I don’t think you’d ever see him in the Collins/Snowe/Specter category. He might not be as socially conservative as some Republicans in other parts of the country—but that’d never fly anyway. He really is deserving of a support and media blitz these last few weeks. I find it notable and suspicious that we’re not hearing more head-to-head polling with Coakley. I think she’s vulnerable, and though she could win 65-35, there’s also a chance of an upset. GOTV, $, and media coverage could all really help him.
If you heard his speech on primary night it was a red-meat speech that would play well in SC or WY for example - it was good.
Polling data has been zero on this race. Croakley IS NOT liked here. There is a chance for the upset here. I think the biggest factor will be GOTV. Some of the folks I've spoken with are apathetic.
That being said, most folks I've spoken with are voting for Brown/against ObamaCare.

I don’t think she got any endorsements from the 100% Rat Congressional Delegation during the primaries - the other canndidates got them. I don’t she is liked by anyone really.
If he is elected he will be called RINO by many for being a more moderate-conservative but I’ve seen nothing at all to indicate he’s scum like the Maine twins. He appears to be ok. He may be the most conservative remember of the MA Legislature.
