In the special election to fill the Senate seat formerly held by the deceased Sen. Ted Kennedy, Republican Scott Brown defeated his Democrat opponent and sent shook waves throughout the political landscape. That a Republican who opposed Pres. Obama's healthcare reform and most other presidential initiatives could take the seat held by "the lion of the Senate" in the bluest of states is nothing short of miraculous unless of course your belief system runs to the more pedestrian in which case it was "stunning", "an upset of epic proportions"! An interesting footnote is that today's first reading in the Mass is 1Samuel, the story of David and Goliath!
