Mitt "Obi-Wan" Romney

Scott Brown the new senator from Massachusetts said last night in his acceptance speech something that I thought was very important:
"In every corner of our state, I met with people, looked them in the eye, shook their hand, and asked them for their vote. I didn't worry about their party affiliation, and they didn't worry about mine. It was simply shared conviction that brought us all together."
He alluded to the fact that he was elected by "independents" several times in his speech and that his fight was against "the machine." With all the mewing you are going to read about what this election means to Democrats and Republicans it may just be that what this election means is that you are becoming irrelevant.
The people of Massachusetts elected a guy named Scott Brown who embodied what they were feeling and that voters felt would go to Washington and do what they wanted him to do, and these supporters really did not give a shit what his "party affiliation" was - WOW, what a concept!
The election clearly has all sorts of interesting sociological elements with its anti-Obama undertow but I think the overarching concern of Brown voters was a deadly fear of bloated Government and out of control spending (all fueled by borrowing from foreign countries) - all the other issues are simply window dressing.
Beyond all this, Coakley was clearly a rotten candidate who did not get down to work until the very end and (as Mr. Brown eluded to) I suspect she was indeed relying on "the machine" to get her elected, but I think those days may be gone. (FYI to the Democratic Party in Massachusetts - we don't need to hear and "Kennedy - Lion of the Senate" bullshit anymore)
The question now becomes does Scott join the ranks of Republicans in Washington and fall in lock step in the great Rovian Army or does he see his mandate to stay independent, We shall see!
SO if I were creative, my you tube video this morning would be a parody of the Mos Eisley Cantina scene in Star Wars where Mitt "Obi-Wan" Romney and Scott "Skywalker" Brown would be standing outside the Capitol building and Mitt would warn Scott of the "retched hive of scum and villainy" that lay within and tell him to "watch his step."
