Not in January. In November.This MIGHT be as shocking as many want to make it if Kennedy himself lost the seat to a Republican. Does anyone think that would have happened? Anyone?
If Kennedy were still alive and holding the seat, we wouldn't have had the election you silly person.
Hmmmm....To be honest, I'm kinda glad that seat can now be extricated from the idea of being a "kennedy" seat. I'm not a big fan of heritage politics. It's the reason I was against Caroline being GIVEN Hillary's seat. There were too many cracks in the cornerstone of camelot anyway.
Martha was a shitty candidate. End of story. She was a poor substitute for what amounted to a mascot of mass politics. I'd bet money, marbles and chalk that his tenure will be short lived or that he will not tow too many right wing lines given the will of his state.

Is that seat up for grabs again in November? Or does he get the full six years?
Was this election to determine who would carry the rest of Teddy's term?
His re-election will be in a November General, not a January Special though. So I am wondering now what the term will be.Hmmmm....To be honest, I'm kinda glad that seat can now be extricated from the idea of being a "kennedy" seat. I'm not a big fan of heritage politics.

I'd hope that he gets his full term. He won it so let him play with the toy.
It is very entertaining to observe.
I disagree. I have not seen the "official" results, but early estimates stated that Brown was victroious due to the Indepedent vote. This same Indepdent vote put Barack Obama into the White House. IF the early estimates are true, this COULD be a sign of things to come for the Democratic party, no?
They seem to think that you can fix everything overnight
Thank you.Brown's seat is up for grabs again in 2012.
i.e. he gets the rest of Teddy's term
I think Reid and Obama need to be careful how much they try to strong arm the moderate democrats. Otherwise, they won't pass anything.
Conservatives should be careful reading too much into this though. Reports I was hearing on the way in this morning makes it sound like it was independents that handed Brown the win. Again, if you think there's an army of Conservative voters in Massachusets, you're just not dealing with reality.Brown campaigned on a clear conservative message
1) Across the board tax cuts
2) Strong national security. Not giving rights to foreign terrorists.
Brown's message was solid conservative. And he won- solidly. In MA of all places.
He knows he's already dead meat politically. So, falling on the sword is honorable.I think Reid and Obama need to be careful how much they try to strong arm the moderate democrats. Otherwise, they won't pass anything.
The question for Reid especially is this: Is it worth commiting political suicide to pass a crappy health care bill no one likes?

It was a historically significant victory which overturned a traditionally Democatic seat.
Does it signal a 2010 rout by the republicans? Perhaps not, but it was a wakeup call for the Dems

I am glad you finally realised what is happening.
Democrat politicians ignored the anger they witnessed at the town halls across this country--they ignored the losse's in New Jersey & Pennsylvania--& went right back to health care.
Americans are pushing back. And when Americans push back--you either get out of the way or get run over.
Mass. the original tea partiers fired a shot yesterday that was heard all the way in Washington D.C.---November 2010 is going to be very ugly for any democrat up for re-election.

Time will tell. it mostly depends on how the economy does in the next year or so.
Americans have a VERY short memory. And seem to love being programmed.
