Landslide victory for Scott Brown.
Keep praying, but his victory will be over the margin of fraud.

Pat Caddell is the last honest democrat.
I really believe that he voted for McCain/Palin.
I’ll go to my grave believing that.

And the DNC/Obama pacs have plenty of moneymen and attorneys with power and resources:

*******

Lobbyist bundlers

The following, according to Public Citizen/
WhiteHouseForSale,[14] have been identified by the Obama campaign as bundlers who are also lobbyists who contributed to Obama for America.

###

Frank M. Clark[15] is chairman and chief executive officer of Commonwealth Edison (ComEd), a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation. As an Obama bundler, Clark raised $200,000+. FEC records show that on January 26, 2007, he personally contributed $2,000.[16]

.

Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank wrote July 4, 2007, in the Dissident Voice.[17]

“Barack, for the second quarter in a row, has surpassed the fundraising prowess of Hillary Clinton. To be sure small online donations have propelled the young senator to the top, but so too have his connections to big industry.

.

The Obama campaign, as of late March 2007, has accepted $159,800 from executives and employees of Exelon, the nation’s largest nuclear power plant operator.

“The Illinois-based company also helped Obama’s 2004 senatorial campaign.

As Ken Silverstein reported in the November 2006 issue of Harper’s, ‘[Exelon] is Obama’s fourth largest patron, having donated a total of $74,350 to his campaigns.

During debate on the 2005 energy bill, Obama helped to vote down an amendment that would have killed vast loan guarantees for power-plant operators to develop new energy projects; the public will not only pay millions of dollars in loan costs but will risk losing billions of dollars if the companies default.’”

See Greg Sargent’s January 17, 2008, TPMElection Central “Hillary And Obama Duke It Out Over Hillary’s Yucca Mountain Ad.”[18]

I have no doubt that if Brown wins, these thugs will do everything in their power to throw up roadblocks to prevent Brown taking the seat.

These people do not care about our representative, republic process working.

They only care about power so that they can ram their socialist agenda down our throats.

This election just may be the straw that breaks the camel's back if the thugs try to steal it as they did the one in Minnesota.

I have no doubt you’re correct.

As the hours pass and more poll results are posted it seems Brown’s lead is increasing.

There will be quite a celebration if his margin of victory exceeds that which can be reasonably contested.

I know it’s a longshot but that would sure send a lot of Dems a strong message. LOL!

According to what I’ve read, as soon as the winner is declared, he is the Senator. There is no wait for the state to certify the results. It is immediate.
