Pro-Obamacare Lobbyists Fighting Hard For Coakley
The Lid/washington examiner ^ | 1/10/10 | The Lid

A Boston Globe survey released today, showed Democratic candidate for Massachusetts Senator, Martha Coakley with a 15-point lead in the race to replace Teddy Kennedy, but a survey by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling found the race a dead heat, with Republican Scott Brown up 48% to 47%. What makes this scary for Democrats is that Mass. is their home ideological turf their candidate should be up 30% by now.

Indeed they should be frightened, that same Democratic Party run Public Policy Poll found that likely Bay State voters oppose the Obamacare plans by 47% to 41% and that they give President Obama only 44% job approval. It also found Republicans much more motivated to vote than Democrats.

Scott Brown has been campaigning against Washington's runaway spending, and has even called for a freeze on the wages of federal employees."It's not right that less-paid private sector workers suffering through a recession have to pay for expensive government salaries," he says, noting Ms. Coakley's many union endorsements. Regarding Obamacare, Brown notes that 98% of the state is already insured so any national bill will hurt Massachusetts.

The Democrats may be running scared, especially because if elected Brown could end up being the vote that kills Obamacare, but they are getting help especially from the special interests who are trying to help get the President's Health Care initiative passed.

Excellent expose by Sammy...

All the leading drug companies have lobbyists on Coakley's host committee: Pfizer, Merck, Amgen, Sanofi-Aventis, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Astra-Zeneca, and more. On the insurance side of things, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, HealthSouth, and United Health all are represented on the host committee.
