One of Massachusetts’s two Senate seats, the one Edward Moore Kennedy occupied faithfully for the Democrats from 1962 to his passing last year, went to the Republicans in a special election on Tuesday.

The Democrats’ candidate in the election to replace Kennedy was one Martha Coakley, the state’s Attorney General. Her opponent, Republican state Senator, Scott Brown, is now on his way to Washington, cheered by a grateful nation.

Coakley should have been a shoo-in in super leftie Massachusetts where they vote for creatures like John Kerry, still, sadly, the state’s other Senator.

But Coakley lost.

The Dems are scrambling to blame her for running a lousy campaign. True, she accused legendary Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, a Republican, of being a Yankee fan, and she is personally blander than white bread and Velveeta. But Teddy cheated in college, ran away and left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown, was a raging alcoholic, a major league bullshitter, a bully, and a philanderer, yet Mass voters sent him to Washington every six years anyway.

Coakley should have won because she had all the major media shuckin’ and jivin’ shamelessly for her, especially The Boston Globe, local and national network TV chatterboxes, CNN, MSNBC with its tingle-legged and other vituperative far left “personalities”, and The odious New York Times.

Democrat superstars from the pimp Barney Frank to our walks-on-water President campaigned for her.

Martha Coakley lost anyway. In Massachusetts! She lost because even Massachusetts voters have had it up to here with the anti-Constitutional nonsense going on in Washington.

And two large and annoying groups lost: the progressive (read: regressive) cabal in Washington and the major media.

They have no power, no credibility. They do not understand the American people at all. They have ceded power and influence to talk radio and the Internet and their viewer/readership continues to tumble.

They are the dumbest sons of bitches in the history of American business.
