The thing is, there is NO enthusiasm for Coakley around here--none. I live in Boston and I have not seen ONE--I repeate, I have not seen ONE sign for Coakley. I have seen a grand total of three bumper stickers for her since the race began.

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.

Darkwolf - I concer, I live in Norwood - Brown signs everywhere - no Coakley signs at all - NONE. Today I travelled down to Scituate and didn’t see one Coakley sign in the 10 or so miles off the RT3 to my destination - tons of Brown signs. Same with overpasses - Brown signs no Coakley, same with bumper sticker - seriously if we don’t win it was stolen.

Your firsthand observations are interesting. Just from what little I’ve seen from a distance, she doesn’t seem like a real likable person. Cool and kind of high-strung, not the kind of person that you instinctively want to trust.

I’ve also noticed that liberal females can be pretty catty toward OTHER liberal females, almost like an “Alpha female” thing. Bottom line is the Independent vote, which is heavily in Browns favor. Living in Illinois, I know all about being stuck in a Blue State, but there are a lot of disenchanted Democrats out there too. Unemployment, financial worries, and the future of children and grandchildren don’t follow party lines.

Good luck Scott Brown!

I have alot of family in RI and an Aunt and Uncle who live in Needham (just outide of Boston) and they say the same thing you do about the campaign. But still they say they will be stunned if MA puts a Republican in the Senate.

My fear is the SEIU arriving in Boston. I fear their fraud will turn a close race in Coaklys favor.

wow! What a shot in the arm this would be for every Republican candidate in America. It is actually fitting that it’s all happening in Boston...Now...let’s hope the next four days brings no huge surprises!

Do you really believe that Brown can win in Boston? Have you asked your Ds friends who they will vote for?
Please, give me hope...

How realistic is it to be able to combat the Democratic Party machine though? It’s probably as bad if not worse than Philadelphia and it is very difficult to do in Philly.

I'm a Southerner, born and bred, but I visited Boston just once and was much taken with the people there. The ones I came in contact with (businessmen, shoppers, cops, clerks, waiters, airport workers, drivers) were smart, kind, and down-to-earth. Real people. You folks deserve better than Ms. Coakley. Please vote for Mr. Brown and warn him that you'll turn him out, too, if he forgets who elected him.
