Hell. Ice. Some Assembly Required.

The people of Massachusetts have just elected a Republican to replace Ted Kennedy in the United States Senate.

Congratulations, Senator-elect Scott Brown (R-MA)!

UPDATE: Only 96% precincts reporting, as of 10:07 PM!

Plenty of time for the MGC to convene and enact a law giving Deval Patrick the power to appoint a permanent replacement for Kennedy's senate seat.
