Amid Trump surge, nearly 20,000 Mass. voters quit Democratic party. Is it a “Trump surge?” Or just people fleeing the Democrat party because they’re disgusted with Hillary and Bernie?

Robert Gibbs: A vote for Scott Brown was a vote for Barack Obama
Chris Wallace was as incredulous as you’ll be when you hear White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs try to spin Massachusetts’ election of Scott Brown.
Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present one minute and twenty-five seconds of lunacy.
Chris Wallace was as incredulous as you’ll be when you hear White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs try to spin Massachusetts’ election of Scott Brown.
Has there ever been a White House press secretary as smarmy as this guy?
The message Democrats should hear. From the left wing point of view.
Leftist publications must have been fully prepared for a Democrat loss in Massachusetts. Or they’re really fast typists. For example, Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter posted an article that sounded promising – “The Message Democrats Should Hear From Massachusetts.” Well, sounded promising is about as good as it got.
Leftist publications must have been fully prepared for a Democrat loss in Massachusetts. Or they’re really fast typists.
For example, Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter posted an article that sounded promising – “The Message Democrats Should Hear From Massachusetts.” Well, sounded promising is about as good as it got.
It started off fairly well, noting that “There’s no way for the Democrats to soft pedal the historic thumping that Republican Scott Brown delivered to Democrat Martha Coakley on Tuesday in the race to fill Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.”
But the article quickly went South from there.
Asking “Is this a wake up call for President Obama? Yes. Does he need to show that he is listening more? Sure. But should this election kill health care? Don’t be ridiculous. Who elected Massachusetts to decide for the rest of the country whether we move forward on the bill?”
Not sure that anyone elected Massachusetts to do that, but we are pretty sure that the nation spoke out pretty firmly in the last few weeks to say that we’d rather have swine flu than this bloated pig of a bill.
But Newsweek is apparently home to math-challenged individuals like Alter who consider 33% a majority.

We’ve always known Rachel Maddow was dumb. Now we find out she’s also deaf.
Fer Christ’s sake, Rachel Maddow is one woman who refuses to hear the message in the Massachusetts election. Deaf as the proverbial doornail. How far to the left does someone have to be to make Chris Matthews look rational?

Congratulations, Senator Brown!
Congratulations, Senator Brown!
Yes, only 40% of the precincts have reported, but we’re calling it. Brown Wins! We need to get out of the office and party.

Coakley and her ex-cop husband spurned by cop at polling place
Oh, my. Martha Coakley and her husband, Thomas F. O’Connor, Jr., got up bright and early this morning and went down to cast their ballots at their neighborhood polling place in Medford, Massachusetts.
As they entered, Coakley tried to shake hands with the police officer at the door. To say he was unenthusiastic would be an understatement.
Then her husband, a former cop, extended his hand, but the cop on duty not only missed the first attempt, but made no attempt at a second effort.
There’s something else Martha can’t shake – the sense that she’s going to lose.

Stupidest quote ever about the Massachusetts
senate election
“Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said THIS about Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat…’Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident? For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.’”
Remarkably, Van Hollen saw neither the irony nor the absurdity of his statement.
The photo above, of course, was taken at the Chappaquidick bridge that became famous the last time anyone gave Ted Kennedy the keys to the car.

