well that was Disappointing | Massachusetts Senate Race

Suppose we shouldn't be too shocked. Martha ran an awful campaign, was uncharismatic, and according to one NY Times article, "dissed the Red Sox". Serious no-no's in any political undertaking, much less a Senate race, wherein unlike the Presidential campaign, there are no vagaries of the electoral college to fall back upon when you start to be seen as just plain unlikeable. That said, I found myself feeling a bit ill when reading through my facebook newsfeed last night -- some of the comments from conservative friends left me just incredulous. Nor am I really sure that all of the Independents and ticked off Democrats that voted for Brown to "send a message to Washington" really took into consideration what a social conservative representing Massachusetts for six years really means. Should be interesting anyways. And aren't you glad we didn't waste all last year listening to health care reform debate just to have it squashed in the final minutes...of wait, we did.

I suppose we can all take solace, however, in the knowledge that our new senator is sure to capture that elusive honor of 'hottest freshman senator'
