As readers know, Republican Scott Brown won the special election in Massachusetts with a comfortable margin over Democrat Martha Coakly by a margin of five points.

I would like to point out that on Tuesday, Jan 12…

…The day Jay Newton-Small wrote on Time’s website that “Momentum in the special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat seems to be swinging back to the Democratic candidate…”

…The day a Resmmusen Poll gave Democrat Martha Coakley a two-point lead (and days before polls started showing a brown lead)…

…The day the Rothenberg Political Report wrote that “we continue to believe that Coakley will win…”

On that very day, I tweeted the following off of @yossigestetner: “I Predict that 1) Brown will win nxt wk the #MA Senate race, and 2) likely with five points-plus.”

I am not tapping myself on the back with that Tweet – I am only trying to bring some credibility to the table in regards to the upcoming November elections. Let me quote what I wrote December 12, 2009, in an online column, headlined “Forget About the 1994 Revolution.”

I wrote as follows: “Where things stand today in American politics, we all may just forget about the 1994 “Republican Revolution,” because the 2010 election will likely be worse for the Dems than was 1994… It is early to make a clear prediction, but it IS a VERY good bet that the Dems will lose a combined more seats between both houses, than the total 62 they lost in ‘994.”

Indeed, the first one to go was the MA Senate seat.
