Massachusetts, what were you thinking?
I haven't written about politics before and I might not again. But Ted Kennedy's Senate seat going to a Republican is hard to ignore!
Maybe you aren't enamored of Martha Coakley but, goodness gracious, we just threw the bums out and now we're letting one of them back in. Not just any one but the 41st opposition vote in the Senate! Now why, Oh Massachusetts, would you help put President Obama in office to fix the mess that Scott Brown's party got us into and then take away the vote that he (Obama) needs to get the job done?
Actually, I think I know. Americans, like most people in the world actually, are allergic to government. We never want to give too much power to a government, red, blue, or purple. That government might then actually get something done! Far better to keep them handcuffed by the appropriate loss of majority, etc. in one of the other branches of government.
I must exonerate Carlisle, however. We voted for Coakley (54%) with almost 76% turnout!
What with the Patriots' humbling loss to the Ravens, Massachusetts has had a pretty bad January.
