Fox News - "The Party's Over In Massachusetts" - Fox News Already Doing A Victory Lap ala Gore?
Edited on Mon Jan-18-10 10:57 AM by TomCADem
I guess I should not be surprised that Fox News is already celebrating the victory of Scott Brown. They have a nice track record of calling Republican victories early.

Democratic leadership took the partisan path in 2009 and the Obama White House supinely went along. Now they may be very sorry that they got what they wished for.

Year one of the Obama administration ends Wednesday. Another era may come to an end the day before, when Massachusetts voters choose a senator to fill the three years remaining in the term of Edward Kennedy, who held the seat for 47 years.

If Republican Scott Brown wins that election -- and he seems to have an excellent chance to do so -- that election will mean the end, after just seven months, of the Democrats' 60-seat Senate supermajority.

That era began in July, when Al Franken was seated after protracted litigation over the result in an election in which both he and incumbent Republican Norm Coleman got an underwhelming 42 percent of the votes. And Franken was the 60th Democrat only because in the preceding April Arlen Specter, in his 29th year in the Senate and facing defeat in the Republican primary, switched parties for the second time in his political career.

2. All I had to do was start reading the text to know it was Michael Barone
You should read his gloating writeup in the Almanac of American Politics after the 1994 elections (the 1996 edition). You would have thought that the Democrats would never win another election again.
