Last night, Twitter was exploding with commentary on the Scott Brown election last night. Here are some of the best — or in some cases merely notable — tweets of the evening:
@jmgehrke: Someone should send Gergen a fruit basket for that “Kennedy seat” line which set up “The People’s Seat” line for Brown.
@outofmyoven: The Truck Czar–I am sure we have one. RT @PatrickRuffini: Who retires tomorrow?
@ewerickson: I think from tonight on, we must call Jim DeMint “Wellington.” Because Obama has been crushed at Waterloo.
@MatthewGagnon: The MA race shows that you can run a positive, optimistic campaign while getting slimed, and still win
@toddeherman: Hmm …Do I smell cigarette smoke coming from the White House residence quarters?
@kathrynlopez: this is a victory for pickup trucks everywhere
@jstrevino: The beauty, people, is that the Democrat activist base will react to this by demanding a party even further to the left.
@JayCost: Honest advice for Obama: fire Emanuel or Axelrod or Jarrett. Bring in wise poo-bahs who know how DC works.
@JonHenke: Give credit to Sen. Mitch McConnell. He held off 60 Democrats on a lot of issues for a long time.
@benpolitico: Notes GOPer: ‘Remember all those deadlines dems set? If they even met one of them they would have a health care bill done.’
@ezraklein: This seems like fairly decisive evidence that the dream can, in fact, die.
@ExJon Maddow criticizes Massachusetts for sexism. Immediately follows it by mocking Sarah Palin.
@EliLake: Howard Dean is pretty gracious I have to say. Deflated and gracious.
@thinkingmonkey Not to sound stupid, but what’s a “R-Mass”? Oh, wait…never mind!
