Change in the political landscape

I was pleased with Scott Brown's upset win in the Massachusetts special senatorial election--not just because I am a conservative but more importantly because I am suspect of the government when the executive branch and the legislative branch are of the same party and the latter holds a majority of votes--especially a super majority. Far better if there is a balance so that all parties are forced to cooperate with each other, limit the contentiousness and generate legislation that more equitably represents the concerns of all Americans, not just the right or the left.
