After this week’s dreary news out of Kansas, we owe Hot Air readers a pleasant surprise, and this may be it. Martha Coakley, who lost a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by the death of Ted Kennedy four years ago despite the near-total grip Democrats have on Massachusetts, may be in the process of losing another election. Republican gubernatorial nominee Charlie Baker took his first lead in the Boston Globe poll series, edging Coakley barely, while neither candidate looks to be catching fire:
Republican Charlie Baker has edged ahead of Democrat Martha Coakley in the race for governor, taking the lead by the slimmest of margins for the first time in the Globe’s weekly poll.
The survey found the hypothetical general election race in a statistical dead heat, with 38 percent of respondents saying they would support Baker for governor, a slight edge over the 37 percent who said they favor Coakley. Though Baker’s lead remains well within the margin of error, it shows movement in a race between the two likeliest candidates for the November election.

Did you get a load of Miss Piggy in post 8? Is she a police chief or head of the Prussian Army?
Speaking of Brown, rat pollster PPP has him trailing by 6 50%-44%, confirming that race is tightening.
Beulah Balbricker got a promotion.
DJ also makes some valid points.
But when your choices are 3 broken toes or an amputation of said leg, what do you do? I’ll take the toes and go from there...
“Policettes”: Nah, I won’t say anymore.
This one makes the one from “Fargo” look ok. And that’s kinda hard to do.
Technicaly Swift was never elected governor and thank heaven for that.

I thought his dying wish was to be buried in a barrel of Irish whiskey.
You think she would have been worse than Mitt?

Yes. Yes. She actually packed the courts full of completely unqualified judges on her way out the door.
Ted Kennedy - a blonde in every pond!
The only reason Swifty was run out was because she was on track to losing badly to an actual Democrat in 2002. Willard made it appear he was coming in to save the MA GOP. We all know how that went...
I remember reading a news article that wondered if Romney would “ride in” like a “White knight” or some sheet like that. Funny.
Who in their right mind would want to be gubernator of the massholes?
That’s exactly what I described it as back in 2002. At the time, knowing of his obvious Presidential ambitions (that he would run in 2008, delayed 12 years by his failure to defeat Ted Kennedy in 1994), I stated it would be curious to see how he did as Governor. My question was answered in short order. Took less than 2 years to confirm he was a total disaster and regarded the office as a “nuisance.” The last person claiming to be a Republican we needed as President.

An impossible combination, even. A Social leftist cannot be "fiscally Conservative" in any way. It costs money to fund social leftism.
Of course it’s gibberish!!!
