Scott Brown (R) victory in Massachusetts for the U.S. Senate seat previously held by late Ted Kennedy and other Dems for over 5 decades makes headlines across the nation.

Just a sampling of headlines from across the nation - I could only get through the Eastern States, top to bottom.  But the coverage is pretty much the same across the nation. 

My take:: Scott Brown managed to get his name out across the country and he is well positioned if he wants to run for 2012.
