Are people fed up with politics as usual?  Do people feel betrayed by the change promised and forgotten? 

The answer can be seen in the most unbelievable of outcomes.  Scott Brown, a Republican won in Massachusetts (spelled "Massachusettes" if you ask Coakley) a state with a 12% Republican voting block.  12%!!!!  The main thing every politico needs to take from this race is people are pissed. 

Republicans stand poised to take back a huge number of seats, and really have a chance to take back the house.  However, there can be no complacency.  This is an opportunity to show the American people that we are listening.  Scott Brown won because he listened.  He won because he ran on issues that were important to his constituency.  His candidacy is evidence that the Republican party can be a big tent party, accepting people with different social agenda's, all the while rallying around fiscal conservatism. 

I have heard plenty of opinions on why this election went the way it did.  Most people are saying this was a referendum on Obama.  I am hoping it was a referendum on Congress.  Obama's agenda has been the agenda of Congress for the two years before he was put in office.  No longer will people just sit back and let Pelosi and Reid ram their ridiculousness down our throats.  It is time for change, it is time to hope.  Stop the spending, cut back on the massive central government.  Quit thinking the people aren't watching, we are, and we are voting too.
