Drudge headlines aside, the Massachusetts Senate race is only a symbolic proxy battle over ObamaCare. Massachusetts is a Banana Commonwealth. Just as the Democrats rigged the game after Ted Kennedy's death--reversing themselves by changing the law to empower the governor, rather than a special election, appoint an immediate successor--they are set to trample over the rule of law yet again. As the Boston Herald reported last week, the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office has already announced that it will hold up the election until after the health-care vote. In other words, if Republican Scott Brown wins then Kennedy's hand-picked successor will be kept in the Senate until after the final ObamaCare vote. It's a federal election, they say, and it may take a month or so to count all the absentee ballots. That's funny. When Nikki Tsongas won a federal election in 2007, the same Secretary of State rushed to swear her in so that she could cast a key vote in the House of Representatives. The fix, as it generally is in Massachusetts, is in.
Day-O. Dayayay-O. Daylight come and me want to go Texas.
Yay states' rights! Hurray for the 10th and 17th Amendments to the Bill of Rights!
All kidding aside, I wish, from a principled leftist perspective, that he would win and be seated in time to defeat this abortion, smeared with corporate feces and lobbyist afterbirth, known as the Senate "health care" bill. We need universal single-payer.
Being Democrat apparently means never having to live up to the standards you hold everyone else to.
Could not be more accurate or put any better Billian.
