Scott Brown accomplished the impossible. He beat the BigDem machine in cobalt-blue Massachusetts. A stunning, historic victory.

Brown won without the help of ACORN, SEIU thuggery, Black Panther poll monitors, or other establishment props. He engineered and executed a brilliant populist campaign made up of old-fashioned “Fenway Park” handshaking, clever retorts, positive energy, and technological savvy. What a well-earned win.

Thank you, Massachusetts. Thank you, America.

GO SCOTT GO!

The People’s Truck

“Forget the truck. Everyone can buy a truck.” — Pres. Barack Obama, Jan. 17, 2010

Obama Manages to Doubly Insult Hardworking Massachusetts Voters: Slams Truck-Owners AND Says Everyone Can Afford To Buy A Truck

Who in the world thought Obama-the-Harvard-elitist could actually help Martha Coakley? This is perfectly indicative of her out-of-touch campaign….

“So look, forget the ads…Forget the truck. Everyone can buy a truck.”

Brown took that opportunity to slam the president on government spending..

“Mr. President, unfortunately in this economy, not everybody can buy a truck,” Brown said in a statement. “My goal is to change that by cutting spending, lowering taxes and letting people keep more of their own money.”

I don’t know if his truck references were scripted in advance; regardless they reflect a blatant disregard of Obama’s (and Coakley’s) connection to the people. Scott Brown is winning in large part because he has executed a brilliant populist campaign targeted at just this type of arrogance. Obama’s stump speech leads me to conclude that he really wants Coakley to lose, or he is just tragically clueless.

UPDATE: Gateway Pundit points out that the truck Obama insulted — Brown’s pick-up — is a GM truck.

Perhaps Massachusetts residents would be less passionate about kicking the Democrats out of THE PEOPLE’S SEAT if the Obama-Pelosi-Reid approach to “reform” were more inclusive, more transparent, and more mindful of the PEOPLE’S PRIORITIES.

Let them try this, just let them try. Then they will really see what it means to lose the PEOPLE’S SEATS….

After holding a days-long, closed-door meeting with leading House and Senate Democrats and union lobbyists to hammer out a new compromise ObamaCare bill, Barack Obama may abandon it and demand that the House acquiesce to the Senate:

A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action.

The likeliest scenario would require persuading House Democrats to accept a bill the Senate passed last month, despite their objections to several parts.

That’s Morrissey at Hot Air quoting the A.P.

“….(Ann Dunham) was very young and very single when she had him.”

What desperation by the Coakley Democrats. Now they are trying to tear down Scott Brown by accusing him of — wait for it — saying he wasn’t sure whether Obama’s parents were married when he was born. Memeorandum has the round-up.

In July 2008 MSNBC reported on a Michelle Obama event:

His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.”

TD NOTE: susan h has been publishing intelligent comments on this blog for as long as I can remember. Today she posted the following….

Hi TD, missed your wonderful blogs and insights all these months. Hope you are doing well.

We need to BREAK the stranglehold on the majority Senate and if we have to vote out big democrats to do it, so be it! I had always felt the worst situation (be it democrat or republican) was for one party to have all 3 -the White House, Senate and House of Reps – that was an insane way to do business and this WH is reprehensible, calling itself Transparent and then holding secret meetings in the middle of the night, cutting secret deals to favor this one or that. I imagine Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez carrying on like this, not the democratic congress which vowed to be transparent. Did Obama ever promise anything during 2008 which he has kept?

I am so very disappointed in the “blue dog” type democrats, most especially Mark Warner and Evan Bayh, who I held out to be moderate, fiscal conservatives, common sense, intelligent men who would bring us back to center when the Obots tried to put forth their far left leaning marxist type agendas. But everyone has caved in! I am appalled! It is like the Denver convention all over again when all the super-delegates were afraid to speak up and support who they really wanted to support (Hillary) but instead were threatened, bribed, intimidated, coerced, and who knows what else to support the fraudulent Obama.

