MASS HOPE!

To quote Jimmy Fallon: I read that a year into Obama's first term in office unemployment is higher, the national debt is higher, and there are more soldiers serving in Afghanistan. When asked about it, Obama was like, 'Yeah, technically that is change.'

And now for the hand wringing and the declarations and the divinations of what this means.

Simply put, it means the people of Massachusetts elected a Republican senator. A man who ran against the takeover of healthcare and is for needed health care reform. Who ran as pro-Free Market. Who ran as pro-Charter Schools and school accountability.

This also makes use of the Senate filibuster viable. Which, I hope, will allow for some bi-partisan approaches.

If you read anything more into it then that, its your prerogative. Just do not be sold a bill of goods. November 2010 is still a long ways away.
