The campaign of unintended consequences;
Over the past several days as the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts heated up, the available "inventory" of advertising spots to buy from the TV networks dried up.
And then disappeared entirely.
On cable we here at the Tea Party Express were not able to purchase any additional local spots. Zero. None. Nada.
Polls just closed. I've never seen so many Republicans afraid to "jinx" themselves in my lifetime.
That's a good sign. Maybe they're catching on.
Heh.
You got that right Kate.
I am not afraid to jinx myself, but what I am afraid of doing is gloating.
Shut those voting booths down and let the counting began.

Barry and his crew haven't figured out yet that ordinary American people realize you can't spend $100 if you only earn $10.
That kind of math works with the handout crowd frequented by "community organizers", but its a dog that won't hunt with the folks who actually work for a living.
Bye bye Barry, you might give great teleprompter but otherwise, you are a dolt.
I posted on the other thread:
Just heard on Fox:
Brown 51% - Coakley 48% (7% of polls reporting)
Drudge seems to be reporting in real time - 53% to 46% for Brown. I would assume the smaller rural cities report first and that are probably GOP leaning, so not getting too excited - yet.
Desperate people do desperate things, if ever a count had to be watched it's this one. I get the feeling something out of the ordinary is about to happen regardless of who wins or loses.
Why is MSNBC the ony reporting station ?
145,789 Brown to 125,450 Oakley.
We get the Boston stations here on the right coast, tickers running under NCIS atm have Brown 53, Coakley 46 at 13% reported.
Holding 53-46 with 21% reporting.
Good news here:

The Massachusetts secretary of state is discounting reports of voter irregularities in the state's Senate special election.
A spokesman for Secretary of State William Galvin said Tuesday two reports of spoiled ballots could not be verified or found to be widespread.
52-47 @ 39%
Fox (36% reporting)
52% - 47% for Brown
You're doing a great job AlanticJim, ahead of everybody, keep it up. Thanks!
Thank Jethro Gibbs....LOL
Ms. Coakly I would like to present to you this silver platter upon which rests Your Butt.
Sincerely
Senator elect Brown.
Drudge is behind, dang MSNBC is ahead.
587,310 Brown to 521,949 Coakley
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww,,
We The People shall prevail.
,
53 - 46 @ 60% (Fox)
Same numbers at 65%
same numbers @ 75%
Fox says Coakley has conceded.
CBS just called it for Brown.
Coakley Croaks.
Right - Brown has been declared the winner. Incredible overturn in Massachussets - and a thumbing of the nose to both the Democrats and Ted Kennedy.
BUT - beware. Don't think that Obama is going to change and revamp his agenda. Don't think that the radical Democrats who run him and are dead set on inserting a statist infrastructure into the US are going to change and revamp their agenda.
On the personal side, and for Obama the narcissist, it's ALL personal - he'll consider this a personal insult, an affront to his majestic authority - and he'll react with vengeance. With Obama, you do NOT have the right to reject him, er..Him.
He'll attack.
The radical Democrats want Their Statism, and they'll assist in the attack.
Obama/Democrats will villify people with money. Wall Street, industries, any and all will be smeared, villified - even though they aren't the villains!
But Obama is a divider. Race is his first tactic of division. Now, it's going to be wealth. Watch him do it.
And three cheers for the people of America who've stood up to this tyranny.

Congrats to Scott Brown. Note that, while he ran as a Republican, appears he is really an independent. Believe this is very much a harbinger of future Republican primaries and ultimately the 2010 mid-terms.
How do you spell "Tea Party"?
Agreed, ET. The Dems will still try to Rahm things through.
Fred 8:31 - your second sentence is pure gold
BROWN WINS!
Dems descend into chaos; curse Obama; throw the wonder to the lions and it's everyone for themselves in 2010. health-care reform debunked; requests to the supremes to offer the presidency to Sarah Palin. She doesn't hide the decline and says: Stuff you socialist dogs. Go home AND DO NOT RETURN TO THIS HOUSE THAT YOU HAVE DISGRACED.
And, as if to confirm the point, the Senators give the guys from that city, what's its name? Chicagee? a good arse-whipping.
Something else that is fascinating.
CNN and MSNBC - carried, in full, Coakley's concession speech. But NOT Brown, the winner's speech. Hmmm. Could they be biased? Hmm?
Only Fox is carrying Brown's speech. He's the winnter! But CNN and MSNBC are ignoring him! Instead, those two stations are muttering over 'what went wrong'?
ET: Don't know about NBC, but I am following Brown's speech on Internet on both Fox and CNN right now.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
It is not the Kennedys seat after all ...... HAHAHHHAHAA
(dances on graves)

