Boston Globe readers agree with Scott Brown!

"This gives hope," writes fellow tea partier Amy Kane of Amy Kane Online Journal in the comments to our previous post, with overwhelming evidence that the people of Massachusetts agree with Scott Brown that It's not the Kennedy seat, it's the people's seat:

Late yesterday afternoon The Globe posted its endorsement of, surprise, Coakley and the comments section exploded in favor of Brown. This morning they re-posted the same lame editorial with a different URL and brand new comments section, and the comments section is once again leaning heavily Brown.

As the all-seeing, all-knowing Glenn Reynolds wrote way back in 1999, "The powers-that-be aren’t anymore":

Without talk radio and the Internet, Tennessee would probably have an income tax now.

The major media were almost all pro-tax, and anti-tax groups got little publicity, most of it negative and condescending. Used to the old way of doing things, state politicians (many of whom barely use e-mail) missed the groundswell of opposition until it was too late. Tax opponents, meanwhile, simply bypassed the traditional gatekeepers in the media and took their case directly to the people. The people responded.

Be sure to read the whole thing, a concise, early analysis of how the old-boy-networks are being "disintermediated via the Internet"  As Tennessee goes, so goes the nation?

Update: Heading into downtown Boston shortly to do some more phone banking.

AWESOME!!! I am so excited that like the rest of America the people of MA are AWAKE to the hypocrisy of both the LEFTIST media and the Democrats. Scott Brown knows more about and cares more about the people in his state then Coakley could ever care to. She thought that D would be enough that the serfs would never look at her personally and lo and behold they have indeed looked at her and are REJECTING her and the politics of personal destruction.

Sissy, one of the comments on the (new URL) Globe editorial:

My family was going to go with Coakley, who for us, is a local candidate. We've received multiple calls from Scott Brown's campaign and not a thing from Coakley. We're swinging for Brown. It's time for a change of direction.

Way to go, phone bank volunteers!

Just linked in from Legal Insurrection to discover your blog, Sissy. Nice to meet a sister Massachusetts Scott Brown supporter!

Keep the faith!

Terrific comparison to the Tenn anti-state tax citizen action, very apt to this Mass election....BRAVO on your good work on this!
With Good Luck, all Mass residents may finally get representation in DC!

It seems to me to be a combination of circumstances: Coakley is running what to my mind is the absolute worst campaign I have ever seen - and I've seen some real clangers in my (lengthy) day - and Scott Brown is running a really good campaign with a lot of really good, seriously committed people supporting him.

While Massachusetts is the state that has produced some excellent public servants it is also the state that produced the hilariously unqualified Michael Dukakis. Guess it's catch-as-catch-can there in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, eh?

We need to be winning this, one fight at a time. The next fight will be to get the newly elected Senator Scott Brown certified and seated quickly. Then we can kiss that abominable healthcare bill goodbye at long last. AND put the fear of God into the Dems in Congress - especially the House who is entirely up for reelection!

One election at a time, one seat at a time. Let's roll!

Keep up the good work, Sissy.

Let's hope we see a change in MassachusettEs and at The Globe. Both need change acutely.
