Senator-Elect Scott Brown (R)'s victory might seem to be a huge blow to the Democratic party, but it could be a huge win for the American people. The Democratic leadership was given a great gift by the American people, and they have failed to spend their political capital, choosing instead to try to cater to those in power who confuse steering this ship of state with playing a high school football game. Perhaps this sign of vulnerability will be the wake-up call needed to get done what they were put in office to do. It's time to stop trying to curry-favor to those who are still smarting from the 2008 election and act like you have a pair. If you choose to continue to waffle, then you deserve to lose your seats.
Sen.-elect Brown, I congratulate you and hope that your service benefits the citizens of Massachusetts as well as the citizens of the United States. To wish you ill because of your party would be childish and--since you will play a hand in how this country is shaped--is fundamentally un-American. This is not a high school football team where if one side loses, the other side is unaffected. This is the United States of America, and if this ship sinks, everyone goes down with it.
