Elections-VOTEA tsunami is coming.

“Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.

Although Brown’s 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News survey’s margin of error, the underdog’s position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.

“It’s a Brown-out,” said Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center. “It’s a massive change in the political landscape.”

The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.”

Change in the political landscape indeed. When you can fire up the people in Massachusetts to vote for a Republican that’s CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN. Of course there is still the weekend and time for the Obama/Emmanuel Chicago political machine to throw some dirt on Brown with the Friday news dump, or over the weekend. Wouldn’t work as voters have most likely made up their minds at this point.

Question is just how would this affect the final passage of Obamacare once the House and Senate bills are merged. Senator Dodd – retiring from the Senate says, “If this is all about surviving politically, then we’re missing the whole purpose of what we’re supposed to be doing.”

Interesting, because if his buddies in the Senate had been “doing what they were supposed to be doing”, the Senate wouldn’t have passed a bill that a majority of the American public doesn’t want. So the question is will other Democrats want to go down with the ship come November.

I’ve just got a feeling that if Brown wills all bets are off.
