While early reports leaking out are unclear, as always in these unexpected situations, initial indications from the scene of the unfolding disaster give the impression of widespread damage across a broad area. And major aftershocks are expected for months to come.
Monitoring the situation from the White House, which he moved into just 360 days ago, Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama has decided to make a hands-on partisan commitment to the national relief effort in this man-caused disaster.
And he himself will fly to the scene of Massachusetts on Sunday to help Democrat state Atty. Gen. Martha Coakley in her failing struggle to hold the Bay state's U.S. Senate seat for the Democrats against a Republican state senator from central casting named Scott Brown.
If Brown wins, as The Ticket's poll coverage reported here earlier today, he would be the first member of Lincoln's party to hold the honorary Kennedy family Senate seat since 1952 when a Democratic president named Harry Truman, in national approval trouble in part because of an unpopular, lingering distant war, chose not to run for re-election.
"It's a Brown-out," said David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University's Research Center, a poll partner that found Brown leading Coakley 50-46 just four days before Tuesday's special election. "It's a massive change in the political landscape."
Brown's support seems fueled by a conservative groundswell that's spreading beyond Tea Party supporters in the homestate of the original Boston Tea Party and beyond -- fear of....
...rising deficits, proposed new taxes, massive spending increases, stubbornly high unemployment rates and laser-like presidential attention to an issue (healthcare) not high on their own agenda.(continued)

I wonder how many votes they have stashed away? They did not have enough reserve supply in New Jersey and I doubt they were prepared in Mass. How long does it take to set up a fraudulent return?
That is the most awesome headline ever.
O has the US armed forces and two past presidents dealing with Haiti, so he can do a little campaigning. Community organizing in its finest hour.
Obama’s ACORN/SEIU/Black Panthers/Muslim Brotherhood allies will be working overtime to ensure that the Rat win, regardless of what what the voters say.
Hilarious title. Amazing to see this editorial in the L.A. Slimes.
What is particularly telling are the reader comments in response to the Brown vs. Coakley articles in liberal newspapers (LAT, NYT, Boston Globe, ...) all over the country.
Readers are overwhelmingly supporting Brown and dissing the Dems. This is huge!
HERE IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING. BROWN MUST WIN! PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING LINK AND SEND IT TO EVERYOONE YOU KNOW, EXPECIALLY THOSE IN MASSACHUSETTS. IF THIS DOESN’T KNOVK YOUR SOXKS OFF, NOTHING WILL. NOW LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!

I still believe those two should have been arrested and removed from the polling area. Yet nothing happened to them.
and series set beeber to stune
Sorry, but I have advanced macular degeneeration, and it is easier for me to proof my writing if i put it in caps. i am not yelling. I am just gpomg blind.
I read on a site today that SEIU and ACORN people are being bused in also..
Practice what you preach! CHUMP
Wow, the Quake hasn't hit yet, and Zero is all over it like stink on ice. He's getting better every week. He was 3 days late on the Knicker Bomber. Right on time with the Haitian Quake disaster, and now 3 days early on the great Mass quake of 2010.
As the Bay state slides right, will it rub it's surrounding New England States the wrong way? Will the after shocks be felt in those states as well? Will the shift to the Right cause a void on the New York border also? Perhaps this is finally the change we've been hoping for...
That was the point.
"Very rude too..."
Yes look at what the tea parties has brought about! You all should be very proud of yourselves for makig the American people realize that they were not alone and still have a voice in what happens!We will flip both houses in 2010 and 2012 because Americans have had it! They work for us not the other way around.
ROFLMAO!
