Kennedy special election puts GOP in spotlight

By GLEN JOHNSON (AP) – 2 hours ago

BOSTON — A state senator's victory Tuesday in the Republican primary for the special election to fill the late Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat gives the Massachusetts GOP something it's sorely missed: a place in the political spotlight.

Since Mitt Romney left the Statehouse to pursue his 2008 presidential campaign and his one-time running mate Kerry Healey failed to hold the governor's office after 16-years of GOP control, the Massachusetts Republican Party has further atrophied.

Now its most immediate hope for revival in one of the nation's bluest Democratic states State Sen. Scott Brown, one of just five Republicans in the state Senate. He will go head-to-head in the Jan. 19 special election with the winner of the four-way Democratic race, Attorney General Martha Coakley.

Brown and his team are relishing the opportunity.

"The voters will have a clear choice: Do they want to send somebody down there who is going to be in lockstep with (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid and do what they're told, or do they want somebody who's going to be down there looking for the interests of Massachusetts?" Brown told The Associated Press in an interview. [link]

We really need one more republican in the Senate. This is the most immediate chance to stop the socialist health-care reform and the global-warming madness.

I turn on the radio every day, and with every newscast I get a stronger feeling that I am in inside the Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" novel, and that the next news item will be "The equalization of opportunity act".

Scott Brown's chance of being elected is not high, but this is the only change we have. There is only one way to increase this chance - it is to contribute to his election campaign.

His website is http://www.brownforussenate.com, and you can donate with your credit card.

I gave him $100.
This is not a lot of money. The cost of Obama's health-care and cap-and-trade will be a lot more for each of us.
