January 20, 2010 is a day to celebrate. But who would have thought that it is Tea Party activists, Republicans, Independents and all Americans that love liberty that would be celebrating 10 months before the November 2010 Congressional elections?
It is the first anniversary of Barack Obama’s inauguration and the day after the voters of Massachusetts elected Scott Brown to succeed Ted Kennedy as Senator from Massachusetts. The voters’ revolt of 2010 has begun.
As Scott Brown said in his victory speech tonight “when there is trouble in Massachusetts there is trouble everywhere and they know it.”
This ends the Democrats’ absolute control of Congress.
Next in the revolt of 2010: Florida District 19, where Democrat Robert Wexler has taken voluntary early retirement. There will be a special election April 13 and Republican Edward Lynch is running to win this traditional Democrat district.
There will be more great Florida races in November including South Florida congressional candidate Allen West’s run to unseat Democrat Ron Klein.
The Florida race to draw most national attention will be Marco Rubio’s run for the senate. In the Republican primary, Rubio is well-positioned to defeat an establishment Republican governor, Charlie Crist, who endorsed Obama’s pork-barrel stimulus bill.
Redstate posted some advice to vulnerable Democrat representatives:
This message goes out to every vulnerable Democratic Congressman representing a Republican or even centrist district – and after tonight, who among you is not vulnerable? It is a simple message: we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way. The easy way is, you suddenly decide that you have a burning desire to spend more time with your families. So you don’t run for re-election, you walk off stage technically undefeated, and you go join a lobbying firm. The hard way is, you do run for re-election, and we pry you out of your seats.
We want to do this the hard way. We will enjoy doing it.That’s your only warning. And remember: nobody is going to be able to save you. If the President, the DSCC, the DCCC, the DNC, the SEIU, ACORN, and the netroots couldn’t manage a win in Massachusetts… what do you think that they can do for you?
