Brown appealed to the frustration and fear. He played people and he won. That’s the Republican way. And it doesn’t hurt that most people’s lives revolve around a very small geographical area, which means they know little and care even less about the lives of people outside their circle.

For the record, I’m mad at everybody.

I wrote this a week ago. Instead of electing the strong, experienced Democrat (Capuano), or one of the more independent ones (Pagliuca or Khazei), we elected the one whose “turn” it was. Well, that’s how we got Mitt Romney as a governor, giving him a national platform to come back and haunt us in 2012.

Brown’s problem isn’t only that he drives a pickup truck and is so proud of it he featured it in his first commercial. He’s a dyed in the wool tea party republican with Wall Street connections in his back pocket, a love of Bush ideology to feed the wealthy at the expense of the poor, and to forget women have rights. Any rights. He’s scary, and yet he appeals to the Tea Party Republicans who espouse all that crap about too much government.

Today at the rally at N’eastern U was a Brown supporter that was as stupid as some of the Obama Haters/Palin Lovers from pre-presidential election videos. She was yelling how voting for Scott Brown would preserve the police and fire departments and didn’t even know that a FEDERALLY held Senate seat had nothing to do with local funding of police and fire. I suggested that she might go back to second grade and learn some civics. She was just one of a few hundred Brown supporters that didn’t know their ass from their elbows.

Fortunately the number of Coakley supporters WAY outnumbered the Brown dolts. Thank God.

Don’t write off the election yet. It’s close, but we’re a Democratic State and I find it hard to believe that people will give away Kennedy’s seat to a redneck moron.

A girl can always hope.
