I see your point & I believe that you're right. But please don't forget that there were fellow FReepers (a-hem) who waned you before his election that he was a liberal in the grass (I refuse to say "snake", 'cuz I love snakes! LOL). I was hated on before the elections 'cuz I told you this would happen!
Which do you want, Brown in that Senate seat or to continue it as a Ted Kennedy vote?
Brown was a huge coup for conservatism, not because he is conservative, but because he is a solid moderate to right Senator that is filling up a space that by all rules of the universe should be a 100% radically left vote.
I am still amazed at our good fortune with this Senate seat.
There are some seats that we know are not in the running, to have stolen this one from under their noses is a huge gain, if we can keep it in 2010, then we get six more years of an extraordinarily valuable asset.
The democrats are going to spend a fortune trying to beat this guy, which will help us take another Senate seat from them somewhere else.
