The tea-party folks backing the 17th amendment repeal and Martha Coakley have something in common: they both want to overturn Scott Brown's election and let socialist government hacks put a Democrat crony in the seat for life, voice of the people be damned.

Who woulda thunk it? ;-)

Tell me why would the democrats in Massachusetts state legislator want Washington D.C. running their socialist health-care system, much less forcing a huge number of other mandates upon them.

There is one fact you need to accolade about politicians, they are greedy for power. and it is exactly that greed both democrat and republican that will make them resistant to giving up that power to anyone whether it be the people or in the cases of State politicians Washington D.C.

THAT is the function of the Senate. Its to keep power local.
1 Scott Brown in 60 years is hardly worth 9 Ted Kennedy’s.

And that one Mass. senator would be counteracted by the two VA senators who are now Dems with a Repub legislature and governor. I'll make that trade...
