Massachusetts is next door to Vermont (Motto: "You Will Be Assimilated"), so the area is not renowned for its patriotism, conservatism, or sanity. The fact that
Scott Brown is even in the running, says volumes about how well the Obama agenda is going down with the local electorate. Not well at all, one suspects.
Brown has been "flying under the radar," until recently -- hoping to avoid having the Democratic "big guns" aimed his way, until he had succeeded in forming a ground swell of popular support. Brown's low profile ended recently,
John McCain endorsed him.
McCain's endorsement can be seen as a big boost, or "the kiss of death," depending on one's point of view. McCain is seen by many conservatives as a RINO (Republican In Name Only) sellout, with ties to George Soros, and an anemic record regarding illegal immigration. So McCain is hardly the best person to be endorsed by, in conservative circles.
On the other hand, Sarah Palin "stands by her man," and supports McCain 100%. So an endorsement by McCain could be seen as a Palin endorsement, by proxy. At any rate, the
smart money says hat Palin will soon come out and endorse Brown, on her own.
Then again, as the website "Texas for Sarah Palin"
remarks, "In Massachusetts, one of the bluest of blue states, Brown may only want the endorsements of Republican Lites," and a direct endorsement by Palin may be seen as counter-productive. So a Palin endorsement is no sure thing.
Be that as it may, Brown has been running a savvy campaign -- similar to McDonnell's successful run for the Governorship of Virginia last fall. His conservative emphasis on creating jobs, and fiscal responsibility, has struck a chord with the public. One of Brown's
TV ads, combining his economic message with JFK's, is a brilliant gambit in this Kennedy fiefdom.
Even the largely liberal Massachusetts electorate, is starting to think that swapping America's freedom, for tyranny, isn't exactly the "change" they had in mind.
In reference to the Obama Administration's duplicitous force-feeding of Obama-Care to the country, CNN's
Jack Cafferty says "Here's hoping the voters remember some of this c--p, when the mid-term elections roll around later this year." When CNN is saying such things, then you know "the natives are getting restless."
The results of this election on January 19, will of course have national repercussions. Just a decent turnout for Brown, in this "bluest of blue states," would send a powerful message to the rest of the country. A Brown victory would be a cataclysmic political event.
The "Boston Herald"
reported recently that, "Energized opponents of the Democrats’ national health-care overhaul have catapulted GOP Senate hopeful Scott Brown within striking distance of Attorney General Martha Coakley, a leading pollster said yesterday."
The
article is referring to a poll by Rasmussen Reports, which shows Brown closing the gap between himself and the Democratic candidate, to nine points. That's a considerable improvement for Brown, who trailed Coakley by 31 points a mere two months ago.
It looks like it will be a race to the wire, but a Brown victory is not inconceivable. If you care about America's fate, then I would suggest that you look up Scott Brown's
website, and get involved, get inspired, and get as active as you can. There's a lot riding on this one.
As Chuck Raasch points out in "
USA Today," a Scott Brown win "could have an immediate impact on the Democrats' struggle to get health care reform legislation passed."
Raasch continues, "A GOP gain in Massachusetts would sink the Democrats in the Senate below the filibuster-resistant 60-40 majority they now hold, with the help of two independents, and leave any compromise between House and Senate versions of the health care bill vulnerable to being blocked by Senate Republicans."
Moreover, Brown's election will help to slow down and possibly stop, any further vile bills passing through Congress, until the cavalry arrives this coming November.
This may be the single most important election of 2010, and that, by God, ought to get your attention, and America's.
Laus Deo.
"She does not want to meet with me, one-on-one, because I personally believe she's afraid to show that her policies are so out of touch with the citizens of Massachusetts who are footing the bill for the out-of-control spending in Washington." -- Scott Brown criticizing opponent Martha Coakley (Dem-MA)
There's a real possibility that "The People's Collective of Massachusetts" might elect a conservative Republican to fill the late Senator Ted Kennedy's vacant Senate seat. Will wonders never cease.
