Both candidates get better than 70% of the vote from members of their respective parties, but Brown leads 65% to 21% among voters not affiliated with either of the major parties.

Special elections are typically decided by who shows up to vote and it is clear from the data that Brown’s supporters are more enthusiastic. In fact, among those who are absolutely certain they will vote, Brown pulls to within two points of Coakley.

I think it would be grand if Brown won.

Best tactic: all right-minded folks get down to their town halls and cast their votes early.

Dems are demoralized...traveling around the state, you might see more old Kerry bumper stickers than O stickers..and having an idiot like Gov. Deval Patrick, that reminds everyone of the peter-principled O, is icing on the “had enough” cake...
