D-Day in the Bay State

Democrats face the incredible but distinct possibility of losing Ted Kennedy's Senate seat to a Republican. With the loss will go the Democrats' super, filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Democrats are reportedly talking about going ahead and passing the Senate version of their deeply unpopular healthcare reform bill. The tactic will be a slap in the face to the majority of American voters who have consistently expressed their disdain for the plan. The American people don't want such a large, chaotic and expensive takeover of the U.S. healthcare system but, Obama and liberal left leadership of the Democratic party are going to ram it down their throats. The Dems are arrogantly declaring, "We know better than then the American people."

A political backlash is in full whip-snapping progress.

Come November, if the Donkey Party loses control of the House or Senate, it will be a wonder if the losers voluntarily leave their offices. Who knows, maybe they will declare Marshall law in order to pass another badly-needed stimulus package.

UPDATE: More here.

Whether or not Republican Scott Brown wins today in Massachusetts, the special Senate election has already shaken up American politics. The close race to replace Ted Kennedy, liberalism's patron saint, shows that voters are rebelling even in the bluest of states against the last year's unbridled pursuit of partisan liberal governance.
