"Tonight the Independent Voice of Massachusettes Massachusetts Has Spoken"

Crowd: "Gas up the truck! Gas up the truck!"

"Forty-one! Forty-one! Forty one!" (looking ahead to forty first GOP vote in Senate)

Brown: "This seat belongs to no party, this is the people's seat!

("People's seat! People's seat!")

I have spoken to Senator Paul Kirk, and he has completed his work as Senator."

("Seat him now! Seat him now!")

"I am ready to go to Washington and begin my work without delay."

Now he's talking about Ted Kennedy. And how his name will always be remembered with respect.

Yeah.

Ted Kennedy's Dream Dies of Chronic Alcoholism and Pissed Off Tea Partiers, But Mostly... Well, It's a Muddle of Both Isn't It?

Respect like that I imagine.

Brown: "I thought it was just me against the machine. But it was us against the machine. Tonight -- you are the machine!"

Hmmm. Both of his daughters are available to date, he says. Damn, he is a good campaigner.

Challenges Obama to a basketball game on phone. Will take his baller daughter Ayla and Obama's best second and play two on two.

"Time to get down to the people's business."

Thanks John Kerry (um), Paul Kirk (um), and Mitt Romney.

("Mitt! Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!")

Wants to say hello to his "new colleague, John McCain."

"The people do not want a trillion-dollar health care bill.... We can do better."

"Prosecutions exist to protect us... Our tax dollars should pay to protect us, not pay their lawyers."

Talks about Democrats not thinking they could lose.

"What happened in Massachusetts can happen all over America."
