Last Week In Review
Headlines
Last week's email update was titled A major upset in the working for Senate seat in Massachusetts replacing Kennedy on Tuesday. World Health Organization ranks the US health care #1. Ministries across America respond to Haiti. and boy was it. On a forum I predicted a healthy 3-6 point win for Brown on Monday morning and he won by 5 points on Tuesday night. I predicted this on the basis of the numbers and energy at each rally on the Sunday before the election when Obama visited Massachusetts to campaign for the Democrat (see Video: Check out these videos from Tea Party endorsed Scott Brown's rally in Massachusetts as Obama campaigns for Coakley on Sunday), Intrade.com, the energized voters for Brown vs those for Coakley which is key to voter turnout, the overall sentiment of the nation and all the polls (see Pollster.com releases live polling chart for last week of Massachusetts Senate race between Coakley and Brown) for the last week or so pointed to a healthy Brown victory. Actually, I didn't think it was to risky of a prediction except that this was Massachusetts and a Kennedy's seat held for 50 years and Kennedy's life goal was health care reform which ironically was in a big part what Brown campaigned against (go to a little over 3 minutes of final debate between Brown and Coakley at Video of debate between Coakley, Brown and Kennedy for Massachusetts Senate seat.).
Even those in Europe got the message. Check out this recent speech at the EU by MEP Hannan at Conservative MEP in the UK uses the recent victory of the people in Massachusetts and American history to inspire a revolution of the voters in Europe vs. the EU.
But my favorite is the BBC News description of the victory. BBC News had one of the best descriptions of the victory in Massachusetts. See BBC News on Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts: "...a shock victory...a huge blow...a humiliating blow...one of the biggest political upset in years...a referendum on his first year in office...". This is indeed one of the biggest political upsets in years. BBC News description of what this means and was about is dead on target.
Check out this video as Republican Representative in the House describes what some did when they lost hope of killing the health care reform bill at: Rep. King reports on the House floor that he and Grassley prayed that the Republican would win in Massachusetts when the Republican was down some 30 points in the polls.. Last week before the Brown win Values Voter News reported: "All political eyes will be on Massachusetts Tuesday. History is in the working....If Brown pulls this off in Massachusetts filling the seat of popular Massachusetts Senator Kennedy after Obama, Kerry and the current Governor of Massachusetts along with the Kennedy's have all been strongly endorsing Coakley what a blow to liberalism in America and the current congress and White House." And as BBC News describes boy was it not only a blow but a humiliating blow and referendum on Obama's first year in office (see Obama's average approval rating for first year in office according to Gallup polls puts him second only to Clinton for worst first year average approval rating.).
For more on this election see: Video: Pro-lifer interrupts Obama speech campaigning for Coakley with sign that says "Jesus loves all babies". and You are a racist not only if you oppose Obama, Reid and PelosiCare but now you are a racist if you have a truck or so says MSNBC.
I also sent you all out a post titled Watch this hilarious most viewed video today on You Tube: "Hitler Finds Out Scott Brown Won Massachusetts Senate Seat" which was reporting on this new video going viral. Since then the video has 2.4 million views on You Tube in 6 days and is number 1 this week in 7 categories. Most Discussed, Most Viewed over all and in the UK and India, Top Favorited and Top Rated under News and Politics. And lastly, the most viewed video of this week period. Some are calling this election the political "shot heard round the world" and when you look at the most viewed videos on You Tube in News and Politics you see this video in the tops from Germany to Sweden to Israel to Brazil to Russia and 15 other countries. For more on the significance of the phrase "shot heard round the world" see 3rd video at post Rep.
