VIDEO: Massachusetts Democrat Who Voted for Scott Brown

Since voting for Harry Truman in 1948, she’s never voted Republican, but after Tuesday? She’s just another irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary tea bagger! Soon to be Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World! (And don’t even think about commenting at Little Green Footballs, lady!)

Conor and Andy Want Some Pudding

“It is particularly amusing to see folks call the outcome stunning in one breath and aver in the next that they can explain why it happened mere hours after the fact, without any new data save the result.

FITCHBURG, Mass. This town is one of the “bellwethers” of the Commonwealth’s voting pattern, according to Suffolk University’s Political Research Center.
