What Scott Brown’s Victory Means to South Texas

January 19, 2010

Congratulations to Senator-elect Brown. You have shown that giving people someone to vote FOR, not just against works everytime!

So, just what does Senator Brown’s election mean to us?

For several years now I have been hearing from the Republican establishment in these here parts that a Republican simply cannot win against incumbent Solomon Ortiz because this is South Texas and Solomon Ortiz’s last name is Ortiz. IYKWIMAITYD. Come to find out, most of these same arugula munchers have actually been voting FOR Solomon Ortiz. Mainly because that uncouth, blue collar guy from Ingleside kept winning the Republican primary. We can’t elect him, for heaven’s sake!! What would people think of us? ::eye roll:: Like they think so highly of us because we’re represented by the high school drop out from Robstown.

Whatever.

Scott Brown won in the state of Massachusetts because he did an end run around both parties. Yes, he ran on a REPUBLICAN ticket. He is smart enough to know that third party candidates don’t win elections. All I’m saying is that if Scott Brown can win an election in the bluest of blue states, there is more than a passing chance that a Republican could oust an increasingly unpopular Solomon Ortiz.

Just sayin’.
