Today's Washington Examiner posted an article by Hugh Hewitt about the Massachusetts special election to be held on January 19th. Hugh Hewitt points out that in any other year, Martha Coakley, the Democrat candidate, would be ahead by thirty points. The polls are all over the place--some polls have Scott Brown ahead by one point and other polls have Martha Coakley ahead by as much as fifteen points. It will be an interesting election.
The election is about healthcare. Massachusetts has universal healthcare. All the taxes and federal control of healthcare included in the proposed federal healthcare bill will only be a negative for Massachusetts. The voters are beginning to realize that voting for Scott Brown might be a positive for the state--he would be the vote to stop healthcare. If elected, Scott Brown would serve the remainder of Ted Kennedy's term, and an election will be held in 2012 to fill the seat for six years.
The election of Scott Brown is the only way to stop Obamacare. Our Congressmen and Congresswomen have chosen to ignore the calls and emails they have received telling them to vote against the healthcare legislation as it stands. A victory for Scott Brown would force a bipartisan effort on healthcare that might actually result in real reform.
