Sarah Palin sends her congratulations to Scott Brown on her Facebook page
Congratulations to the new Senator-elect from Massachusetts! Scott Brown’s victory proves that the desire for real solutions transcends notions of “blue state” and “red state”. Americans agree that we need to hold our politicians accountable and bring common sense to D.C.
Recent elections have taught us that when a party in power loses its way, the American people will hold them accountable at the ballot box. Today under the Democrats, government spending is up nearly 23 percent and unemployment is higher than it’s been in a quarter of a century. For the past year they’ve built a record of broken promises, fat cat bailouts, closed-door meetings with lobbyists, sweetheart deals for corporate cronies, and midnight votes on weekends for major legislation that wasn’t even read. The good citizens of Massachusetts reminded Democrats not to take them for granted.
Americans cheered for Scott Brown’s underdog campaign because they viewed his candidacy as a vote against the Democrats’ health care bill. You know that there’s something wrong with this legislation when opposition to it inspired a Republican victory in a state that currently has no Republicans in Congress and last sent a Republican to the Senate nearly 40 years ago.
Clearly this victory is a bellwether for the big election night ten months from now. In the spirit of bipartisanship, let me offer some advice to the Democrats on how to stem this populist tide. Scrap your current health care bill and start from scratch. We all want true reform, but government mandated insurance is not it. Scott Brown campaigned against this top-down bureaucratic mess. We need common sense solutions like reforming malpractice laws, allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines, giving individual purchasers the same tax benefits as those who get coverage through their employers, and letting small businesses pool together to provide insurance for their employees. Focus your efforts on jobs, not on job-killing legislation. Such a change in approach would show Americans that you’re listening.
My best wishes to Senator-Elect Brown. When you go to Washington, may you never forget the ordinary citizens you met while driving that truck through the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Doing the happy dance for Scott Brown. My husband and I watched his speech live and were cheering him along with the crowd at his victory party. We donated money to his campaign and we live way down here in Texas.
With all of the elections this year I wonder how many Democratic candidates have changed their minds about wanting Obama to campaign for them? :o)
I found this message in the comment area of an article about Scott Brown winning the Senate seat:
ALERT: New Republican strategy-- Let Obama and Clinton campaign for Democrats!
One of my favorite quotes from Scott Brown at his acceptance speech:
"It all started with me, my truck, and a few dedicated volunteers. It ended with Air Force One making an emergency run to Logan."
I am very happy for Scott Brown but very sad for Sarah Palin what is she doing pushing for MC Cain here in Az, We are all very upset.
We have been hearing McCain in ads tearing down J.D.Hayworth even on his own radio station and He cannot defend himself. Well Friday night he finally made up his mind to quit his radio KFYI-am show and run against McCain.
