In the U.S., voters successfully "thrown out" the long-time Democratic camper on the seat and opt for Republican this round.
It just may not be that the Democrat did anything unpleasant during Kennedy's nearly 50-year term, but a change would certainly bring fresh air to the legislature climate and prevent the chance for corruption to breed when one single party hogs the government for a long time.
Wise choice! The voters had exercised their constitutional rights well.
Congratulations to the Massachusetts residents!
