Even the dimmest among you should know that Ted Kennedy was the senior Senator from Massachusetts for the last 168 years prior to his death last year. Since then, a temporary political hack has held his seat. There is a special election Tuesday, Jan 19 to fill the seat. A Democrat woman name Martha Coakley is running against the Republican Scott Brown.
Now, under normal circumstances, a Republican would have had zero chance of winning. Massachusetts is the bluest of blue states. In point of fact, 6 weeks ago, Brown was trailing by 30 points.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the ballot box. Scott Brown's campaign caught fire. The most recent poll had him up by 4 points. The focus is on the pending health care destruction bill. It is broadly unpopular - even in the Socialist Republic of Tax-echusetts.
It is broadly expected that a win by Brown would stop the so-called health care reform bill in it's tracks. One could not write a better ending. Because, one needs to remember, Socialist Health Care was Kennedy's life's work. How wonderfully delicious - kill this bill by taking the 'Kennedy' seat.
Now, do I believe this will actually happen? Sadly, no. I believe the Dems will use every trick in the book to swipe the election - just like they did to elect that idiot Al Franken in Minn. Between the political machine, the corrupt actions of the unions (SEIU is in this BIG), and, if needed, the courts - the Dems will not let this happen to the 'Kennedy' seat.
But, even if Coakley escapes - this should serve as a warning shot to every Dem in the country. If the 'Kennedy' seat is not safe - neither is yours. If you continue down this path - you better get a reservation for a moving van now - because they will be hard to come by after November when we send you packing back to your home state.