Boston Globe reports Coakley wins 50-49 eight hours before polls close!
The results are in and Coakley eeks out a 50-49 win with two million voting. At least that’s what the Boston Globe said, and illustrated with the above election map, some eight hours before the polls closed.
The results are in and Coakley eeks out a 50-49 win with two million voting. At least that’s what the Boston Globe said, and illustrated with the above election map, some eight hours before the polls closed.
Here’s how the The Boston Phoenix reports the story they broke:
Boston.com briefly put up this map of the final results of today’s election — some 8 hours before polls closed!
As you can see, over 2 million people voted, with Coakley eking out a 50-49 victory.
The map was fully interactive, so you could roll over and get town-by-town results — above we show Coakley taking Cohasset 56-43.
The Boston Globe took the map down shortly after they realized it was all over Twitter, but not before some screenshots were taken.
O’Reilly laughs at idiot guest who claims Scott Brown’s nude centerfold gives him big advantage in election
It think that there are a number of factors here,” Sally Quinn contended. “It’s not quite as black and white as it may seem. First of all Scott Brown is a hunk. And, I think that the fact that he posed semi-nude for a magazine gave him a huge advantage in public recognition.”
Sally Quinn is still alive? Well, we’ll be dipped.
As surprised as we were to find out that the Washington Post columnist is still alive, Bill O’Reilly was even more surprised to find out she’s a complete idiot.
“It think that there are a number of factors here,” Quinn contended. “It’s not quite as black and white as it may seem. First of all Scott Brown is a hunk. And, I think that the fact that he posed semi-nude for a magazine gave him a huge advantage in public recognition.”
O’Reilly was surprisingly kind in pointing out the stupidity of the contention that a 20-year old photo spread could boost anyone’s name recognition today.
Damn, win or lose, this has been one fun election. Can’t remember the last time we saw anything as funny as the way libs are twisting and turning.
Barney Frank on God, the filibuster and the constitution
Witnessing the dismantling of the Democrat Party, Barney Frank had a few frantic words for what’s left of the Air America audience on Saturday. Those damn 60 votes required for passing healthcare bill are just a technicality.

“Look, we have a serious constitutional problem…The 60 vote majority, it is outrageous…It is time top shut it down. It is anti-democratic.” And our personal favorite: “GOD DIDN’T CREATE THE FILIBUSTER.”
But not to worry, he says: those forty votes against healthcare are just from small states anyway.
Maybe God didn’t create the filibuster, but we think He might have brought us Scott Brown.
And let the absentee ballot voter fraud begin…

Obama admits his socialist agenda revolution is kaput if Coakley loses
Comrade Obama knows his socialist revolution is kaput if Martha Coakley loses the Massachusetts senate race. Obama admits it to a Massachusetts rally and Fox News’ Carl Camereon provides the analysis.
Comrade Obama knows his socialist revolution is kaput if Martha Coakley loses the Massachusetts senate race. Obama admits it to a Massachusetts rally and Fox News’ Carl Cameron provides the analysis.
Obama: We’ve got so much work left to do. And, as much progress as we’ve made, I can’t do it alone. I need leaders like Martha by my side so that we can kick it into high gear; so that we can finish what we’ve started.
Cameron: For what’s at stake. President Obama himself has now said that he needs this win because the country’s ability to move forward or back is at stake. A broad sweeping statement that essentially encompasses not only his health care agenda, his economic plans, as well as his green energy proposals. All of these things hinging on whether or not Martha Coakley is elected as a democrat, thus protecting the 60 vote majority.”
Who ever thought that the death of Teddy Kennedy would lead directly to the death of socialism in the United States?
Or perhaps we should say, this version of socialism. Because, unfortunately, socialism is like a vampire. You can kill it a thousand times over, but unless you drive a stake through it’s heart, it keeps coming back to life.
Scott Brown’s wife could kick your ass
Turns out Mrs. Scott Brown is a reporter for WCVB-TV the ABC affiliate in Boston using her maiden name, Gail Huff. Here’s Gail taking the Navy SEAL fitness test. We’d bet on her in a death cage match with Barney Frank. And we’d pay to see it, too.
We hear a lot about Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown and even a bit about his smokin’ hot daughters. Hell, they’ve even trotted out Snuggles and Koda, the family dogs. But why has Mrs. Brown been so conspicuously absent?
Did candidate Brown go through an ugly divorce? Is the wife hideously disfigured? Is Dick Cheney holding her captive in an undisclosed location to keep her from revealing damaging secrets about the Republican candidate?
None of the above. Turns out Mrs. Brown is a reporter for WCVB-TV the ABC affiliate in Boston using her maiden name, Gail Huff. She’s kept a low profile because she has an agreement with the station that she won’t cover politics nor appear at any of her husband’s campaign events to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.

Hell freezes over! SEIU members campaign for Scott Brown!
While the SEIU leadership is working overtime to help Democrat Martha Coakley win the Massachusetts Senate seat, its members are out on the street rallying for Republican Scott Brown.
Looks like the leadership of SIEU is, shall we say, out of step with its rank-and-file members.

