John Cornyn and added GOP leaders reveled Wednesday in the party’s stunning capture of the Senate seat held for nearly a half-century by liberal Edward Kennedy, claiming it as a sharp repudiation of the president and his affair on health care and a ambit of added issues. WASHINGTON – Texas Sen.
Scott Brown over accompaniment Attorney General Martha Coakley was cause for enormous glee among Senate Republicans – especially since the win gives them 41 out of 100 seats, enough to break the Democrats’ filibuster-proof supermajority. Only about one in 8 voters in Massachusetts is a Republican, so the victory of accompaniment Sen.
"If they want to accomplish things around here, the bigger way is not to try to jam us," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters at the Capitol.
Cornyn accustomed a surge of independents scared off by Obama policies and "running away from a big government agenda" – the same voters that swept Obama to power and bolstered the Democrats’ majorities in the House and Senate over the last year.
He said he won’t be surprised to see more Democratic incumbents decide to retire in the face of the Massachusetts upset, nor a surge of donations.
