At this point Massachusetts Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley is running behind Republican Scott Brown for Ted Kennedy’s US Senate seat. According to the latest poll Brown leads Coakley by 5%.
Will Massachusetts finally have republican representation?
There are many polls - and they’re all showing a pretty decent lead! The so-called “bell weather” polls have him at double digits.
This is huge because it’s essentially a referendum on Obama-Reid-Pelosi nutjobs; and on on Obamacare. For that to happen in such a liberal state is, well, it’s well-neigh revolutionary.
It was a “hail Mary” on Obama’s part to come out here. If Croakley loses, his administration is pretty much toast. IMO. Heh.

He will need to win by at least 5 pts. to overcome the corruption, double voting and lost ballots the Dems will use to try and throw the election to Coakley. The Franken debacle shows what lengths they will got to when committing election fraud. Hopefully Brown wins by even more then the 5 pts. I think he needs.
HA HA HA HA!!! If Coakley doesn’t win, guess who’s fault it will be!

Welp, I got my fingers crossed for this Brown feller. It would be epic for a democrat to lose the bluest state in the nation. Nobody has more yellow-dog democrats than MA. I don’t want to say to much now…I am scared if I do, the dem will win.

Early signs of election fraud by the Dems out in broad daylight. Hope Brown can pull a 15% win.

I imagine it will all be about turnout (as usual), a low turnout will favor the Republican. The weather channel will probably tell you more about who will win than the polls.
It’s been snowing all day, but the turnout in MA has been HUGE. Scott Brown signs decorate the state. I have yet to see a Coakley sign or bumper sticker, other than those trucked along by exceedingly dour union dudes (paid to do so.) In 25 years, I’ve never seen so much excitement here over a Senate race.
The 3 tell cities are Gardner, Fitchburg, and Peabody, right next to where I live. As of this afternoon, Brown was leading by 14%, 17%, and 15% in each.
It’s like the Superbowl. But way more significant.
Going to the election night party in Boston tonight!
Word to the uninformed:
Mass. has had four Republican governors in the past decade alone:
How many of you knew that?
In light of the above, what is so “epic” about the election of a single senator?
I’ll tell you: Absolutely nothing.
You better hope that Brown loses so that you’ll all have something to bitch about for the next few years.

It’s no secret that MA likes to have Republican governors. This is likely due to Americans’ affinity for mixed government, and the fact that legislative officials from MA are overwhelmingly Democratic.
We haven’t had a Republican Senator in over three decades, and the closest anyone has come recently was when Romney lost to Kennedy 40-60 (or thereabouts) in the 1990’s. Even that margin was considered fairly astounding. Having a Senate seat that had been held by TED KENNEDY for decades go to a Republican is very “epic,” more so when you consider the implications of this Senate seat with respect to the health care bill.
By the way, listening to the radio right now and Coakley has conceded.
Yep - Brown Won!!! It’s the people’s Seat!!!
Good! I hope it means death to the Democrats stupid socialized medicine plans!
I’m actually giddy, B’Bye national health care.
Giddy - LOL - exactly.
I’m almost hoping those idiots try to ram things through anyway. That ought to finish the liberal/statists for at least a generation.
However, repealing the health care bill would require a 60 seat Republican hold on the Senate – not too likely – AND a Republican President.
So once rammed through it will be hard, probably impossible, to get rid of.

This is exactly correct.
That seat, months after the death of it’s occupant of 47 years, right in the middle of the possible realization of exactly what was said occupant’s lifelong mission, in a special election that was universally assumed to be a formality mere weeks ago, is a political earthquake of of the first order. Refusal to recognize that demonstrates a disturbing level of political nit-wittery.
It means at the very least a large lasso around the abominable ultra leftist nanny state anti American juggernaut that is the unholy trinity of Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Will it last? Probably not, but it’s reason to hold out one last shred of hope for this nation.
Now I know how it felt like to be on the other side in November 2008

True. And of course if the House wants they can simply sign the bill that the Senate has already passed. It doesn’t have to go back before the Senate at all.

yeah, but that seems like to much of a concession for Pelosi to take. Plus, this is pretty earthshattering - they’re going to have problems getting enough votes together. But still, Obama moonbats will double down and become even more openly authoritarian about their agenda.
Also, It’s really too bad because the healthcare thing is so toxic - and this gives them a chance to save face. Too bad they won’t take advantage of it.
