Started our Massachusetts poll tonight...looks like it might be a real race
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Could you copy/paste for those of us who are not twitts....
That’s it. Nothing left but that.
Then thank G_d I am not signed up for such madness....
The headline is pretty much the entire tweet.
Yeah...it’s gotta be in 140 characters or less.
I don’t care what any poll says. If you could poll motivation and enthusiasm,its not even close Brown is leading big.They can’t keep up with lawn signs.
Scott is campigning on his terrific record and its catching on.Coakley can’t campign on her record because its shameful.
Scott really is a true leader by the way he is working his but off across the state and inspiring others to work just as hard by his example.He’s the real deal and for once I’ll be able to say I’m proud of my US Senator from Ma.
A tight race in Massachusetts is a Conservative losing by 10 or more percentage points.

Thoughts on Massachusetts
There’s all sorts of speculation and back of the envelope math being done right now on the Massachusetts Senate special election and whether Republican Scott Brown might be able to pull off a surprise there.
Dave Weigel reports that Rasmussen is going to be polling there tonight so that should give us a better idea but I thought it would be worth taking a look at what would happen if things played out in Masschusetts similarly to Virginia, which is a sort of Democratic worst case scenario. .......
Our MA freepers, friends, family...inlaws and outlaws, have to turn out EN MASSE, regardless of weather.
You’ve heard of Too Big To Fail?
They need to make this one Too Big to Steal.
Thanks for the post. It is encouraging.
Years ago I landed at Logan and took a taxi into Boston. As we entered the city, the taxi driver said, “Look out the window, two-thirds of the people you see are idiots.”
Said I: “Why do you say that?”
Said the driver: “That’s the percentage that vote for Ted Kennedy.”
I so hope that you are right. The people of Massachusetts have it in their power to save one sixth of the economy and shake the Washington elite with an earthquake.
No numbers. No data. Just a heads up looking at the raw data coming in. Not really news, just confirmation of another poll putting Scott Brown 9 points down and reports from the Brown campaign that internal polling shows a tie.
Most people dont even realize there is an election going on. I am getting up early and driving my elderly relatives to vote. These are dyed in the wool JFK supporters from way back. 5 Octogenarians who are going to go against their party and vote for Brown because they HATE the way congress is going.
Thats six votes for us. You have to DO something. Crossing off MA as a loss is not a reasonable course of action.
If you do not live here, go to his site and donate. A buck, $5, $10...anything.
Brilliant! The 2010 Elections: Too Big to Steal.
Remember that with 'Rats running things, a tie, or even a close victory for the 'Pub, will be defrauded into a loss. The electoral system is so crooked that to win the 'Pub must gain a super-majority. I hope Brown does it, I really do. But the combination of fraud, the 'Rat-controlled media, and the fact that is Masshole, makes it a tough battle.
thanks...
broken clock, etc.
Feel free to spread it around. I’m releasing the copyright. heh
And then there’s this:
Remember, the same people who wished Rush Limbaugh dead last week....want to control YOUR healthcare.

What we're seeing in Massachusetts
Because of the heavy interest we'll try to get our Massachusetts numbers out over the weekend. But because we've already conducted most of the interviews for it here are some of the major storylines we're seeing:
-At this point a plurality of those planning to turn out oppose the health care bill. The massive enthusiasm gap we saw in Virginia is playing itself out in Massachusetts as well. Republican voters are fired up and they're going to turn out. Martha Coakley needs to have a coherent message up on the air over the last ten days that her election is critical to health care passing and Ted Kennedy's legacy- right now Democrats in the state are not feeling a sense of urgency.
-Scott Brown's favorables are up around 60%, a product of his having had the airwaves to himself for the last week. By comparison Bob McDonnell's were at 55% right before his election and Chris Christie's were only at 43%. Coakley's campaign or outside groups need to tie Brown's image to national Republicans and knock him down a notch over the final week of the campaign.
This has become a losable race for Democrats- but it could also be easily winnable if Coakley gets her act together for the last week of the campaign. Complacency is the Democrats' biggest enemy at this point and something that needs to be overcome to avoid a potential disaster.

Scott Brown continues to climb. We may see ads linking him to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and others unpopular in Masachusetts.
The fact that there has been so little polling released on this is a positive thing for conservatives....
