REPUBLICAN SCOTT Brown still needs a political miracle to win Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. But a cool opponent is giving him hope.

I wish Brown well but in a state that runs 3 to 1 in favor of DemocRATS, I’m not going to hold my breath.
STOP Amnesty for illegal aliens
lol. Please give a better reason than that. Be realistic. McCain and Graham LOVE illegal Aliens. In fact, the Democrats were stupid to not start with illegal immagration which is going to pass 70-30 in the Senate. I hate the amnesty bill even more than the medical insurance bill. Oh sorry, you can’t use global warming either because Graham has mentioned he wants to be the 60th vote. There are other examples out there though. :)
Brown’s positions should be poison to Massachusetts voters who sent Kennedy to Washington for 47 years.
Healthcare reform was the cause of Kennedy’s life. After he died, Paul G. Kirk Jr., a Kennedy family confidante, was appointed interim senator to make sure he would be the 60th vote in favor of pending legislation. Brown pledges to be the 41st vote against it - even though, as a state senator, he voted for the Massachusetts plan that serves as the national template.
Kennedy was prochoice. Brown said he supports Roe v. Wade. But, he’s backed by Massachusetts Citizens for Life, an antiabortion group whose website states it supports Brown “because he will be a prolife vote in the Senate.’’ Kennedy might call that “multiple choice,’’ the line he used against Republican Mitt Romney during their 1994 showdown.
Kennedy unequivocally said that waterboarding was torture. Brown’s position: “I believe that it’s not torture. America does not torture. We used aggressively enhanced interrogation techniques.’’ This puts Brown at odds not only with Kennedy, but with Senator John McCain of Arizona, the GOP 2008 presidential nominee who recently endorsed him.
The ideological divide between Brown and Kennedy is huge. But, Brown still had the chutzpah to try to steal the Kennedy mantle by running an ad that puts him in the same fiscal camp as John F. Kennedy.
Brown has a great chance in this special election - the only race on the ballot - and the Kookley is running an awful campaign for an awful candidate, versus a fine candidate running an exceptional campaign. In the middle of the winter, this will soon turn on GOTV and the weather. The alternative for this seat held by a communist for a half-century is a woman to the left of the swimmer. Scott is clearly to the left of Demint - not gonna get a Demint here in MA, but I can safely say he is to the right of Collins, Snowe, McPain, and Gramnesty.
“I wish Brown well but in a state that runs 3 to 1 in favor of DemocRATS, I’m not going to hold my breath.”
No one is asking you to hold your breath, nor, for that matter, are they requesting your best wishes. They’re asking for money. Can you spare a few cups of coffee and send him 5 bucks?
Yes, but there is a huge block of independents, so the electorate is not 3 to 1 in favor Democrats, only those who have registered for a given party. Democrats are outnumbered by independents and Republicans and there are more conservatives then liberals in Massachusetts according surveys. So, say 3 to 1 is an exaggeration of the odds.
And dont forget, MA has elected more Republican Gov’s in the past ten years than Dem’s.
The folks on the ground are pissed off. Mass Health is a mess. Not only does it cost a fortune, but access to doctors is getting killed because of all of the people on the rolls.
Dont let the Dems take THAT show on the road. It should “close in Boston.”
I gave this guy money, and I dont have any money to give anyone. I am going without to support this guy. YOU should do the same thing.

Mitt Romney still thinks it was a success. That's what he told Gretchen Carlson on FOX the other morning.
Right. Our Republican Governers aren’t very conservative, but sometimes the voters want “adult supervision” for the state legislature.
It can happen. The elements are there for a perfect storm. Coakley is not a Kennedy, even left leaning independents are shaking their heads at Zero, and the Conservatives are motivated. The only thing I’m not sure of are the moonbats. (It hurts trying to think what they’re up to). Add some bad weather and I think it is possible.
This is a pivotal time for our nation. Help MA land a sock on the jaw to the zero-bama agenda. DONATE!
>>It’s actually less than 2 to 1 (37% to 21%). Indies are number one with 42%.<<
The numbers in 2008 were greater than 3:1, unfortunately, and I doubt that’s changed much. However, unenrolled (independents) outnumber even the Dems. If they break 3:1 for Brown as in Rasmussen’s recent poll, you get almost exactly an equal number of Brown voters versus Coakley voters (assuming all Dems vote Coakley and all Reps vote Brown)
What this will come down to is turnout, and turnout depends on energy. The energy in this race is definitely with Brown, so I think he’s got an excellent chance.
I sent a donation. How much support is Brown getting from the national party?
Amen. You read my mind! I’m about to donate again. Go, Scott!
I would send him $100 but his filters blocked my VIsa card and he won’t take PayPal.
Tell him to talk to O about getting more donations ...
and yes I am an American citizen.
Not a big fan of Mitt for reasons other what you see on FR. All politics are local, and Mitt blew it in WMASS a few years ago.
No use for him. Hopefully Brown will work out better.
Thank you.
From what I have heard not much. I got an email from the RNC just now that points to Brown’s web site for donations.
