Massachusetts Senate Race

The play count now for Ray Stevens smash music video hit, "We The People", is 2,304,413. I suspect that play count will rise much more higher in the hours ahead and in the days ahead following the outcome of this Massachusetts Senate special election. The leading candidate is the Republican, Scott Brown, and should he win the election he'll be the 41st Republican in the Senate and that'll knock the Democrat filibuster proof super-majority of 60 down to 59. This means that should Brown win, ObamaCare in it's current state will more than likely die a quick death...but it could pass as I was mentioning in previous blog entries should one of the several options that the Democrats have at their disposal be implemented. I predict if the Democrats lose the Senate seat in Massachusetts and they don't elect to use one of their options of pushing through ObamaCare I feel that the bill will be re-written or it'll not be an issue for several years.

It's a little after 8pm here in my part of the country and so the polls in Massachusetts have officially closed and so now it's just a wait and see process. O'Reilly mentioned at the start of his program that there are no exit polls and so it'll not be like most elections where poll results are updated second by second or minute by minute like you see in other elections after the public has voted. I don't know if this is going to slow down an already anxious situation or if it'll indirectly lead to accusations of voter fraud of some sort because of the lack of exit polling.
