.."Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.
Although Brown’s 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News survey’s margin of error, the underdog’s position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.
“It’s a Brown-out,” said Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center. “It’s a massive change in the political landscape.”
The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.
Paleologos said bellweather models show high numbers of independent voters turning out on election day, which benefits Brown, who has 65 percent of that bloc compared to Coakley’s 30 percent. Kennedy earns just 3 percent of the independent vote, and 1 percent are undecided.
Given the 4.4-point margin of error, the poll shows Coakley could win the race, Paleologos said. But if Brown’s momentum holds, he is poised to succeed the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy - and to halt health-care reform, the issue the late senator dubbed “the cause of my life.”...

This is so exciting!
You also notice the Messiah has been told to stay far far away from this race.

Our chance to defeat healthcare. Please pray.
Wow, keep the waves coming!
Brown outs....BROWN OUTS!!!
This news ought to make Martha real twitchy....maybe she’ll shoot herself in the foot again.
People actually like Brown as a person, and people who otherwise would have given in to the apparent inevitability of the dem taking this election are now enthused because there is a chance.
The enthusiasm for Brown is amazing, but the apathy toward Coakley is stunning.
at least stay away from ME!! lol......
this poll is usually dem leaning if you ask me, so I am thrilled...
This is great. Go Scott Go.
Calm down, folks. It ain’t Tuesday yet.
This is just a poll. I hope Brown isn’t peaking too soon.
And I’m not sure votes are all that count this time. No telling what kind of shenanigans the Dems have up their sleeves — or how many folks they’re busing in with fake IDs.
Hope Brown has plenty of poll watchers and lawyers ready to roll. This may not be pretty.
got a ping list? spread the news!
Martha Coaklee for Senater Lawn Sine!!!
I think that’s Obama’s choice not to stump for her, he doesn’t want to be embarrassed like he was in NJ and Virginia.
These polls are all over the place. Brown down by 15% in one. Brown up 1% in another. Brown down by 9% in one poll. Brown up by 4% in another.
The one thing all the polls have in common is Coakly is above or close to 50% in all of them. She is going to be tough to beat in the most Liberal state in the union. Browns only hope is Liberal voters stay home in droves.
Another thing to keep in mind the SEIU has arrived in Boston. Ballot boxes will be stuffed in favor of Coakly.

Anyone know if Doug Hoffman ever polled in the lead in NY23?
I bet Obama shows up.
I don’t know if people realize this or not; but democrats may be feeling secure in passing the healhcare bill knowing if they don’t get what they want off the bat; they can go in and add amendments without the the publics consent or knowledge. They can do pretty much anything they want. That’s why this bill can not pass in any form.
“This is so exciting!”
Very exciting, but you can be sure that Obammie will send in the thugs from SEIU and ACORN, along with millions of bucks to pay or beat Marxist sense into the voters.
The microcephalic prune is desperate.
Expect more campaign blunders over the long weekend.
