"Five Memes Destroyed by Scott Brown’s Victory"; Conventional wisdom was also defeated on Tuesday night. January 22, 2010 - by John Hawkins/Pajamas Media (DP: Use the link to read the extended explanation of each point)
On Tuesday night, Scott Brown shocked the world by defeating Martha Coakley and capturing the seat that Ted Kennedy held for more than 40 years. It was a momentous election, not just because it featured a Republican ending the Democrats’ filibuster-proof majority by capturing a seat in deep-blue Massachusetts, but because it shattered a number of memes that have been treated in many circles as conventional wisdom:
1. The GOP is just a regional party that’s limited to the south...
2. There has been a political realignment...
3. Health care reform is a winning issue for the Democrats...
4. Conservatives want to drive moderates from the party...
5. Barack Obama’s charisma can carry the Democrats through to victory.
