I know you are all going to tell me that I am crazy for being so upset by this, but I have to spill my heart somewhere. I am horribly upset by the fact that a dirty, tea-bagger type Republican, is going to be sitting in Ted Kennedy's Senate seat! I just cannot bring myself to believe it! How could this nasty person win a race like this? I tell you that this election should be protested! Voter fraud should be looked into, and the Secretary of State should not certify the results! Ballots were pre-marked for Brown! I wonder how many votes were STOLEN yesterday! I made 250 phone calls yesterday to voters, and the majority of them were Coakley supporters. I cannot imagine that she lost the way they are saying!
What is even worse is my own husband, is happy that Brown won. My husband helped me for hours on end to get Obama elected in Florida. He is a true progressive, or at least, I thought he was until recently! He is so happy that Brown has won, and he's pledged to vote against Obama in 2012, and against Democrats in general in 2010! I do not know what to do I am beside myself!
Ted Kennedy's seat is being taken by a white man. A former Cosmo guy. How disgusting! This just brings me back to tears and the feeling of dread. What about health care? What about people like my friend who are dying and can't even afford end of life care because she went bankrupt due to all the medical bills!!! What happened yesterday was wrong! If you are a Democrat and you voted for Brown to 'send a message' then SHAME ON YOU! You have screwed the rest of us over!
I'm sorry for this rant and rave, but I must do this or I will go insane! These eyes can only cry so much! I have had to avoid the MSM all day long. I can't take it anymore. Please, what alternate universe am I living in?
UPDATED
To clarify, the importance that a white man won last night is due to racism and sexism! Look at the front page, I am not the only one seeing this, and I am a white female!
Also, my husband has turned against Obama because he thinks he has focused too much on health care, and not enough on the jobs front.

I am sorry that my diary is so emotional. I just wrote what I feel inside. Am I the only one feeling this way? I thought the one place that could accept how I feel was Daily Kos. I seemed to have misjudged that too. I'm back to the couch with a box of tissues.
