Boston Goes Brown: ‘I’m Thrilled
to See So Many Young People’

FITCHBURG, Mass.
Da Tech Guy and I went down to Boston with plans to cover President Obama’s appearance Sunday for Democrat Martha Coakley, but instead ended up covering the street scene outside Northeastern University — including a massive turnout of Scott Brown supporters like Deborah Donahue:

In this next video, you see a few of the young people who turned out Sunday to show their support for Scott Brown:

Brown supporters in Massachusetts are clearly enthusiastic and energized. Liberals? Not so much, as Da Tech Guy explains in his account of Sunday’s event:

The Coakley supporters [outside the Obama event] were not happy and felt cheated out of their rightful victory. . . .
Even worse the amount of Brown people started to overwhelm the volume of remaining Coakley supporters, thinned by both people heading into a secondary room to watch the speech on TV and by people leaving. As the Chants of the “Scott Brown, Scott Brown” became louder and louder as the numbers increased, there was no way to counter them.

Read the rest of Da Tech Guy’s report, which is heartbreaking enough to make you (almost) feel sorry for the Democrats. What has made such a huge difference for the Brown campaign? For one thing, there is the determination of volunteers nationwide who answered the call – like Vietnam War veteran Randy May:

Think about that. This man who fought and bled for his country says: 

“I woke up about six months ago and realized I had let my country down. . . . We need to get everybody off the couch, into the street and do something.”

So he spent his own money and drove 1,600 miles to help Scott Brown. The liberals don’t like it, but remember that they spent eight years telling us that “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
