Today I was proven wrong(its not the first time nor will it be the last). Jim Geraghty posted of a source who ..tells me that the most recent internal poll of the Scott Brown campaign shows the Republican winning by... 11 percentage points. I'm getting the sense that the folks hearing this are almost a little incredulous, but it seems every demographic and key group is breaking to Brown in the past day or two. For weeks, Brown and everyone around him has said they will campaign and work as if they're 30 percentage points down. But it seems like the campaign has been one Coakley stumble after another, and you figure that would eventually start effecting the numbers. According to that measure, it's starting to break heavily in Brown's direction... but we'll have to see what the final few days bring.
Earlier today I received an email from a contact who works for a Political PR/Marketing firm in DC who said:

1) He will caucus with the R’s. So that helps them set the agenda (assuming a lot more wins in the future).
2) He is NOT pro-pro-pro-abortionist Martha Croakley. Far better him than her.
If Coakley was pro-life, I could see your point, but she’s one of the most radical pro-abortion politicians around. Remember that Coakley has argued that Catholics shouldn’t work in emergency rooms because of their pro-life beliefs.
It’s all about what the pro-life community can get. Brown wouldn’t be remotely acceptable in Oklahoma, but in Massachusetts, he’s the best we can get.
[This race is critical in defeating the anti-Constitutional health care bill. ]
Which would lock government funded abortion into law!
Isn’t that also one of those provisions that Harry Reid tried to lock in with the language that future congress’ couldn’t change it?
If Brown wins by 11%, I’m predicting a Lions-Raiders Super Bowl next year.
you have a choice of TWO pro choice candidates, of the two Brown is MUCH better. If Coakly wins Obamacare will get passed with its pro abortion provisions...is that what you would rather have happen?
Just wait and see. I am right 99.99% of the time.

Heck yeah. Since he will vote against the mandatory tax payer funded abortions included in the HellCare fiasco.

NO YOUR PRIORITIES.
If you are truly anti-abortion you would want that Brown vote to turn down Obamacare which will increase abortions, not decrease them, and even worse the law is being set up as to not be repealed. So you would sentence millions and millions of children to death over one Senate seat.
Some priorities.
A Brown victory would put the fear of God into the democrats. I think we both agree that is exactly what they need.
At this point, the Senate has several things they can do that will impact abortion-
1, vote for originalist judges. Of course, we won’t get any originalist judge nominees until Zero is out of office so this special election doesn’t touch that.
2, vote for laws that limit abortion. Brown is actually pro-life on many of these laws so this is a win.
3, IF a Constitutional convention comes up that gives an opportunity for a definition of life amendment, obviously every vote will count. However, even if you started today, that could take years to put together.
4, Kill the health care bill which funds abortions and makes them more available, again, another win with a Brown victory.
5, If by some odd chance, the SCOTUS does overturn Roe v Wade, then the State legislatures would have first crack at outlawing, followed by a federal ban possibly.
The two most realistic impacts to abortion, healthcare and laws restricting it, both are a victory for us with a Brown win. Being a purist in the mold of a Keyes only makes a major difference in #3 or #5- which are the most remote possibilities.
Where people need to demand purity is on the Presidential level as that will impact judges, on party platforms to guide the ship, and in local races as those have direct impacts on if abortion providers can set up shop.
Other than that, our next best thing is to personally be involved with each and every person who is facing that decision, offering yourself up as an adoptive parent (as we are trying to do), funding groups that provide adoption services, or personally helping those who choose life.
A bit? Why so charitable?
I agree with the poster who thinks you are mentally ill.
People like you with abortion as their one-all, be-all issue are going to bring this country into Third World economic hell.
If Brown is up by 10 or more, all the corrupt voting in the world can’t save Coakley.. if the final vote has brown win by double digits, its over for the Fuaxbama train wreck..
3 years of lame duck
Apparently, you won't puke if "pro-abortionist" Brown loses and Coakley wins. Can you explain that?
“Great....so we elect a pro-abortionist....ends justify the means, right? excuse me while I go puke.”
So go get involved in the primaries there and get someone better on the ticket.
But right now there are two choices for MA voters. Which one would you prefer to win?
Good dope. Mine in Fla has left the Crats and hates Obama now. And she is a lifetime Crat.
