Joe Sestak Responds to Mass. Senate Election

Pennsylvania Democratic primary Senatorial contender Rep. Joe Sestak, responding to the election of Scott Brown (R-Naked) in Massachusetts on Tuesday, thankfully does not interpret it as a craven call to roll over and play dead for more "bipartisanship" and positions himself as a change candidate and the real Democrat in the race.

Here's his statement:
"One year after President Obama's historic election, we have lost the seat of Senator Ted Kennedy and have seriously jeopardized his life's work of seeing that all Americans have access to health care. Back-room political dealing in the Senate delayed this bill, weakened this bill, and tarnished it in the eyes of the American people. The message to Democrats is clear. People have had enough of establishment politics on both sides, such as Senator Specter's party switch after 30 years as a Republican in order to save his job. The people are looking for a new generation of accountable leadership. We must do what we were elected to do: get rid of the old politics of Washington and the Senate and get to work for America's working families."

Senator Centerfold?


Republican US Senatorial Candidate Scott Brown

Maybe you've heard: Massachusetts will vote for a US Senator in a special election on Tuesday (this is Ted Kennedy's old seat). The race is between Democratic Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley and Republican State Sen. Scott Brown.

Coakley hasn't exactly fired up Democrats and President Obama will be campaigning with her in Massachusetts today. A loss for Coakley will of course mean that Democrats lose their magic 60 seat advantage in the Senate (which hasn't really been so magical if you ask me). No 60 seat majority may very well mean no health care reform.

Moreover, Brown is a tea-bagger, bankster lover, and denier of aid to 9/11 workers, who doesn't even provide health care insurance to his own staff, and who's basically called President Obama a bastard.

As if that weren't enough, he also was a nude Cosmo centerfold model (which apparently doesn't matter if you're a dude) whose daughter was on American Idol -- I'm thinking Balloon Boy's Father. Yeah, that's exactly who we need in Ted Kennedy's old seat.

The polls have been all over the place, but there is a clear trend showing Brown ahead.

If you don't want a Senator Centerfold, please make some calls for Coakley here.

The Republicans are already trying to jam Coakley phone banks so anything you can do will help. (You also might want to consider contributing to Coakley's campaign as Brown has been taking in a million dollars a day in the last week.)
