This kind of stuff always pisses my off. The people of Massachusetts voted for the person they want to represent them in Congress. That's their choice to make. Rachel doesn't get to decide that they're delusional because they've come out in record numbers to vote for their choice.
They're delusional, because Brown is a fool in many ways and the Republicans in general are still the same bunch of morons who supported Bush 100% and ran the economy into the toilet. Electing more of them is the wrong way to go right now, and a bunch of purity trolls throwing fits b/c of lack of progress on health care reform and other issues is a delusional thing to do.

Oh, please... We've got a two party system in this country that sucks no matter which way one swings the bat. Folks didn't like Bush so they gave the entire legislative and executive branches to the Dems to control. oops... We find ourselves in the deepest recession since the depression and they're swing back to the Republicans. They aren't delusional -- they're playing the system the only way the system allows them to play.
We found ourselves in the recession due to the mismanagement of the party who thinks that any regulation you've ever seen is a bad one. They actively did nothing - (I don't mean that they didn't know that markets existed, or that that much money was in them, but that they actually
chose not to regulate) - did nothing to regulate the markets which crashed and are currently arguing that they don't NEED new regulations, that they will 'hurt business.' Many of the Republicans in both houses consistently argue that the
banks and investment houses can self-regulate!
Handing the reins to people who believe that, in the face of what happened, is delusional.
Not that I think this election had as much to do with that, as it did a weak Dem candidate in a poor political environment.
