We've Done the Impossible, and That Makes Us Mighty: I Got Some Real HopeChange For Ya!

Oh, yeah!

Now THAT's some Hope and Change for you! And in the bluest of the blue states, Massachusetts. Unbelievable. Unbelievably awesome, that is. East Coast residents can attest to the blue in the state. And yet Scott Brown is the new senator. This election result could well mark a sea change. There will be other elections in 2010, and I am pretty sure that the Congressional Pelosicrats are feeling their political mortality right now. (And will Dems start fleeing poisonously unpopular ObamaCare like rats from a sinking ship?)

So to riff on the old ad, "What Can Brown Do For You?" Keep building a vibrant center-right-independent coalition to push back against the overweening and increasingly heavy-handed bunch of entrenched statists in DC who feel no obligation to the citizenry.

Now to quote my beloved "Firefly" -- "We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."

I'm going to bed happy in the knowledge we all can indeed do something about the political mess that Washington has got us into (i.e., say No). I confess too to being wickedly amused that leftists all over are frothing with rage and that tomorrow some of my more rabidly partisan nerdy campus dwellers will be glum, gloomy, and predicting the end of days because a Republican (! ... or, really, someone closer to the grass-roots tea parties and not so much tied to the ossified RNC) is now liberal icon Ted Kennedy's successor, freely and officially elected by the people of that state. Ain't democracy grand? Well, all politics are local, but this election has some major ramifications well beyond Massachusetts. (Now to quote the delightful Jane Lynch in "Glee," "Your resentment is ... delicious.")

Congratulations, Senator Brown, as you go to the people's seat.

And it all seems poetically fitting too, doesn't it, that it all happened in Massachusetts, in Boston, so steeped with the history of the American Revolution, from the original Tea Party to "the shot heard 'round the world."

PS: Here is Brown's very nicely done victory speech. Do read. I think you all know me well enough by now to know which parts of it made my heart flutter (or would have, if I actually possessed a heart)!
