Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley Massachusetts’ Election is a Biggie
Last Updated on Sunday, 17 January 2010 06:45
Written by Will Huff
Sunday, January 17th, 2010

In Massachusetts there will be a special election on Tuesday for the Senate seat long held by the late Ted Kennedy. In Massachusetts there has not been a Republican Senator since 1973, which may change on Tuesday.

In a state that has long voted democrat, the possibility that Republican Scott Brown has a chance at winning this election is remarkable. As recently as three weeks ago, Martha Coakley was holding a large lead; some say a double digit lead in the polls. But Martha Coakley had taken a hands-off, a kind of don’t F this up approach, to the special election. While she sat back, Brown was working. His team has been working the phones, making stops, shaking hands and kissing babies. It’s even been eluded to, by Curt Schilling of Red Sox glory, that Coakley has been sitting on her high horse and expecting the seat to be given to her.
There are also multiple other things working in Brown’s favor. One is a growing dissent toward the Health Care bill which is hastily being rammed through congress. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 55% of people disapprove of the bill while only 40% approve. Plus a majority of people feel like it will lead to higher taxes and more trouble to states that are already operating on a low budget, but who will be forced to pick up the cost of Medicaid for their inhabitants. These issues are working in favor of Republican candidates at the moment. Other bits of help for Brown are coming from Coakley herself. She has called the aforementioned Schilling a “Yankees fan” and is supporting new taxes which are being proposed by President Obama.

The Democrats are not throwing in the towel though. President Obama and Clinton are campaigning for Coakley along with other high powered Democrats. They have begun to attack Brown’s character for his connection to the “Radical Tea Party” movement. He was even called a “Tea Bagger” by one Democrat Senator. They also are pointing out that Brown will derail the Health Care overhaul if elected, leaving “millions of people without health insurance.”

Whatever the outcome, Democrats are going to reevaluate policy and campaign strategy. This has been a clear wakeup call that all is not well in the Obama-Nation, and this election may be a dagger to all of the plans which the Democrats have while holding the 60-40 vote majority. Tuesday will be a pivotal day for the Obama agenda.

Gaines Adams Bears defensive end dead at 26

Gaines-Adams-Bears-defensive-end-

Gaines Adams of the Chicago Bears died Sunday morning after being taken to an emergency room in Greenwood, S.C.

Sadly, this NFL defensive end was pronounced dead around 9 a.m. Sunday morning.  The Anderson County forensic pathologist will perform an autopsy today and hopefully we will know more about this untimely and tragic event.

Adams was only 26, but had already played 3 seasons with the Bucs and the Bears after being drafted by Tampa Bay with the no. 4 pick in 2007. The 6-foot-5, 256 pound Defensive End played 47 games and had 67 tackles and 13.5 sacks.

Our condolences go out to his family and his fans and we will keep you posted on any further updates on this story.

Earthquake in Haiti Catastrophic
Last Updated on Thursday, 14 January 2010 11:42

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

By now we’ve all heard about the terrible earthquake that totally devastated Port-au-Prince (Haiti’s capital) and its surrounding areas on Tuesday.  What nobody knows for sure yet is just how devastated this nation will be after all is said and done.

As of yesterday 1,500 bodies were piled up outside of Port-au-Prince’s General Hospital and more are turning up by the hour.  While official numbers are impossible to confirm at this time, predictions that over 50,000 Haitians lost their lives in this disaster prove just how awful this tragedy is.  Not only that, but another three million citizens are now homeless and desperate for food and shelter.

As for the US, President Obama says the US will give $100m to aid the relief efforts in the impoverished country as well as sending rescue teams to the Caribbean island.

China, Spain, France and Great Britain are all using their resources as well in an attempt to alleviate as much of the burden that the country is already facing.

Haiti has endured several hurricanes in recent years, but many feel that this is the worst disaster the nation has ever experienced.  We will keep you posted as new updates are released.  Until then, be thankful for what you have and do not take anything for granted.
