Boston- As the results of this years mid-terms started coming in, it was clear that the Republican Party won big this year in a repudiation of the policies of President Clinton. In Massachusetts, Republican nominee for the US Senate Mitt Romney, the son of former Governor George Romney, managed to unseat a longtime member of the Senate, Edward "Ted" Kennedy, in an intense Senate race that saw criticisms of Kennedy's character as well as criticism of Romney's tenure as the CEO of Bain Capital. Romney, in his victory speech, declared that "The people of Massachusetts have spoken, and I will work to serve you well as a representative of the people in the Senate". His victory came very narrowly, winning over Senator Kennedy by a mere ten thousand votes. Senator Kennedy conceded the race gracefully, stating that he "wishes Romney well as he prepares to take office in January". Romney's win was among many for the GOP, which was able to take back both the House of Representatives and the Senate from the Democrats.
