Massachusetts, one of the most liberal states in the U.S.A., has delivered a huge message to all Democrats in Washington by electing a Republican to the United States Senate — to the seat held by the late Ted Kennedy, no less. And a Republican who specifically ran promising to be the 41st vote in the Senate against the Obama/Reid/Pelosi health insurance monstrosity.

President Obama will not abandon his plan, because he is a true believer, and it is crucial to his strategy to remake America. But as for the effect this will have on shaky Democrats in the House and likely the Senate too … well, it’s going to be fun to watch.

In addition to being fun, however, it is deadly serious. What they’re calling “the Scott heard ’round the world” is genuinely a pivotal political moment in this country’s history. Massachusetts has stepped up. Never lose faith in the American voter, no matter how many mistakes they make. Democracy allows for the correction of mistakes, although on this occasion, with the health care destruction bill about to be passed, we sure cut it awful close.
