Martha Coakley has been compared to Samuel Parris, one of the main prosecutors in the Salem Witch trials.

Brown has another thing going added to Dem corruption, he’s in a state where residents like rooting for the underdog (redsox)

Martha Coakley’s Convictions

The role played by the U.S. Senate candidate in a notorious sex case raises questions about her judgment.

The story of the Amiraults of Massachusetts, and of the prosecution that had turned the lives of this thriving American family to dust, was well known to the world by the year 2001. It was well known, especially, to District Attorney Martha Coakley, who had by then arrived to take a final, conspicuous, role in a case so notorious as to assure that the Amiraults’ name would be known around the globe................

Merritt’s three recently expressed reservations, listed below, center on Coakley’s pivots around “hot potato” issues based entirely on Coakley’s whatever-it-takes political motives. Coakley also comes across as the nightmare image of a prosecutor, hellbent on winning a case no matter what tricks, including the manipulation of children, are required in order for her to win her case...

Expect a miracle!

Freepers Unite: Send contributions to Scott Brown for Senate! Any amount will help! I’ve contributed twice over the last three days.

I think it may be safe to begin calling her Martha CRoakley

A Brown victory wouldn't just slow Obama's agenda. It would pulverize it. Nothing that had to go through Congress would pass. No Obamacare, no Cap and Trade, no anything. God willing, no amnesty either. He wouldn't have the 60th vote, and the marginal Democrats would run from the Obama's agenda like scalded dogs.

The Democrats still think the 2009 off year election was just a fluke. If it happens in Massachusetts, no Democrat anywhere in the country is safe. The DNC isn't looking forward to a nationalized election.

Only if the NRC puts a gun to Snowe and Collins’ heads. But, the NRC might even grow a pair if Brown pulls it off.

It would definitely help, but it may be to late on HC. Coming out of conference it will be an up or down vote. 51 to 49 will pass it.

At this point it will have to be stopped in the House. Which is still possible.

NRC=RNC. Duh.

[Non-Sequitur]

A month ago I wouldn’t have believed it, but now I’ beginning to think Scott Brown could very well pull it off.

Nope, the bill from 'conference' will be different, and thus cloture still applies.

Fantastic video that should be seen by all.

Snowe and Collins may very well wish to keep their jobs.

They’ll take a look at the results from MA, and rightly determine that voting for Obamacare will lose them votes, not get them votes.