Olbermann wants to know why Scott Brown’s nude Cosmo centerfold hasn’t become a political liability
Left wing lunatic Keith Olbermann looks at Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown’s nude centerfold in Cosmo and wonders why it hasn’t become an overwhelming political negative for the candidate.
And this, friends, underscores the fact that there truly is a huge philosophical difference between MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.
What’s the difference?
Left wing lunatic Keith Olbermann looks at Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown’s nude centerfold in Cosmo and wonders why it hasn’t become an overwhelming political negative for the candidate.

See, there really are differences between the two.

Overstuffed Ed Schultz wants to stuff Massachusetts ballot boxes

Let’s just call it the ACORN strategy.

No, really, Mr. President, an appearance won’t be necessary.
Being a gentleman, Republican candidate Scott Brown wants to keep it a fair race. So he was the one who advised The Greatest President In History to “Stay out of Massachusetts.”
You couldn’t blame Martha Coakley, the Democrat running for Teddy Kennedy’s old Senate seat, if she had of uttered these words in response to a White House offer of “help”.
“Barack Obama has been conspicuously absent from the Massachusetts special election that will replace Ted Kennedy in the Senate,” HotAir.com reported. “After Obama flopped at a Deval Patrick fundraiser in 2009, Martha Coakley may not be terribly anxious to have a similar embarrassment in an already-creaky campaign.”
Being a gentleman, Republican candidate Scott Brown wants to keep it a fair race. So he was the one who advised The Greatest President In History to “Stay out of Massachusetts.”
However, neither Brown nor Coakley could persuade President Obama to stay out of the race completely. He’s never met a camera that he didn’t like, so the White House felt compelled to support for Coakley in this embedded YouTube video.
The video was long enough for President Obama to speak about the evil special interests pouring money into the Massachusetts, but not long enough to mention that evil lobbyists and special interests are pouring money into Coakley’s campaign. Like the $680,000.00 SEIU is spending on the Democrat’s advertising and the $50.00 per person they’re paying union members to carry her signs.
But remember, Massachusetts, as The Greatest President In History said, this election could represent the one vote necessary to defeat ObamaCare, Cap-and-Trade and a host of other leftwing boondoggles.
And vote accordingly.

David Gergen gets a civics lesson from Republican senate candidate Scott Brown
Scott Brown is the Massachusetts Republican who looks like he may, maybe, might, could possibly pull off an upset in next Tuesday’s election to replace Teddy Kennedy in the Senate.
Civics. Yeah, that’s what they used to call it. Now they call it a course they don’t offer anymore.
Scott Brown is the Massachusetts Republican who looks like he may, maybe, might, could possibly pull off an upset in next Tuesday’s election to replace Teddy Kennedy in the Senate.
If you listen closely you can hear liberal heads exploding in the background as Scott Brown explains how politics is supposed to work.
Gergen later admitted that he “got stuffed” by Brown, which immediately caught the attention of Barney Frank. Frank was reportedly disconsolate to learn that it was sports terminology.
Let’s hope that the people of Massachusetts, who have routinely returned the likes of Ted Kennedy and Franks to office, get it right this time.

Top 5 possible successors to Teddy Kennedy
The burning question in Massachusetts today is, “Who will fill Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the U.S. Senate? What the hell. If the rest of the media can speculate on possible successors to Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate, we might as well pitch in our two cents.
The burning question in Massachusetts today is, “Who will fill Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the U.S. Senate now that Joseph P. Kennedy II has opted out of the coronation that could have (some would say ‘should have’) been his?”
What the hell. If the rest of the media can speculate on possible successors to Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate, we might as well pitch in our two cents.
Our choices make just as much sense as some others we’ve read (such as New York resident Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, or alcoholic Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy, neither of whom are eligible because they don’t live in Massachusetts, for god’s sake).
Listen up, old media. We can speculate just as wildly as you can. Here are our five top choices.
Candidate #1 – Foster Brooks. Sure, he’s been dead for 8 years, but it clear that he follows in the Kennedy tradition and the transition would be seamless.
Candidate #2. Michael Phelps. Who better than a 14-time Olympic gold medal winner to assume Kennedy’s nickname “The Swimmer”?

Cambridge Police demand O-pology for “stupid” comment

This should be interesting. The President has been more than happy to jet around the world apologizing to anyone and everyone whether they deserve it or not.
Now let’s see how long it takes him to apologize to Americans for once.
