The Republican Party has been defeated in the Bay State.

All that's left is a mop up operation.

90% of the State Senate is Democratic, 82% of the House.

There is no party infrastructure.

And Romney, who campaigned for Governor as a moderate then turned into an insane person, has left a horrible stench around what's left of the party.

Scotty Brown only had his moment in the spotlight because of disillusioned Dems avoiding the polls, and a brief surge of Tea Party enthusiasm. Those won't happen again, at least for some years.

Now Brown's staying home rather than engaging again in a battle that he'll surely lose.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next.
