Today could be a huge day for conservatives. Today the special election is held in Massachusetts to fill the Senate seat left vacant by Ted Kennedy's death. You can find my initial thoughts on what a conservative Republican win could mean in this blog. Over the weekend, I found it interesting how much common ground there was between conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats.
Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama both made trips to Massachusetts to campaign for the Democratic candidate, Martha Coakley. Other high profile Democrats have also provided support for her. All of their messages were that the Obama health care bill is at stake. If Coakley is not elected, Republicans will gain a seat and break the Democratic super majority in the Senate. With the super majority broken, the health care bill may not pass.
The interesting part of this argument is how that message is the exact same message state Senator Scott Brown has ran on. It is the same message that has surged him into a small lead after being down by 30 percentage points a few weeks ago. Both candidates agree about what this special election means.
For some unexplained reason, Democrats believe this message will win votes for Coakley. The seem completely oblivious to poll after poll that show the American people do not want this health care bill. They seem completely oblivious of why Brown has taken the lead campaigning as the 41st vote against the bill.
This is nothing but goodness for Brown. When both sides campaign on the message that has given the Republican a real shot to take the seat filled by a Kennedy for almost 50 years, you have to like your chances. Come November, we may look back on Tuesday, January 19th as the turning point that lead to the end of the President's liberal, socialist policies rubber stamped by a Congress who have refused to listen to their constituents. Today may be a great day.

The Dems seem to think they know what is best for us but we don't. They seem to think that once we learn what is in the bill we will fall in love with it.
ReplyDeleteYet they won't give is a chance to see this lovable legislation in process and have opted for closed doors, partisan wheeling and dealing.
The Marcia...oops! Martha campaign imploded throughout January and Brown's campaign has been nothing short of brilliant. Even the GOP played their hand perfectly in keeping their support for Brown off the airways and their internal polling numbers close to their vest.
Even if Brown loses, this election has awoken a sleeping giant - the voice of the American people.
