The recent race for the Senate seat to replace Ted Kennedy's seat is finally over. The victor? Scott Brown, Republican. Massachusetts, a very Liberal state, had an election to fill the seat Ted Kennedy left behind when he died last year. This is quite the upset. He won 52-47 percent over Martha Coakley, who was running against Scott Brown as a Democrat. His win is enough to filibuster the long debated health care debate. Obama, and his fellow Liberals aren't too happy about that. Democrats will now have to scramble to pass their health care legislation. They also aren't too happy that he could hinder their attempts at reforming cap and trade.

My Opinion: I'm glad he is in. I hope he stalls the cap and trade reforms as well as the health care, or completely dismantles them, although that is unlikely to happen. Hopefully he will do a good job for the minority Republican.
