I hope the dems will now "man up" and say "Maybe taxpayers don't like government spending money like CEOs, maybe taxpayers don't like government bribing senators to pass a bill, maybe taxpayers don't like bailing out Big Business who share the government's bed, maybe taxpayers don't like the government using taxpayer money to finance special interest like ACORN, maybe taxpayers don't like arrogant b@stards who behave with a partisan behavior for an entire year like the democrats... hmmm..."

I hope that when we vote in the new crew they will avoid the special interest traps and remember their campaign promises and where we as a nation want to go. Obama needs to look into the mirror and ask himself who is he there to really represent. It is a question that all politicians need to ask themselves daily. It goes with the old saying either you are with us or against us. Right now the Dems in government are against us, so we will use the elections to correct that. They need to GOOOH (pronounced GO), Get Out Of OUR House.

I am hearing the "This is not about Obama" crap already.

This is ALL ABOUT Obama and his policies and failures.

We can all agree that Obama has been an utter failure.

Does this show the man does not have what it takes to be a leader. Even his own party is out this morning pointing fingers at each other.

Considering he has a massive approval rating in MA and is sitting well enough to get re-elected, I would say this is simply wishful thinking on your part.

I would say it is "wishful thinking on your part". The people have spoken. "It is the people's seat, and that includes the Whitehouse."

They will never understand and will not acknowledge the people's will.

Guess the tea party members kicked Obama's skinny little butt and they cannot take it.

The people are going to force Obama to do what WE the majority want him to do, not want he wants to do.

Can you say LAME PEE KING DUCK!

After the 2010 mid terms and the Independent vote takes the house and senate back, they will be able to pass legislation, without the presidents signature.

Your going to see a lot of legislature of the past, repealed to shrink big government.

This has got to be a loud message to Obama. Don't get me wrong, I hope he can turn things around, but I don't see it after a year.

A traditionally "Blue" state just voted "Red". I am kind of excited that I will not have to pay for someone elses Health Insurance.

Now that Mass. has voted in this guy, does that mean that Mass is now a Racist State because it is not following what Obama wanted?

There is really no way to calculate how big this victory is.

Psychologically, it really does do great damage to the dems.
