Why this MA election is interesting

Paraphrasing from Arbat:

At first it was supposed to be regular boring MA election, in which Brown was supposed to lose with a huge difference. That’s why it was boring. Then it turned out that the difference was not as huge as it had seemed originally. Republicans decided to use this small opening to shove their foot into and show that if in Massachusetts of all places Democrats are winning with difficulty — watch out Congressmen of other states.

Liberals decided not to turn this into a referendum on Obama. But in their infinite wisdom, their created a slogan: “Voice for Brown is a voice against our reforms”. Which, of course, made this election into a referendum on Obama.

Some say that Brown is ahead. The only poll that makes sense to follow is the one at the voting booths. Or Rasmussen, which is usually correct and which gave Marta 49 and Brown 47. So, the chances, taking error into account, are about the same.

Thus, it’s not important whether Brown will win. After all, it’s MA. It can’t be kissed by a princess and turn into some Texas. If Brown wins, it will be a miracle of miracles. But a regular simple everyday miracle is already enough.

Any state that allowed the Kennedys to call it home could never possibly be kissed by a princess.

You mean the original one or one of the newer ones? Back in the day people inhabiting this here state liked freedom. Now they like government-paid tunnels whose ceiling falls on passing cars and half of whose budget ends up being stolen.
