    …was the smarmy younger guy in the middle of the bottom row? I wanted to smack him.

    If the Democrats had immediately had the special election they would have won it. They screwed themselves.

    Great Job Erick!!

  • SteveLA

    Senator Jim Webb puts out a statement that puts the notion of a quick Senate vote out of reach and pretty much makes a certification fight moot:

    In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process. It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated.

    … Paul Begala’s head has looked ready to explode for quite a long time…

    You really gave it to ‘em. Good one.

  • shadowtax

    Because there would not be an election unless he died or gave up the seat. Begala made no sense.

  • michaeld

    Kennedy was all for himself his whole life, and in the end that very selfishness just may kill what he fought so hard for…or at least claims he fought hard for it.

    ballot he would have won. Dead democrats vote all the time, no reason they can’t win elections, too.

    Too excellent Erick. Great job!!

  • michigan

    I wonder how ?The Forehead? would have responded if you mentioned that you were happy that Senator Kennedy has been sober for over 90 days.

    Tries to run Ted Kennedy’s corpse against Scott Brown rather than address matters of substance.

    How’d he get above running school board campaigns, anyway?

    …what does that idiot who said last year that Mary Jo Kopechne would happily suffocate again in that car for Ted Kennedy have to say tonight?

    loving it!

    and now they’re voting to prove they’re not socialists…

    Thats the most awesomest, most beautastical most perfect thing I’ve ever heard…

    It’s official…I have a man crush on Erick Erickson…at least for the next 24 hours…

    YEEEEAHRGGGHHHH

  • nivlem

    You made us aware of this race before anyone else was aware. I am over four precincts. I had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with other precinct chairman. Because of you and Redstate, I was able to inform them about the importance of this race. They were fairly clueless that a Senate race was even happening in January.
    You and other Redstate members drop a stone in the water that creates ripples that you will never see.
    Thank you for all of the hard work you do along with all the other Redstate
    members.
    God Bless you with wisdom as you go forward in your efforts to protect America.

  • stixxxnstones

    Ah yes, the sweet, sweet savor of victory.

    Actually, that’s just mead. But the victory tastes nice too — it’s extra crispy :D

    It’s MassachuseTTs with two T’s, thank you very much. Go Scott Brown!!

    Moe started it and Moe put Brown on my radar screen.

  • toughintn

    Well said, Erick!

    The only problem with your candor is this:
    We WANT them to using Ted Kennedy’s self-serving, self-destructive model of public service.

    And I predict you’ll be quoted by Rush tomorrow!

    Please tell me I am wrong….

    Dirty ole man…LOL

    they are pretty hot by the way…

    which makes me one too I guess…LOL

  • andysmith

    I thought Begala was going to jump out of his window and come after you. That was awesome!
    Really, though, you helped make this happen. Kudos to your early support of Scott Brown, and I’m willing to bet we can get Marco Rubio and Chuck Devore in the senate as well. The fight is far from over, but tonight’s victory tastes pretty sweet.

    we wouldn’t feel that way about them. So, you can blame God if you want to.

  • ciscoguy

    It’s time to start hunting down these marxists one by one. Let them try and hide – we’ll go get them in CA, IL, DE – wherever we have to go. As Mark Levin said, this would have been like Reagan having to go to Utah to defend Orin Hatch’s seat…and losing. We’re going to round ‘em up by the bushel friggin barrel this fall.

  • Achance

    That’s the way it works – unfortunately.

    Republican in Hyannis MA here… holy *** we won.

  • rec0n

    and it rounded my evening off nicely. And Scott has made it a truly singular evening :)
    I keep pinching me lol

  • nivlem

    Romney.
    His daugter recognition was extremely tacky. Granted they are beautiful.
    I know he is over the top overwhelmed with excitement, but leave your daughters out of it. He simply opened them up to a lot of publicity they do not need.
    Teddy is spinning in his hell. A Republican is quoting JFK accurately.
    It is truly a ni

  • spainishirish

    And Scott Brown made a certain body part shorter, if that is all possible.

  • nivlem

    sorry, my laptop skips a beat every one in awhile (actually a lot).

  • mschmitt

    Already above the fold, here’s guessing you get the full work-up by the AM.

