I think a Red realignment is on the rise in the Blue Bay State.
Barney Frank is gone. The state has lost a seat because of depopulation, understandable as residents are looking for a growing economy, and Democratic strongholds are failing to bring their residents out of an anemic recovery.
Richard Tisei is mounting a credible and commanding lead in the north side of Boston, where incumbent Tierney faces a backlash for his unethical connections and locked-up wife.

Moderate Olympia Snowe has endorsed Scott Brown. She was more liberal than some of her Senate colleagues, both Democrat and Republican, and she decided not to run for another term precisely because of the partisan gridlock which has paralyzed Washington. So has Marco Rubio, a Tea Party element who understands balanced budgets and constitutional rule come with compromise.
Scott Brown deserves to carry the senate seat in November. The Obama-Warren brand is a failure, one reeking of unemployment, overregulation, and no real recovery. The empty whimpering of "Wall Street" connections will not stick to Brown nor dissuade voters from sending an open and reliable centrist to office.
As a conservative resident of liberal California, I cannot think of a worse fate for this country than for a dedicated centrist like Scott Brown not returning to Washington for another term.
To the voters of Massachusetts, set your state and the country on the right course: re-elect Scott Brown!
