We can hope for a Democratic loss in Massachusetts tomorrow, but we cannot afford to expect it. An unfulfilled hope is bad enough; an unfulfilled expectation can be devastating.
A win by Scott Brown will be a vote against ObamaCare and that is wonderful, but don’t be too disappointed later when you discover Scott Brown is a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only). A win in Massachusetts for the Republican Party is a win for better government. Be happy with that for now.
We must take what we can get in Massachusetts; after all, politics in that state has been off-the-chart leftist politics for a long, long time. Change comes one step at a time.
Make no mistake about it; what is happening in Massachusetts has and will continue to affect the whole country. That fact stands whether the Republicans win or lose at the ballot box tomorrow.
The shift that has already taken place there would have been unthinkable just a few months back.
It is time to shout for joy at the great strides Massachusetts has taken toward conservatism. It was the home of the original tea party, don’t forget. Good things can happen there and they are in the throws of happening now: today.

Hope and/or expectation aside, it would be just plain silly if Brown doesn’t win over the voters in Massachusetts.
I think he will. He fits the mold of what conservative means in Massachusetts.
