Pray for an Upset

Voters in Massachusetts will be voting in a special election on Tuesday to fill the empty Senate seat created by the death of Ted Kennedy. What's the big deal? Why is this getting national attention?

This election is really bad timing because the majority of the country is against the new government healthcare (ObamaCare) plan. This includes Massachusetts voters – or at least the polls indicate it. Right now the DEMs have a Super majority of votes in the US Senate and can pass any legislation without fear of a filibuster that could kill it. Without this seat (and vote), they could loose the necessary power to pass ObamaCare. Why even Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank has said: "If Scott Brown wins, it'll kill the health bill." Thus, America's focus is on this election! It could influence ObamaCare.

What's really surprising is the fact that there has been a big shift in the political polls in Massachusetts. Democrat Martha Cloakley was assumed the next replacement for the Senate seat. However, Cloakley has been falling quickly in the polling – just before Tuesday's election. She and her fellow Democrats assumed that she would win the seat. Remember, Massachusetts is predominantly a liberal progressive state.

Apparently voters are beginning to find out that her performance as the state's Attorney General has been far from stellar. For example: She allowed a child rapist to be released without bail. The man was later sentenced to a LONG prison sentence – no thanks to her! Voters are pissed to say the least. This is just one of many cases that shows she has poor judgment. Now voters are aware of it because of the election and there is a stronger focus on her career and her performance in office.

Consequently, the Democrats are pulling-out all the stops and are trying to play catch-up at the last minute by bombarding voters with slews of negative campaign ads against her rival Scott Brown (R). Why even President Obama will visit Massachusetts to try and help the failing candidate pick-up some votes from voters. Bill Clinton has already given it a try there too.

Massachusetts voters deserve better than Martha Cloakley. She has been well funded and runs 6 times more political ads than Brown. The Kennedy family has endorsed her and now we see the President coming to help.

Pray that she looses. We need to get back our system of checks and balances. Scott Brown is a moderate Republican and has the basic conservative values that supports the Tea Party movement.

Good Luck on Tuesday Scott! The whole country is watching!
