| Brown wins Massachusetts Senate seat |
| 2010-01-19 |
| BOSTON – Republican Scott Brown has won the Massachusetts Senate seat held for nearly a half-century by Democrat Edward Kennedy. Brown's victory in the special election gives Senate Republicans the 41st vote they need to block legislation favored by majority Democrats and President Barack Obama. |

| #36 I believe Brown is the first Republican Senator to be elected in MA since 1972. That in itself is nothing short of extraordinary. |

| #21 It reminds me of Fort Ticonderoga: Brits being taken by Ethan Allan and his band of Vermont men who came in the dead of night and got a surrender from the British General who was found still in bed in his jammies as they stormed the Fort. |

| #17 Marcia's giving her concession speech. Thanks everybody for working hard. Too bad for them that she didn't. From now on, she'll be about as popular with Dems as Ceausescu is with Romanians. |

| #15 The seething dismay, disappointment, and disillusion amongst my liberal friends and associates on facebook is nothing short of extraordinary. It's enough to make you think that Bush was just reelected. *chuckles* |

| #14 Legally speaking, per MASS Law, as of 12:01 20 JAN 2010 Mass has NO Senator, only a Senator Elect, who is qualified and the election is complete (the two ending pre requisites for appointed senators). The Mass legislature Dems and Gov rammed through that "replace Kennedy with a Puppet" law so fast that they didn't leave themselves any room. Elecion done? Check. Winner qualified for office? Check. Therefore Paul Kirk is NO LONGER A SENATOR. At this moment, Mass has one Senator, Sen Kerry (D) and one Senator Elect, Senator Brown (R). |
