Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.
Although Brown’s 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News survey’s margin of error, the underdog’s position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.
“It’s a Brown-out,” said Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center. “It’s a massive change in the political landscape.”
The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.
It’s good news, but it has been posted 5 times already.
I think this is like the 15th time we’ve been shocked by this poll.
Frankly, I’d rather he surge over the weekend. Right now, the commie thugs there seem to be complacent and I’d like to keep them that way.
Enter the Boston Globe. There will be a slate of “Scott Brown Responsible for the Holcaust” stories coming out this week. And that will just be for starters.

Good news on where it is right now, but I worry about the actual vote...
Love that tag line. LOL
The dems have to be terrified at that number.
