GOP’s Brown wins Mass. Senate seat in epic upset
The Associated Press has called the Massachusetts Senate Race for Scott Brown!
BOSTON – In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in a U.S. Senate election Tuesday that left President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul in doubt and marred the end of his first year in office.
The loss by the once-favored Coakley for the seat that the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy held for nearly half a century signaled big political problems for the president’s party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.
Various headlines:

In 2008, Ashland, Massachusetts went for Obama over McCain, 5,039 votes to 3,181. Tonight Brown won Ashland 54 percent to 45 percent – 3,467 for Brown while Coakley carried 2,897.

Coakley adviser memo: D.C. Dems ‘failed’ Coakley
Politico headline!
The adviser, who cited internal polling numbers to make the case, e-mails that, “There’s more to the story than that. If Martha is guilty of taking the race for granted, so is the White House and the DNC.”
Massachusetts Miracle! Yes!
Coakley Concedes!! Brown the Winner!! America the Winner!!
COAKLEY JUST CONCEDED BY TELEPHONE TO BROWN (Drudge Report Headline)
Obama is not the Messiah. He’s more like the hula hoop; a flash in the pan. He has been revealed to the American center as too far out on the left wing.

Massachusetts: Olbermann Cries Racism
from Newsbusters
Amidst the innumerable excuses we’re bound to hear for tonight’s Massachusetts election results, credit Keith Olbermann with likely the most loathsome. The Countdown host would explain things away by accusing Brown supporters of . . . racism. [H/t reader Will H.] Olbermann floated his despicable theory to Howard Fineman: “the Republicans and the Tea Partiers will tell you what happens with Scott Brown tonight whether he wins or comes close is a repudiation of Obama policies. And surely one of Obama’s policies from the viewpoint of his opponents is it’s OK to have this sea-change in American history

Rick I was surprised at that too “Racism?? How can be??”….. the only thing I can think of

The turtle has crawled back into the Oval Office – a place where he should clearly spend more time doing the work of THE PEOPLE!!==The 52% that voted correctly last night!! WE THE PEOPLE…..!!!!!
Oberlman likes to show everybody his Diploma from Cornell. Little does he note or point out, however, it was the School of Agriculture not THE University of Cornell. In other words he’s as educated as much as any Aggie can be…meaning dumb as a box of rocks.
