Mass. State Sen. Scott Brown wins special election to U.S. Senate Massachusetts state Sen. Scott Brown was elected to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, winning a special election over two opponents, the Associated Press projected. Brown — the first Republican senator from the Bay State in 31 years — will give the GOP 41 seats in the Senate, enhancing the party’s ability to demand changes in legislation. (NY Times) [The NY Times had referred to Coakley as an "advocate" but Brown was a "conservative who's 'lashing out.'"]
You may be asking, why is a U. S. Senate race in Massachusetts so important to me and you, here in Texas? The short answer is, the winner’s of Tuesday, January 19th’s election is replacing one of the most liberal Senators in Congress, the late Ted Kennedy. Kennedy was a big proponent of nationalized health care, enlarging the Patriot Act, the IRS, an unfettered Federal Reserve, bank bailouts, auto manufacturer bailouts and pretty much anything that HALC and any of our sister groups are fighting against!! Senator Kennedy’s replacement will be a critical “swing vote” and could be the key to keeping nationalized health care a figment of Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, and Obama’s overly vivid socialistic imaginations!!
