Massachusetts Senate Race

It's Tuesday, the day of the vote for the Senate race in Massachusetts to find a replacement for the two years remaining in Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. The national media is all verklempt that Scott Brown, a Republican, could actually WIN this election! OMG! WTF! BBQ! BRB!

This just shows me how little national media understand about Massachusetts. Yes, Massachusetts votes a majority of the time for Democrats but I always view that as not necessarily about being liberal. Massachusetts has a long history of Democrats who are relatively good as candidates. A good candidate can win in Massachusetts. Yes, the Dems seem to have better candidates but don't people realize that, for example, from 1991-2007 there was a Republican governor of Massachusetts? Republicans CAN win in Massachusetts!

I suppose I shouldn't be expecting the national media to know anything about anything. The inanity of their coverage of California knows no bounds. Now they've turned the spotlight on Massachusetts with similar quality of coverage.
