I think the famed independent voters of Massachusetts (and indeed all states) need to find independent, 3rd party candidates to vote for. At this point independent voters are simply involved in a stupid ping pong game back and forth between corporate Republicans and corporate Democrats. NOBODY is going to win in this game, lets use this movement (if that is what this is) to break the back of the 2 party system in this country and create a viable, independent 3rd party that is NOT controlled by corporate interests or the party infrastructure.
Even though a flood of money entered the Massachusetts campaign at the very end of the election it seems fairly clear that Mr. Brown had probably won by then. This means that Brown was able to win this election without all the baggage, and this strikes me as very hopeful as long as we move on from here in some meaningful way. As long as independent voters continue to use their anger to simply dump incumbents and not formulate a meaningful path to take our country out of the hands on big money then there is little hope for America.
