One Down, A Few More To Go

I have to admit that I never thought I would need to thank the voters of Massachusetts for anything. After all, they gave us the Kennedys, John Kerry, and Barney Frank just to name a few. But yesterday they seemed to come to their senses - at least for now - and elected Republican Scott Brown to the Senate seat that was held for over 40 years by Ted Kennedy. I don't know much about Brown, and he could be another RINO (Republican in name only) which is the last thing the party...or the country needs. But I do know he has promised to vote against Obamacare, giving the Republicans the 41 votes they need to block it and that's good enough for now.
The news coverage has been interesting. Brown beat his Dem. rival 52% to 47%, the exact same margin that Obama beat McCain by. Of course in the case of Obama it was a "clear message that the country had abandoned the Republican party" according to the state run media. But for some reason Brown's landslide victory in true-blue Massachusetts, the land of the Kennedys, is being reported as an "isolated incident" and "not really a rejection of Obama's policies" according to the same media outlets. It's really pretty amusing. I say let them remain delusional. Let them keep doing what they're doing. It will be a bloodbath for them next November, and the Republicans could win back both houses of Congress, rendering Obama impotent for the rest of his first and hopefully only term.
And while the media may still be in love with their Messiah, it seems that some of his highest profile supporters are jumping off the bus. Jim Cramer and Warren Buffett have both attacked Obama's spending and tax policies in the last 2 days. Seems they have finally learned the lesson that bank and auto executives learned last year, which is - Beware of false Prophets seeking to tax your profits! Even a few Dem. politicians including Jim Webb of Virginia have begun to distance themselves from The One.
I can't really predict what will happen next November, ten months is a long time and things can change. But based on what I saw last night, including members of the state run media having meltdowns on the air, I'm guessing the liberals in DC and in the media will be providing quite a bit of entertainment. At least they're good for a laugh now and then, and November could be a lot of fun.
