It's a good start...
Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts is a really good start and an encouragement to conservatives everywhere, but let's not sit and rest on our laurels. It's still only a "start" and there's much work to do. The tendency (for me as much as for anyone else) is to think of Brown as the beginning of the end of socialism in America, and raise him up to a standard that he, or any other person, would be hard pressed to meet. Let's remember that Brown is just a man--hopefully a really GOOD man, but a man nonetheless, and subject to all the limitations to which any other man is subject. He can't change Washington all on his own, even if he does break the filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. He needs our continued support, and he needs us to seat more conservatives in the midterm elections. He also needs us to keep him accountable to the promises and ideals he stood for in his campaign. Let's get to it, folks!

A good start! I was overjoyed to hear the result.
E Kennedy was not a favorite person to the Brits with his blinkered United Ireland views, and then supporting the terrorist group the IRA. I suspect he was typical in that he didn't know that the majority in N Ireland do not want to join the Republic. A thoroughly unpleasant man in my view.
I hope that this result confirms that Americans have realized that Obama is all rhetoric.
