January 19th special election in Massachusetts - a sign of things to come?

This Tuesday, January 19th, there will be a special election in the state of Massachusetts.  The senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy IS UP FOR GRABS.  This is unprecedented.  Massachusetts is a Democratic stronghold and has been for decades.  Kennedy was the Senator from Massachusetts for forty-plus years.  It was a given that  the person who would replace him would be a Democrat!  No question about it. Business as usual.  But wait....something has happened.  Seems a growing majority of Americans aren't too happy with Democrats and President Obama.  Most polls reflect as much.  Many Democrats up for re-election later on are seeing dismal poll numbers, with Republican challengers fairing rather well.  Sometimes with double-digit leads over their Democratic counterparts. 

And in Massachusetts, this is simply amazing.  Democrat candidate Martha Coakley is only 2 percentage points ahead of Republican challenger - Scott Brown - 49% to 47%, with 2% undecided.   Just a few days ago, Coakley had a 9% lead.  What happened?   Considering that Massachusetts is a state where only 11% of registered voters are Republican, Brown's chances of winning are incredible!  Where did this guy come from?  What is going on? 

Could it be because Brown is running on a small-government platform?  Because he is against Obamacare?  Brown could kill socialized medicine in an instant with his vote.  Brown also scored big during a recent debate against Ms. Coakley, where Coakley looked lost.  One of the high points of the debate came when the moderator asked Brown how he would feel as the 41st vote denying the Democrats their filibuster majority on health care from Kennedy's seat.   Brown stated:

"It's not the Kennedy's seat; it's not the Democrat's seat; it's the people's seat."

What a brilliant statement!  Bringing back politics to the people!  Actually considering "the people" - the constituents who elect the politicians that are supposed to represent us! 

The Democrats right now are NOT representing the American people.  They are doing what they want - and the most perfect example is health care.  The majority of Americans do not want what the government is planning.  And the government - the so-called "transparent" government of Obama - is busy behind closed doors crafting yet another version of a monstrous, messy health care bill which in reality is little more than a government power-grab.  A health care bill that Americans are being kept in the dark about.  Just let Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi work their magic....they know what is best for us!  We are just mere peons to the elitists running the country.  We peasants need to get out of their way and let them do their work!!!  If we don't, we are unpatriotic!

This type of attitude is what is playing into the Massachusetts race.  Martha Coakley and the Dems are desperate.    The Democratic National Committee Chair, Tim Kaine said:  "it's frightening how much traction" Coakley's opponent has been able to get in just the last week.  And if Brown wins, Dems are threatening to stall in certifying him, so he may not be able to vote on the health care bill!  

As a side note, a Weekly Standard journalist was roughed up by a Coakley operative after Coakley appeared at a fundraiser at a Capital Hill restaurant on January 12th.  During the fundraiser, Coakley refused to answer a question as to whether or not she stood by her statement declaring that there were "no terrorists in Afghanistan."  The Weekly Standard reporter asked Coakley why health care lobbyists were supporting her at the fundraiser - and she refused to answer that, too. 

Given the thug tactics used by Democrats at Town Halls and Tea parties during the past few months, the physical attack seen in this video should come as no surprise.  Much is at stake now.  The Democrats realize that they may lose power - and soon.  They are scared.   If the Senate seat in Massachusetts goes to a Republican, just think what might happen in 2010 and 2012!  Could this special election represent a sign of things to come?  Is this the tipping point?  Why, even if Brown loses, the fact that he managed to pull almost even with the Democratic challenger IN MASSACHUSETTS is a victory in itself. 

Now, hopefully voter fraud won't play a major role in this special election on Tuesday, but you never know.  ACORN might resurrect itself to slip in a few fake votes.  Moveon.org might register a few dead people or NFL football teams....   Remember what happened in Minnesota to help Al Franken win?  Voting ballots disappeared.  Voting ballots re-appeared, all for Franken.   Ballots were rumored to have been  found in the trunk of a car and were allowed to be counted.  Even political experts said that usually when lost or absentee votes are "discovered," they tend to skew 50-50.  Not in Minnesota.  They went to Al Franken.  And  Franken won.  The Democrats have cornered the market on the fine art of cheating at elections.  Maybe in Massachusetts, if it's looking bad for Coakley,  voter ballots may be discovered in the trunk of a '69 Oldsmobile submerged in a tidal channel in the Chappaquiddick Islands... resulting in a Coakley victory!
