I was flipping channels last night to see what the different networks were saying and showing.
Olberman and the MSNBC team were deriding Brown and Mass voters for being stupid, and advocating full steam ahead on ObamaCare
Blitzer and the CNN team was just sad about the turn of events, and suggesting scaling back ObamaCare.
Both MSNBC and CNN stopped showing Brown’s victory speech when he got into the meat of his campaign points. Really.
So, if your were watching those networks, you missed his classic line that “It’s not Ted Kennedy’s seat, it’s not the Democrats seat, it’s the people’s seat.”
On ObamaCare: “It will raise taxes, it will hurt Medicare, it will destroy jobs and run our nation deeper into debt.”
On terrorist rights: “Our tax dollars should go towards weapons that destroy terrorists, not lawyers to defend them.”
For a stupid guy, he seem to make a lot of sense.

P.S. Oh yeah, Hannity and the Fox team were gloating …

That’s what I find so interesting and puzzling about this election – more interesting than puzzling, because of the eternal debate between Republicans who want to be refined Palins and Republicans who want to be Democrat lites. Brown was clearly a refined Palin and a real Republican, and he won in Massachusetts! He isn’t like say Bloomberg, who would be a Democrat in most states, but ran as a Republican to get on the ballot.
Who would have predicted a few weeks ago that someone who advocated “Bush” policies (with the possible exception of a more hardline immigration stance than Bush) would in in MA?
