The balloons have popped, the confetti litters the floor and all the hoopla has died down. The state of Massachusetts has a new senator elect and he is not a democrat…for the first time in fifty years. Massachusetts is an  interesting state, they like to think of it as the birthplace of democracy, the beginnings of freedom in America; and in a way it was. The shot heard ‘round the world was fired at Lexington and Concord and the Boston tea party occurred in Boston Harbor to protest the English tax on tea.

 But Massachusetts is also known as one of the most liberal, if not the most liberal, states in the nation. It’s anyone’s guess if California or Oregon is more left wing. But for my purposes today, I will say it is the top left wing state in the nation.

 So why, when a relative unknown state senator, Scott Brown, defeats the democratic machine candidate by almost eight points, is it not an upset? Don’t get me wrong, Brown ran a masterful campaign, guided by of all people, John McCain. He did not take on Martha Coakley, he took on Obama and the entire democratic establishment. And it appears he beat them soundly.

 But he had help from an unexpected source. Obama, Reid and Emanuel. It began back in early December when Brown was trailing Coakley by thirty points, the senate healthcare bill was bogged down, KSM was being moved to NYC, and  thirty innocent people had been murdered by a deranged Muslim at Fort Hood, Tx. The unholy triumvirate decided to focus on healthcare. They knew they had the votes , they just had to  pay for them. Much was printed and said about how this bill would pass before Christmas even if it meant working around the clock to do it. And it almost worked until they were blackmailed by their own party.

 The Cornhusker Kickback, Louisiana Purchase and Gator-aid would raise their ugly heads and Reid eagerly agreed to screw millions of Americans so he could deliver the bill to Obama for his legacy and state of the union message. That was Christmas eve.

Then came the panty bomber on Christmas day and the polls in Massachusetts began to shift. The big three failed to notice, they were too focused on their own agenda. By the eighth of January, Brown had closed to within five points of Coakley and she cried for help. She could see the unthinkable happening but they were just starting to become aware. No one could lose Teddy Kennedy’s seat. It was a blue state, there was nothing to worry about. Can’t you just hear Dead Fish Emanuel whispering in the anointed one’s ear right now?

 The union buy out was next and Scott Brown kept hammering away at the Obama agenda. His issue was not only health care, it was defense, military tribunals and transparency. The three things that were, and are, totally ignored by Obama.

 Washington suddenly became cognizant that Massachusetts was in jeopardy. They sent John Kerry and the king himself, Obama, to rally the troops and support Coakley. But it was too little, too late. You could see the way Obama said farewell to Coakley after his non-inspiring speech in a half filled gym. She got an air kiss and a hug with absolutely no body contact. The look on her face said it all. She knew she was being dumped. If this were a baseball game, Obama would have struck out. All three candidates he endorsed and pushed for election over the past six months have gone down in flames. If you are a dem and seeking re-election, hope and pray you don’t need his help. But that’s a no brainer type question since any dem up for re-election will need  divine providence to have any chance of holding on to their seats. Unless of course you are Nancy Pelosi and you have an approval rating in the low thirties and your millionaire husband has bought and paid for every vote in your district.

 When the election was just a day away, the GOP became “cautiously optimistic” as Sean Hannity would say. But it was all but over. Brown ran as an independent and republican and secured over 75% of the independent vote. The GOP was out gunned three to one but enough dems crossed over and with the help of the GOP, Brown was a runaway winner. The voters repudiated Obama and his socialist bent.

 Election upset? Not at all. The dems have committed suicide. They are like lemming following Obama, Reid and Emanuel right into the ocean of political death.