    Now you just need to guess that stocks will likely surge in morning trading and point out that more lives in Haiti were saved by bad a** gun-toting U.S. marines than by Castro’s army of 1950-era utopian medical professionals to pull off the Trifecta (potentially triggering a lib-head-exploding chain reaction of nuclear proportions).

  • Ned Reck

    That sick look on Begala’s face was absolutely priceless. Just when I thought the leftist part of the group was gonna get sick, you made ‘em choke on it with that immortal comment about independents not being socialist. As the scene trailed off, thought multiple Heimlichs were in order. Just, just an excellent ending to a fine day.

  • scarlos

    We just dealt one big morale blow to the entire democratic party, and the Liberal establishment in particular.

  • SteveLA

    He called Romney out from the back of stage and shook his hand. Wrong just flat out wrong.

    Far as his daughters, I laughed like crazy, he was being a dad…and his daughters will give him heck when he gets home….they are very good looking young women.

  • BlackConservative

    Yeah the blonde was awesome :-)

  • Bedell

    A toast to you all.

  • nivlem

    My husband told me he ackowleged Romney while I was walking the pugs.
    My error.
    As far as his girls, I understand, just think it opens them up to a lot of ridicule in the future.
    Once you bring them into the game, they are fair game.
    I really don’t think any of us want our daughters to be subjected to what they are going to be subjected to.

  • Frank Zaber

    I can’t stand Paul Begala – never have been able to listen to him for more than 10 words in a row without wanting to ralph.

    Any chance that you can get on Olbermann’s show and do the same thing? That is, if you can get a word in edgewise between Keith’s rants about us being teab-ggers, Nazis, brownshirts, Rethuglicans, and all around bad guys?

    (Anyone ever notice how conservatives don’t use the cutesy little catchphrases like that, the ones that the progressives think are so wonderful?)

    What a wonderful night.. November cant get here soon enough..

    Us dad’s, it’s our mission in life to embarrass our daughters like that….or so I am told by my 17 year old daughter…and told and told…..LOL.

  • Carol Tarasewicz

    Erick, that made me laugh so hard.

    I put on MSNBC for a few minutes, I didn’t know they would knock Coakley before she lost officially.

    Thank you all for contributing to Scott Brown’s win. I am from MA and now I see the revolution coming from here again to the rest of the country!

  • bigalsouth

    . . make any sense? Yeah, that’s a good one. If Teddy was alive, he would have won. If, if, if, if.

    When Paul Begala makes sense, hell truly would be frozen over.

  • Right_Again

    He is incapable of discussion, he only wants synchophantic head nodding from his guests. I have never seen him with any guest who remotely represents a conservative (or for that matter, a moderate) viewpoint.

  • http://impudent.blognation.us/blog kyle8

    his ratings are lower than peoples court, and the only ones who are watching him are rabid kossacks anyway. He is like Hugo Chavez, best ignore him.

    to meet you in person, I am going to buy you a beer and hand you a ceeegar. That clip is the best TV I’ve seen in years. “Ted Kennedy’s memory” my A**. Let’s talk about Mary Jo Kopechne’s memory for a change…

  • Warrior

    even when combined. Erick comes in at least two standard deviations above the mean. Way to go Erick…priceless.

  • Warrior

    all day long, buy don’ you neva say nuttin’ about Massa Kennedy…

  • Warrior

    dropped the “…to prove their not racist…” line on them was PRICELESS!! They couldn’t think of a thing to say between the six of them. Ha Ha Ha Ha

  • momoxie

    Shame on Ted Kennedy for dying? Paul’s right…low blow. Go ahead and ban me…I won’t be back.

  • Streiff

    to post without having listened to the audio or read a transcript. Congrats on the self beclowning.

    I would have pointed out that after being clean and sober for 5 months that Ted was on a bender last night.

  • louisiana

    He was ticked off because you allinskied (word?) him. Irony of ironies. Following up on Warrior’s comment–I’ll buy you a drink too, because that was, at the very least, a 2 free drinks performance!

  • neyney

    How appropriate that Kennedy’s own policies and actions in MA have inadvertantly brought about the potential demise of one of his favorite pets, namely national healthcare. The irony is delicious.

    Teddy is spinning in a very hot place.

    EE – Super job; We need more messengers like Scott Brown to run against D’s and Progressive R’s.
