In a victory few thought possible just a month ago, Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley Tuesday in the race for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy — a win that could grind President Obama’s agenda to a halt and portend unexpected losses for Democrats in the November midterms.

Washington was waking up Wednesday to a new Senate make-up, one featuring Republican Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown, who defeated Democrat Martha Coakley in a victory few thought possible just a month ago.

The race for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy is a win that could grind President Obama’s agenda to a halt and portend unexpected losses for Democrats in the November midterms.

In his victory speech, Brown declared that he had “defied the odds and the pundits,” and said he would try to be a “worthy successor” to Kennedy.

“Tonight, the independent voice of Massachusetts has spoken,” Brown said. “This Senate seat belongs to no one person, no one political party. … This is the people’s seat.”

With nearly all precincts reporting, returns showed Brown leading Coakley 52-47 percent, by a margin of 120,000 votes. Independent candidate Joseph Kennedy was pulling 1 percent.

The victory marks a stunning upset in a race thought to be safe for Democrats until Brown’s campaign began to surge just weeks ago. Even Brown appeared a bit in shock by his victory. Visibly giddy during his remarks, Brown went script and at one point offering up his daughters to the dating circuit — and later he earned supporters’ laughter by flubbing his campaign pitch line, “I’m Scott Brown. I’m from Wrentham. And I drive a truck.”

Brown’s victory has powerful ramifications for Obama’s agenda. The GOP state senator, once sworn in, will break the Democrats’ 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority in Washington. This creates problems for proposed legislation ranging from financial regulatory reform to cap-and-trade.

But most immediately the win sends Democrats into a scramble to pass health care reform before Brown arrives in Washington. Democrats were already weighing options for how to fast-track the bill before polls closed Tuesday.

Brown blasted the health care bill in his victory speech and urged the Senate to seat him as soon as possible. But a schedule for Brown’s swearing-in was up in the air on Tuesday night.

“The people of Massachusetts have spoken. We welcome Scott Brown to the Senate and will move to seat him as soon as the proper paperwork has been received,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said he would notify the Senate on Wednesday that Brown had been elected.

Tonight was a victory for Conservatives and a statement to the Washington Establishment: Conservatism is America’s choice.  It is not enough, however, to say one thing to get elected and do something else in Washington.  Senators, Congressman, and even the President witnessed history tonight and they are afraid ~ very afraid.

Republicans, Independents, and Democrats ~ consider yourself warned: “the people elected you and you work for us.  If you don’t listen, we’ll vote you out of office.”  This election has given energy to the already awaken giant. This Conservative movement is alive and continues to strike fear into the far left and the moderate right.

The GOP has determined to return to its principles and bring forth candidates that reflect those principles that made the GOP the right choice.  Tonight we have won a great victory in the battle.

However, “do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side” ~ Darth Vader

Liberals look to undermine the people’s voice in Massachusetts and across America by either stalling the installation process or by passing the bill some other nefarious way.  Let your Congressman and Senator know today ~ that will cost them their job!

Yes, we are excited that Scott Brown won in Massachusetts.  But November 2, 2010 is coming to Wisconsin soon and we have a lot of work ahead of us. Will you join with Wisconsin Conservatives to bring real change to our state and country in November?
