When was the last time Massachusetts had a Republican senator? What a victory on the one year anniversary for Obama.

Edward Brooke who was the first black elected by popular vote. He served until 1979

Class dismissed.

Thanks, so it's been some time.

And what a great WWII vet Mr. Brooke's is.

But Mr. Brooke never looked like this ! ! !

Brooke, of course, was fairly liberal for a Republican. I seem to recall he even endorsed Obama during the '08 campaign. So it's been a loooooong time since Massachusetts had a senator like Scott Brown. It'll be interesting to see if he can survive in '12 against a Dem nominee who - I am guessing and hoping - will not act like the seat already belongs to her just because of party registration.
