Massachusetts Election

Voters in Massachusetts made a very loud and clear statement today when they elected Scott Brown, a moderate Republican, to fill the Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for nearly fifty years. Brown will be the first Republican Senator from Massachusetts since 1972. Brown's election makes him the 41st Republican in the Senate and breaks the 60-vote majority that the Democrats have held for the past few months. This could make a big difference in our nation because Brown campaigned on voting against Obamacare. This was a HUGE achievement. Many people are hoping that it will be enough to save our nation from the progressives who are trying to take it away from us. If nothing else, it is causing other Democrats to evaluate their position in politics. Even though Brown is a moderate, he ran on conservative principles. His win shows that conservative principles are what the people want. I hope that Brown sticks with the conservative principles that he campaigned on and doesn't move to the left!
