Change....

Holy cow - change, change and change in Massachusetts.....definitely says something about the mindset of the country at the moment....

Even though it was the "Ted Kennedy" seat, Scott Brown commenting that it belongs to the people (and not a political party or family dynasty) was brilliant campaigning - you can't reply to that without sounding like a jerk.

Is it me or did the "Change We Can Believe In" campaign backfire against it's political party?

Somebody had quite the field day writing this....

BOSTON - In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to win the U.S. Senate seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy for nearly half a century, leaving President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marring the end of his first year in office.

The loss by the once-favored Democrat Martha Coakley in the Democratic stronghold was a stunning embarrassment for the White House after Obama rushed to Boston on Sunday to try to save the foundering candidate. Her defeat signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.

"I have no interest in sugarcoating what happened in Massachusetts," said Sen. Robert Menendez, the head of the Senate Democrats' campaign committee. "There is a lot of anxiety in the country right now. Americans are understandably impatient."
