Has anyone been following the special Massachusetts Senate Race?

Rep Scott Brown is now within 7 points of martha coakley for ted kennedys former senate seat,how amazing would that be a Republican taking that flaming liberals seat and being the 41st vote needed to block his health care reform.

Update:

gws35 this special election is in two weeks we may not have to wait as long as we think,its a longshot in Massachusetts but even in this liberal cess pool people are fed up with whats going on.

    I think Mass is due for a change, as well.

    Brown has experience from the state senate already, so it's not like he is a complete unknown.

    FOUR count 'em, FOUR Senate Democrat seats are up for grabs this year.

    If a Republican snags even one of them, the Democrats lose thier fillibuster-proof majority and the Democrat agenda grinds to a halt.

    Obama will be a lame duck president for two years, because no way he will ever compromise with the GOP on anything.

    That's why they're in such a hurry to push their agenda items now, because they know two years could be all they get.

    They spent one entire year on health care reform, and they're not finished.

    The one year left is going to be frantic.

    The Democrats are already seeing the train coming from the other end of the tunnel.

    The Democrats are as nervous as long tailed cats in a room full of rocking chairs.

    That would be a hoot, that 41st Republican Senator would bring Obama's health care bill to a screeching halt.

    I think it would be fan-f*^%(#@-tastic I have been working the phones all week and will continue until the special election.

    The time for let's see what happens has passed - get involved and be the real change. Hold your representation accountable and remind them they are there to serve the people not themselves.
