Moderated by the hyper partisan David Gergen, the inspiring Scott Brown mopped the floor with repugnant democrat hack, Martha Coakley, his opponent for the Massachusetts senate seat once owned by Ted Kennedy Kopechne.
Exposing the astounding arrogance of the democrats, Gergen asked Brown and Coakley if they would stop the health care bill so beloved by Kennedy. Brown delivered a response that inflicted incalcuable damage to the democrat party in its current constitution:
“With all due respect,’ said Brown, ‘it’s not the Kennedy’s seat, and it’s not the Democrats’ seat, it is the people’s seat.’ You could hear the roars from South Boston to Cape Cod. Coakley looked dumbfounded. Here’s why: Brown’s words hit at the heart of the question that’s driving this special-election campaign: Will Massachusetts’ vote be based on its past or on its future?”

Is there anything better than the phrase “mopped the floor with”? Nothing encapsulates complete victory better.
Being a literalist in these matters I listened to the video - no roars. We may hope that these were uttered in spirit.
During the Christie/Corzine debate, there WERE roars, mostly for Christie, and it was a college setting. NJ voters are less decorous, of course.
MELTING! MELTING!
I was really stunned at Gergen. He didn’t even pretend to be an unbiased moderator. Any minute I expected him ask Coakley how it felt to be so cute and funny.
Uh, that would have been an amazing video camera if it had been able to pick up and record sounds from “South Boston to Cape Cod.” Perhaps the writer was expressing the reaction metaphorically.
I agree. “Repugnant democrat hack” isn’t bad either.
When your opponent is down and out it only makes sense to put him to good use as a mop to soak up his blood. Its just good manners.
Gergen went over to the dark side decades ago.
Here are four from today:
Coakley, Brown in bitter debate
Brown comes across as just an excitable boy
sdthe obuma machine is taking over the campaign for Oakley. by the time all of the homelessvote, including those that have addresses in the local cemetaries and the local ACORN chapter input, it will be a landslide for Oakley. They can always find more uncounted ballots when they need to.
I can clearly understand why the union guys told Scott Brown they would vote for him. Scott Brown, in the short time I have observed him, is really just what America needs right now, a man from the people, for the people and by the people of the USA!!! Scott, you already have our “outsider” state support both politically and financially. And.....now we pray for your victory in this most important special senate race on January 19th. God bless you and, may God in his blessed protection of these United States of America carry you to the United States Senate next week. Our prayers are with you, my friend and true patriot of freedom and individual liberty!!!! Godspeed, Scott Brown!!!
When Coakley arrived, in typical arrogant liberal style, she walked right by the guys holding her signs without a word of acknowledgement.”
Wow. No surprise. Brown was a class act in the debate. He exuded leadership. Also, unlike Coakley, Brown has that quality rarely seen in modern, hackneyed politics: he was real.
Oh yeah, spell check.
They can always find more uncounted ballots when they need to.
Such as finding “lost” ballots in lots of 100 (still with package wrappers) all marked for Coakley? That was one trick ACORN came up with to get the Frankenfraud in the Senate.
There were almost a dozen people holding signs out in the cold in my town for Scott last Saturday and they were VOLUNTEERS!!
I see Brown lawn signs everywhere, I have yet to see a single Coakley lawn sign, not one.
Yes, I know, but he still pretends to be a moderate Republican on CNN.
He was never on the light side, except perhaps in the loafers, to begin with. He’s probably Anderson Vanderbilt’s boyfriend. And what’s up with that hair? That hairstyle went out of style 50 years ago.
