Congrats to Scott Brown.
Finally some sense was established and the majority democratic state of MA stood up for the citizens common interests, and it woke up the nation. I love it!

It's a drop in the bucket but let's see if he even tries to make an effort to reverse some of the weird gun laws in this state so we are running alongside most of the others.

I doubt it but at least a man can dream. Martha wasnt even worth the thought.....say the word gun around and her and I bet her cooter puckered right up.

Being a licensed gun owner those laws are important to me. However we got bigger fish to fry. The impact of this election stretches beyond the boundaries of MA.

Plus in some cases it's not what he would or wouldn't do, it's what she would and lots of people saw it that way.

Mass resident and Brown supporter here!

Scott Brown was just elected to the US Senate, he had a better chance of changing Mass gun laws as a state senator.

I'm not into politics but it was nice to see him win. I was really sick of seeing the bashing ads by Coakley.

Brown voter here too.

I agree with Don, those Coakley ads bashing Brown made me not like her even more.

Pretty much every US Senator and Congressman/woman is owned by corporations, I don't think Scott Brown will do anything to change that, nor would Martha Coakley have. Sad that government is no longer of, by and for the people.

While that is pretty much true it's a slap in the face to:

1.) Realize the person in office cant do sh*t
2.) Realize you cant even get the useless idiot you want elected

People know Brown wont get much done but at least he's in office. It's kind of like someone breaks into your house, steals all the expensive stuff but leaves the toliet paper so your not wiping your *** with your hand when you realize your screwed. A useless victory but a victory regardless.

Brown supporter here too, even did a little help campaigning and went to his rally in Worcester at Mechanics Hall. I think the best thing is that we are a Democratic State (historically speaking), the Kennedy family backed Coakley, and even Obama came to Mass to support Coakley and she STILL didnt win! Pretty pathetic and I think is even another sign of how much the public's approval rating of Obama has fallen. Coakley sat back and did next to nothing campaign wise other than approve slanderous ads towards Brown. She felt like after beign selected as the prime Democratic candidate for Mass that it was a forgone conclusion that she would win, regardless of whoms he was running against....wrong! Just like everyone pushed Obama and "Change" down our throats during the presidential election it is good to see that in light of how little has been corrected in our country to date people are willing to adjust their views and continue the theme of "Change" until we get it right. Hopefully this is a small step in the right direction.

Obama supported Corzine here too...a lot of good that did both of them. Nice to see the people finally coming to their senses.
