Brown by 5
Listen live right now to Howie Carr in Boston at wrko.com for the latest take.
Funny, the only negative things I’m hearing about Brown are from a few freepers.
Here in Mass, there’s energy I haven’t seen since Ronnie, the people are behind him, and more are falling in line daily.
It’s amazing, we have friends who have worked the phone for Brown, and they say that all the independent/unaffiliated voters they talk to, over 90% are breaking for Brown. There are also allot of Dems breaking his way.
But everyone in Mass needs to keep working hard like he’s 15% down still, we caqn’t let up one iota!
Ping for your opinion.
I live in north-central MA, an area that is typically somewhat less Communist than the Boston metro area. Brown lawn signs outnumber Coakley signs 4:1.
Someone that I am close to recently posted a note of support for Brown on Face Book.
I was quite surprised as this person is not the sort I would expect that from.
Face Book is where the real pulse can be taken.
I love FR.com, but this site is comprised of a certain mind set by and large.
OTOH, Face Book has a broader range of opinions (ignorant or whatever) and this race is breaking for Brown.
Not to sound like Pauline Kael (”no one I know voted for Nixon”) but I’ve yet to hear from anyone who is voting for Coakley. Lawn signs are 10 -1 for Brown.
I stopped by Brown’s campaign office in Danvers this AM to see if some stickers or buttons were available. Everything is gone. I took a Hudak for Congress sticker instead(running against John Tierney)
The people I know who are going to vote for Coakley are strangely quiet.
I just hope the margin Brown wins by is enough to keep the SEIU and ACORN types out of the equation
Should we hope for bad weather? The typical RAT drone voter won’t go to the polls if it’s too inconvenient.
Listen on line wtkk 96.9 Jay Sevren show. He just had Rudy G. on. he has been taking calls from people who were at the Rudy/Scott rally.People love him like he’s Tom Brady.
I volunteered and made over 400 calls for him and it was all good.5-1 in favor of Scott.
To get a better flavor listen here great radio show locally.

Thanks everybody for the input; and so quickly after I posted. And, btw, DeusExMachina05, I’m listening to Howie live right now.
THANKS.
I live in NH but work in MA. Every other radio ad is anti-Brown and a lot of the TV ads are negative. I honestly think it is actually driving more people to Brown but cannot say for certain. The Dems seem desperate that is for sure.
Hi, From my view here in Metro West (30 miles west of Boston) I’m definitely encouraged, I staged my own little FReep at lunchtime holding my Scott Brown sign at a major intersection near route 495, and I was amazed at the amount of people waving and honking their horns in response.
This is liberal TAX-achusetts and I’m getting a sense that people HERE are concerned about where president zero is taking us. I think people are waking up to the fact that we have a chance, a big chance to take some control back from an arrogant government. I really think we have a shot here, based on the enthusiasm I’m seeing.
Donate if you can, Scott Brown is up in the polls (amazing !) If he can gain further points, it will more difficult for the rats to cheat !
May God Bless this effort !

Brown’s got momentum; expect the desperate Globe to print last minute naked pics; Coakley continues gaffes with anti-catholic slurs; if Brown wins expect Coakley to sue; then expect Mass dems to delay seating Brown or Reid same.
In Medway, a lot more Brown signs than Coakley signs. When Brown campaign called yesterday I asked for a sign and bumper sticker, they were out of them. I wrote Vote 4 Scott Brown in soap on my back windshield.
for once, I feel like my vote might actually count on Tuesday and can not wait to vote for Scott Brown!!
The so-called “attack” ads are actually encouraging me even more to support Brown. Wish I were a democrat and could vote more than once.
I was listening to Hannity on the way home from work and a lady called in who had gone to the Brown website — apparently you can go there and log in to make phone calls to Mass regardless of where you live. She had signed up and made about 150 calls — only a small handful had either hung up or said no thanks. The vast majority listened and said they were voting for Brown.
I’m getting the feeling that it’s going to be like the 2002 gubernatorial race. They told us that it would be close and that we might not know who was the winner until maybe the next morning.
Well, polls closed here at eight, and by nine o’clock, it was 55-45 Romney and Shannon O’Brien had conceded.
My prediction 54-46 Brown.
I will be in MA this weekend for reasons unrelated to the campaign. If my time up there weren’t so booked up, I’d have been happy to pick up a sign and help. I will see if I can try to pick up on the mood of the state while there.
From what I hear from my conservative friend up there, he is very excited. He already voted absentee for Brown.
Some of my other contacts in MA seem relatively optimistic, a few think that not only will Brown win, but he’ll win by a margin similar to the one Christie won in NJ. We shall see.
Im amazed at the strong prevailing wind thats blowing across this very liberal state. People that I never would have dreamed are excited to vote for Scott Brown! Two Obama-voting liberal women that I know told me (separately) that they were voting for Brown. Each one said that they are sincerely frightened at the out of control spending by the Democrats in Congress. Theyre afraid of the Obamacare monstrosity, too.
Only a few hard-core local moonbats are sporting Coakley stickers. There is BIG TIME change in the wind! Scott Brown is going to win going away!
Bay State FReeper reporting, as requested.
Weather will NOT be a factor in the voter turnout on Tuesday, dagnabbit.
Local TV is PACKED with political ads, with 10 or more running in a row, back to back, around the dinner hour. People are getting sick of them. The TV ads are running about 8:1 for Coakley, which includes SEIU and DSCC ads. I’m almost amused at how they use the word “Republican” like a hideous insult. Brown might do well to remind people that we had low unemployment and no terrorist attacks after 9/11 under Bush. The Dem meme that Bush was the worst president EVER needs to be challenged.
People do NOT get real news from Boston media, so there has been next to no coverage of the shoving incident or the Massachusett(e)s or Twin Towers mistakes. People who get their news online are much better served than they are from Boston media.
Brown seems to connect with “real people” better while everybody knows Coakley is a hack. As a resident of Middlesex County, where she was the DA before becoming AG, I have a better memory of her lousy performance than most Bay Staters. Brown would do himself a favor if he took the gloves off and attacked her miserable record as both DA and AG. He should also spend more on printing up bumper stickers, which seem scarce.
From my perspective, independents and Republicans are heavily favoring Brown, while Democrats (as is typical in Massachusetts) would vote for Satan himself if he had a “D” after his name. That being said, I do detect some Obama remorse among Mass. Democrats (remember, Hillary beat The One here in the 2008 primaries) but it isn’t enough to carry the day. This one will be close.
I do sense some panic among the Dems, so watch out for dirty tricks. Poll watchers are needed in EVERY precinct to keep the graveyard voters in their tombs. Nobody I know ever admitted voting for Teddy, but he kept getting re-elected.
We would love to see Scott Brown visit the Merrimack Valley, but we know there are bluer corners of the state that need more attention. After Jim Ogonowski gave Niki the Dunce a good run, we know Republicans stand at least a fighting chance in the Lowell suburbs.
See you on Tuesday!
