The election results for the US Senate election in Massachusetts and the victory by Scott Brown is a political explosion. I have a couple of articles to post about it.

One thing's for sure. You may on paper outnumber your opponents' supports by a large number. But if only 10% of your side shows up at the polls and (thorough superior motivation) the other side shows up at a much higher rate, then the chances are you're going to lose.

The question is, what are you doing that keeps your side from being motivated to show up?

David Sirota offers the thought the superior motivation of the Republicans was due to the resurection of the ghost of Ronald Reagan made possible by the failings of the Democrats governing actions.
