When Peter Schweizer uncovered evidence of insider trading by Republican chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Spencer Bachus (R-AL), and 60 Minutes reported on it, I was the first person to call for Rep. Bachus to resign. That was November 14, 2011. Now, with news that the Office...

I am waiting and keeping my fingers crossed for history to happen!
Hereeeeeee we go…
GO BROWN GO…!
Me too…!!!!!!
man I hope he wins. This could be a serious wrench in their gears.
Well watching Fox news and Coakley's headquarters was empty and Scott Browns was FULL !!! Hope its a good sign
Go Scott Brown – #41!
Croakly should have won by a huge margin without trying. Obama is the stench people are voting against.
Come on Massechusetts, time to go red!
I've been sitting here ALL day waiting for this moment.
It's indeed a "Historical" event.
I hope we kick the libtards a$$.
Not Over.
I am anxiously optimistic. The only negative was I donated $50 to Brown's campaign. It has been many years since any donated candidate won!
I will believe it when he's actually sworn in and vote against Dear Leader Chairman Maobama's communist health care bill…not that his vote will stop it. but it will send a message that he people don't want big government and communism.
Very excited!
Oh, I have 3 tabs open on my 'puter, trying to keep up with it all.
I "multi-task well, but can't type worth a damn.
Not Over.
If they thought she had a prayer, Obama would be at Coakley HQ.
The Dems should well know that watching the race in MA, the people are fed up being ignored. I hope this teaches DC a lesson. Even though Piglosi and Dirty Harry doesn't even care. Will this be a wake up call to DC? I don't know. We'll about to find out.
stay tuned…..
I've torn my house apart cleaning it nook by cranny just to stay busy so I wouldn't turn into a moonbat. I'm on pins and needles.
Today's going to be a good day, tonight's going to be a good night
*HEH*
Not Over.
Buckle your seatbelts kids……….
Ha! I can identify with you!
One can only hope that if Scott Brown wins "Ted Kennedy's seat", that it won't be long until someone wins Barrack Obama's seat.
From your lips to Gods ears.
What's your other ones?
I live in Indiana and I did all I could from here to try and help Brown win. I posted on Facebook, Twitter, etc.. sent emails, talked to friends that live in Mass to vote for Brown. I really hope he wins!!!
Can't buckle up Cowboy…too busy jumping off the walls.
Not Over.
2 tabs and the TV on, and a notebook writing my husband at BCT giving him the play-by-play.
Mother of Mercy is this the beginning of the end of Obamunism. Yeah…Yeah……..Paint the town Brown.
Aha! So we can blame YOU haha.
Do you think it's possible that if the GOP wins back the House and Senate he will just quit rather than be a lame duck? Of course, he loves the vacations the office affords…
I hope it's OK to post this link here. It's a live undated every minute the results of the election today.

CL – glad to see you here for the results! I think it's a little closer than people may think.
Ja! Me three…!!!
Win or lose the unaffiliated have shown their voice and thus an unaffiliated victory and one step closer to the destruction of the progressive movement and both government parties.
DRUDGE, BG, and well…Hot Air. (Even thought I flatly stopped posting there in April when they began laughing and the phrase, "Tea Bagger".
Not Over.
WBZ TV station in Boston has great results – as of 8:21, Brown 52,219, Coakley 46,409
I love it, O'Reilly asks for predictions, and Alan Colmes won't commit. All he'll say is "it could go either way." Another good sign.
4% reported…52% Brown-47%Coakley
Got that "Left brain/Right brain thing going huh?
Not Over.
If the liberal Democrat Coakley loses, it is all Bush's fault.
/seriously, that is what the Dear Leader's mouthpiece Gibbs said today
aparently posting results isn't ok – my post got nuked…
Lions and tigers and bears…oh my!
Not Over.
I am really nervous here in Indy… I have faith that the people of Mass did the right thing today.. this is the first step in taking OUR country back!!
Like that pop song says . . .
"I've got a feelin' (oooooo)
That tonight's gonna be a good night,
That tonight's gonna be a GOOD night,
That tonight's gonna be a GOOD, GOOD night!"
That website is running at a slow crawl, I'm guessing its getting slammed right now. I would love to see the server logs, if the mainframe hasn't melted down yet.