But this is precisely why the competitors to Foxnews have lkwer viewer numbers than Fox.
Brent - no, CNN has cut Brown's speech short. They've moved on to Haiti and to comments about 'the loss'.
Only FOX is carrying the speech in full.
And the CNN/Democrat comments are all about the loss, and one can see that the Democrats are trying to separate Obama from it, laying the blame on the Coakley campaign.
This ignores that she went to Washington for help; that Obama campaigned for her ...
Brown is aligning himself quite openly with the Independents...rather than the Republicans. And with The People - of any political stripe - but with any and all who reject Washington's agenda of statism.
Says that he wants taxpayer money spent on the military protecting us against terrorism, not on hiring lawyers-for-terrorists.
And talking about his 'going to washington right now!...a warning that he's ready
And that he'll work for the people..and he includes Democrats/Republicans..
Quite the speech. I'd say he's presidential material for 2016.

Thanks, ET. I'll take your word for it that the CNN feed you were watching was different than the one I was watching through the Internet at this site:
http://freetubetv.net/
For technical reasons, the CNN feed was better: better sound, a closer frame on Scott Brown, and Fox had about an extra 15 second delay. However, the same speech was covered. Strange that there are "two" CNN's.
all Obama's rescue missions are now officially failures.

I disagree...they don't have any choice.. the little (5%) ultra socialist part of the Democrat party is finished... The Congressional leadership doesn’t have a legitimate mandate! Nancy would be pushing on a rope....she is done....
The Health debacle is done.
The Cap & Trade is done.
The immigration crap is done.
The EPA threats are done.
All we need now is for Congress to abolish the US Ninth Circuit (they have promised this before)...and the lawyers will bring those guilty of racketeering to justice
I somehow doubt that big socialist of whom the big Owe is merely a puppet is too close to its goal to give up now. I predict it will push extremely hard. The only question is if the 'faithful will drink the kool aid knowing as they all do now that the chalice is laced with poison. How many will commit political suicide believing they are serving a higher cause and how many believe that you have to be politically alive to serve and advance the cause.

I think the most significant political development displayed in the Mass. by-election was the rise of Tea Party ideals/influence fostering more independent voters from both GOP and Dem ranks. Voters wanting a return to constitutionally confined government abandoned traditional partisan lines. They see both parties as sold out to the same special insider interests - and both parties on a special interest agenda of larger uncontrolled government and bigger taxing that is in-your-face beyond any traditional Washington propriety.
Dems voted GOP, GOPs voted to remove an incumbent party, but most are now unaligned independent voters looking to 'clean house' in Washington. If this trend continues all incumbent seats are in peril. People are not just POed with Obama and the Alinskyites of the Chicago Dem machine, they're POed with congress and the collusive politics of DC corruption and Wall Street crony governing. This comes to a head now as Americans are suffering bankruptcy, job loss and recession austerity while they see their politicians and insiders living big on the public's dime - robbing the treasury for Wall Street cronies. Banker welfare from a Chicago Marxist Cabal and no real alternative presented by GOP who are more concerned with offending BO than stopping his constitutionally conflicted Wall Street collectivism. The outrage brews in the depressed heartlands.
I predict 2010 will be an electoral blood bath for the Dems but also GOP (RINO) incumbents. There will be more independent candidates elected as well - possibly an unprecedented number.
Perhaps there's a new political paradigm brewing in the US heartland - liberty or constitutional populism and abandonment of left-right branded partisanism - just maybe.
The facists scared the people again. Tax cuts? How can you cut taxes in the with a trillion dollar debt started by George Bush. What is wrong with the American people? Are they that stupid and paranoid? I guess they are.
