Miracle in Massachusetts

I should be in bed but I am riding a wave of excitement and amazement that has me too wired to sleep. Over the past week I have been so energized by the MA senate race and the importance it has for this state and the country. It was so thrilling to go and vote today but I have to admit even as I cast my vote I assumed that the democrats would win and our hopes would be crushed. It was just impossible to believe that a republican could win Ted Kennedy's Democratic Senate Seat. But Miracles do happen and I am still a little shocked that I voted for the winning candidate today. It is a testament to the fact that no matter how blue the state or how left the politics when the people unite together and fight for what they know is right the impossible can happen. Brown based is campaign on the fact hat he would be the 41st vote to stop health care. He ran an amazingly clean and upbeat race focused solely on the issues while being brutally and unfairly attacked by the democrats. Although democrats out weigh republicans 3 to 1 her in MA with the help of the independents we were able to carry the day. Lifelong democrats who would never have dreamed of voting for a republican came out in droves to support Scott Brown. I can not begin to explain what an upset like this means here in MA. It is amazing. I am so lucky to be a part of history and a to be part of a hope that can sweep across this nation and empower the American people to take back their country. If we can win Massachusetts anything is possible!!!! God Bless America!!


now I am going to sleep...

I was so excited last night to see the results of the senate race. Morgan said "now nothing will get done in congress" and we both feel great about it. I am anxious to see what other states will do in their voting this year.