Good luck to Scott Brown. Sure hope MA voters have the GUTS to send a message to Washington: We are fed up and we’re not going to take it anymore!

Thank you, susan h.

REMINDER: Although recent polls show a Scott Brown surge, there are four days left in this campaign and it’s critical that we all do everything we can to keep Scott’s momentum going full-throttle until every last Massachusetts voter has cast a ballot next Tuesday. Go here to help:

“The AP reported that Meehan is working for Coakley.”

Well, well, the thugs are out in full force for Martha Coakley. Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack was on the sidewalk outside the Capitol Hill Coakley fundraiser Tuesday night along with other reporters, when he allegedly was shoved to the ground after asking questions Coakley didn’t want to answer.

And here’s the video:

McCormack’s account:

…(Coakely) began walking away from the restaurant, and I walked behind her asking why health care industry lobbyists were supporting her at the fundraiser. She didn’t reply.

As I walked down the street, a man who appeared to be associated with the Coakley campaign pushed me into a freestanding metal railing. I ended up on the sidewalk. I was fine. He helped me up from the ground, but kept pushing up against me, blocking my path toward Coakley down the street.

He asked if I was with the media, and I told him I work for THE WEEKLY STANDARD. When I asked him who he worked for he replied, “I work for me.” He demanded to see my credentials, and even though it was a public street, I showed them to him.

I eventually got around him and met up with the attorney general halfway down the block.

“Attorney General, could I ask you a question please?” I said. “We’re done, thanks,” Coakley replied. She walked back toward the restaurant, apparently searching for her car. She remained silent as I (politely) repeated my question.

Coakley staffers told me they didn’t know who the man was who pushed me, though by every indication he was somehow connected to the campaign.

Coakley staffers didn’t know the guy? Yeah right. McCormack later reports:

A tipster tells me that the man who was pushing me outside of a Capitol Hill fundraiser Tuesday night for Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley is Michael Meehan.

Meehan heads up a firm called Blue Line Strategic Communications along with his partner David DiMartino, who was outside the fundraiser with Coakley tonight and introduced himself to me there. The AP reported on Monday that Meehan is also working for Coakley: “The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also dispatched Michael Meehan, a media consultant with ties to Massachusetts, to assist the Coakley camp with messaging.”

Meet the rest of the thugs coming to Martha’s rescue.

Whether or not Scott Brown conquers the Kennedy Machine in Massachusetts next Tuesday — and I believe that he can — he will be able to claim another victory of historic magnitude:  In a single televised moment, Scott Brown gave voice to the millions of Americans, from shore-to-shore, who are frustrated and fatigued by a tone-deaf political class.  In that moment, Scott Brown reminded not just the voters of Massachusetts, but all Americans, that elected officials serve at the pleasure of the people.  They occupy our seats.

In this single moment, Scott Brown became a hero:

Join the movement here.

Coakley claims there are no terrorists in Afghanistan anymore. Tell that to the CIA families.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air makes the Gerald Ford analogy:

In the 1976 presidential campaign, Gerald Ford lost whatever chance he had for victory by asserting that Poland wasn’t under the direction of the Soviet Union, making him look detached from reality and throwing the election to Jimmy Carter. Hopefully, the voters of Massachusetts will make the same determination about Coakley in the aftermath of this debate and send someone much wiser than Carter or Coakley to Washington.

Who knows what the people of Massachusetts will do one week from tomorrow. But the people of America, if they all could put their votes where their credit cards are, would definitely send Scott Brown to Washington.

As of 7 pm ET, the Scott Brown money bomb is nearly $800,000 and climbing…. Incredible! (The numbers change so quickly that my screenshot is outdated)

Meanwhile, Martha Coakley raised $100,000 today. Hmmmm.

Some newer analysis worth reading at…

Don’t forget to send your cheeseburger money to Scott HERE. There’s a new ONE MILLION DOLLAR goal.

GO SCOTT GO!
