“Don’t forget, Massachusetts has had RomneyCare for the past couple of years, which is similar to the mess that Obama is trying to push. One is required to purchase coverage or pay a fine. Clearly, the voters of Massachusetts made their opinion of that known last night.”

I doubt it. The real problem with RomneyCare is the public cost. As a MA resident my immediate concern would be ObamaCare destroying my existing private non-group plan, which is a significant improvement over its predecssor.

My point is that, even without the Democrats trying to ram Obamacare down our throats, Brown still would have won in Massachusetts. The sense of entitlement to the seat was more than a lot of voters could bear out of the Democrats.
