Don't look now, but Republican Scott Brown leads Democrat Martha Coakley by one point, 48 to 47 percent, in Public Policy Polling's new poll of the January 19 special Senate election in Massachusetts.
Brown is benefiting from depressed Democratic interest in the election and a huge lead among independents for his surprisingly strong standing. Those planning to vote in the special election only report having voted for Barack Obama in 2008 by a 16 point margin, in contrast to his actual 26 point victory in the state.

BTTT
Still stealable.
As Stalin put it, it doesn’t matter who votes. It only matters who counts the votes.
It’s going to take much more than 1 point to overcome all of the dead voters and revoters that the vote counters will include.
That’s an interesting point. Forget what Deval Patrick decides to do, there’s nothing stopping Coakley from delaying certification by filing suit, even if the Scott’s margin is insurmountable.
Sigh. Man, the quest for power is a depressing game sometimes.
Not by the Soros machine.
You’re not looking at internals. The Rasmussen poll and the PPP poll are much closer than that when you do. Rasmussen has him down by two with people who are definitely going to vote.
The Globe poll says it’s a poll of ‘Randomly selected likely voters’, but it’s not only suspicious, but it’s old, having been conducted Jan 2 through Jan 6.
Both Rasmussen and PPP have Scott winning independents by huge numbers and a sky-high favorable rating. PPP has it higher than McDonnell’s was in VA the day before he won by 17 points. Rasmussen’s approval index for Scott is +20 while Coakley’s are -2.
The data is screaming that Scott Brown is going to win this thing. Myself, I’m not making any predictions, but to those of you who think the Dems are going to cheat their way out of this, I have one question: Do you think they just decided NOT to try and cheat their way to victory in NJ???
People also do themselves a disservice by discounting what PPP has to say simply because they are a Dem polling outfit. I’ve found their work to be quite accurate most of the time. They borked NY23 during the weekend that Scozzafava dropped out, but check their numbers on McDonnell and Christie before you label them worthless. One of the candidates dropping out in the middle of the poll can skew the hell out of the numbers, so I’m inclined to give them a pass there.
It would be very cool if they did (even if it were a RINO like Brown), but they won't.
But if they did, it would send shockwaves through the Country and bode well for the 2010 elections.
Doesn’t matter. We’re talking ACORN voter fraud, DemonRat handout-pass around money, Demon Rat district count fraud! These communists will NEVER allow Coakley (the slut!) to lose! May she rot in hell for what she did to Gerald Amirault!!!!!!!

The only chance the democRat party has of surviving is to lose their majority in either the House or the Senate.
Delaying tactics are many; however; if you extrapolate the ACORNing to the ‘10 general election, I believe that we can’t tolerate becoming an 0Banana Republic.
Nonsense. ACORN and SEIU thugs will ensure that the Boston vote for Coakley is 138%.
Funny, but I’ve never looked at it as a quest for power. I always looked at it as doing the right things for my country. DemonRats desire power, I just desire a free country where we do the right things.
Very good point. Their poll started January 2nd!
They’re bringing Clinton in, they’re worried.
Go Scott.
Methinks you are 100% spot on correct there.
Good and fair question.
The RATs risk assessment of upsetting the angry voters, getting investigated (think ACORN publicity) and being discovered isn't worth the risk for an election of a governor.
The 60 Th vote in the Senate is worth cheating and an investigation. If nothing else, an investigation will delay seating Brown for the crucial HC and 0b0z0's agenda votes.
I put myself in their shoes (stinky! LOL) and I would take the risk on something that valuable, definitely not on Corzine!
