Don’t get your hopes up. I don’t see a Pub winning the state.

With polls showing 50-41, Coakley will win 55-38 thanks to Acorn and the Dem machine.

Thanks. I posted it over at Hillbuzz.

We’ve got two weeks.

Oh please tell me we are not counting on the retards of the great People's Republic of Massachusetts to do the right thing.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has also learned that an earlier poll, done in mid-December by another firm for another client, had similar results in the ballot test—but that the poll also found that the race tightened significantly, down to a low single digits margin for Coakley, among those judged most likely to vote. Furthermore, a careful analysis by Sean Trende shows, that if one assumes a swing against the Democrats like that in New Jersey and Virginia two months ago, the race could become very close.

The Private Sector is outnumbered here in MA. It seems that everyone has a hack job, is an SEIU member, or on Welfare.

The Fox pollsters said on the radio this AM that the trend lines are going to Brown.

We should treat every election now as the last one we will ever have.

Donated to Brown because he for sure can't win if he doesn't have the money!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the vote totals are already loaded into the precinct machines and the press releases written.

Those numbers are pretty stunning. Too bad Brown doesn’t have more time and money. Plus I suppose this “independent” will screw things up if the race were to get really close. Still, if the Dem wins by only something like 55-45 it will be stunning. They will scream that their mandate to continue far left policies is strong but in reality this will be a sign to them that they are weak and in less “blue” states they are going to be in real trouble later this year.

Brown backers are far more motivated, especially in a special election where low turn out is expected.

Not absolutely necessarily at all.

Coakley is as good as the Teddy K. incumbent, and 50% is the key mark for whether incumbents are in trouble. Her voters aren’t as motivated as his, and there’s still two weeks left.

“We should treat every election now as the last one we will ever have. “

You have the right idea. Fight, fight... And sending $20 to Brown would help to, after of course doing same or better to Jim Robinson here.

"Coakley 50 Brown 41"

I hear it's a lot closer than that amongst those likely to actually vote.
