his death from brain cancer. I don't want to start a political free for all but I think Obama has done a less than adequate job so far and his response to this new development was almost comical. He said something to the effect of "Well, I've lost touch with the people and especially those of my party. Its because of all the crisises I've had to devote my time too....but I promise, I'll do a better job this year" Give me a break,,Hey, I voted for him and hope the disappointment dosen't continue on. What is your take on Massachusetts? Were you as surprised as me?

I was a bit surprised when I started hearing how far Coakley was falling behind, a week or so ago. I was not surprised the day of the election, because by then the writing was on the wall. I do not think Obama realizes how serious this is though.

No, I dont think he does.. He needs to wake up. It will be real interesting to see both how this new man does as well as Obamas yet to be seen performance!!