/>Politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive. ~ Ronald Reagan

The Drudge Report has the number of votes on the front page.
Thanks for that…tab 4 coming up.
Not Over.
took the words out of mouth.
GO BROWN…..AHHHH – come on….we need this to happen so bad
Thanks for that. I'll open it up!
I am cleaning guns now in prep if it goes the wrong way.. (and if it does it will only be via left wing voter fraud)

Worried about the Boston returns that come later for the larger population.
yes thank you… I have been praying all day and I don't even live there LoL
C'mon Brown! You are the next contestant on the "Vote the Senate bill down!"
Rasmussen is reporting Dem. voters went 22% for Brown in his first post-election poll. Seems like a small sample, though…500.
OMIGOD! I LOVE IT!!
(Still laughing!)
Will Obama say (if Brown pulls this off), "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job."
I just don't trust early polls to last (sigh)
I don't know who coined the phrase "the Scott heard 'round the world" but I hope and pray to hear that loud, deafening BANG before the night's over!
Flyover America will.
You are welcome!! Go Scott!!
I saw more enthusiasm for Brown, at the Andover polls, than I have seen since I voted for Reagan.
It is a great start to the 2010 election cycle !!!!!
I cannot wait to hear the Dems blame each other over this one….must be Bush's fault.
Figures….

crooked bastards !
don't quit know how to take this tidbit, not sure if it has made it on here yet so here goes…
http://thephoenix.com/BLOGS/talkingpolitics/archi...
I would like to kick NO-Bama's seat !
seven percent reported: Brown 51%, Coakley 48%…
It's nice to see all the familiar faces of Big Gov here tonight, what a wonderful forum AB has brought to us! My first election night on Big Gov and enjoying the heck out of it. Yahoo, go Brown and may all of you out there be blessed tonight in your homes, wherever you may be.
News Alert……Coakley opened her mouth and a troll fell out….oh wait…that's nothing new. GO BROWN!!
Yes. Keep your hands and feet inside, and remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop.
It's almost like a carnival ride. I love it.
21% of the vote are in, with an 8 pt spread favoring Liberty…Go Baby Go…!
Boston Globe… Wishful thinking!!!! NICE TRY!!! Dont believe the hype!!
Mike Flynn, fix item 1, you have the numbers in reverse.
Hopefully tonight that changes!! Go Scott!!
Which website has the fastest updates???
Coakley wins by a few thousand votes. Declares it a mandate for Obamacare. Demands Brown forego the recount process so she can get to work helping the American People get affordable health care.
Brown wins by a few thousand votes. After a recount, Coakley pulls to within 900 votes. After a second recount, Coakley pulls to within 300 votes. After a third recount, Coakley wins by 13 votes. Declares it a mandate for Obamacare. Demands Brown forego the recount process so she can get to work helping the American People get affordable health care.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE, I AM PROUD OF MY COUNTRY
I think they're all loading a bit slow. The entire country is trying to access the numbers.
Great, isn't it?
you are joking right???
Your KILLING me here.
Not Over.
Drudge is WAY ahead of CNN..
R: 0,280,138
D: 0,248,516
My concern is, when do the votes from Acornopolis start being counted?
Twenty-five percent of the vote in and it's Brown by 53-47 and Breown is beating her in her home town !
So…just for fun…does anyone have Olberman on the tube? He's going to chat with Chrissie Matthews and you know…that should just be FUN!!!!
it keeps shifting up and down… he is ahead but it flutters
Oreilly and his guests just said they are calling it for brown. even the dem mouthpiece Mary Marsh.
I'll say that next november when a gaggle full of progressive/marxists/socialists are gone from our political scene…until then I'll reserve judgment…but should Brown take it tonight, I'll be a happy camper…

I heard that. I keep switching back and forth between Bill and Olberman. Just want to see Olberman cry. Payback is a …..
Howie Carr is calling it a victory for Brown! Hope he's right!
I think your right…He would have to take credit for her win…
Afterall, it's always ME, I, MY, MINE…..Did you ever hear him

Ya think?
