I am not a fan of polls because I keep on remembering the PPP poll that had Hoffman up by 20 in the New York 20th Congressional race..but how reliable are internal polls. If he is up by 11 points, why would Obama even bother going to MA..I believe that Brown is definitely leading, but not sure its by 11 points. Believe me I hope its true

CYA. If he doesn’t go and Brown wins, the precept ion is that he let the supermajority slip through his fingers. If he goes to MA and Brown still wins he can always blame Coakley for running a piss poor campaign. (They're already doing this, btw.)

Internal polls are reliable because the candidate pays to hear the truth... I called it earlier in the day for Scott Brown. I believe that's the Fat Lady singing.

elections are about turnout, and trying to predict who will turnout in a special election is particularly difficult.. more art than science.

We have to beat her by this large a margin to overcome the chicanery and outright massive fraud that is certain to be brought on by these bastards. If all goes well, and we follow through with the momentum Scott has given us to work with, the Dem fatcats have arrived just in time to be sucked down with the Titanic.

but we must, MUST, MMUUSSTT WORK OUR ASSES OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE CAN, WE MUST, WE SHALL!!!!!

He could win by 15...

I’m somewhat skeptical about these polls as well.

I hope Brown can pull it off, but this is the People’s Republic of Massachusetts we’re talking about!
