Charlie Cook and Stu Rothenberg are two of the best, they were the ones who foresaw the 1994 tsunami.

Agreed. The goons are so incompetent, they can't even steal an election and their clumsy attempt game Intrade is pathetic!

Terrific!

My real concern now is that Obama is going to rally the base- if he can do that this is going to be much closer..

He failed to save Corzine despite 3 visits to the Garden State, hopefully the same will happen in MA.

Glenn Beck will be tempted to remix his Gloatfest 2004 video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCO-BUe9gwo

Have you seen this video yet EGPWS?

We are seeing the same thing. I interpret it to be that intrade is showing almost a dead heat, with a very slight edge to Brown (maybe not enough of an edge to keep the Democrats from stealing the election).

Just got a note from Charlie. Coakley should be up by ten, but bad candidate, terrible campaign manager, good news only pollster have combined to make this turn for Brown.

Internals: R, Brown +5 D, Brown +2 or 3. Trend to Brown.

Turnout dependent, but would rather be Brown than Coakley at this point.

Worth noting:

"Last-minute Democratic attacks on Brown have driven his negatives up some and slightly diminished the incredible intensity of support that Brown enjoyed,"

No.

THANK YOU for finding it though for I remember almost going off the road just before the I-35 bridge on Hiawatha ave in MPLS while commuting home when I heard this live on his radio show!

I was laughing so hard I was teary eyed, : - D

I've loved Glenn Beck ever since.

THANK YOU again trussell!

Maybe, but things don’t look great on intrade.

this doesn't make sense... isn't InTrade showing the same slight edge for Brown?

The Democrats have to accuse Scott Brown of being a racist in order to panic and bring out the base. I am surprised they haven’t done that yet!

I have been making phone calls all day for Scott Brown and the reactionn is very positive 6-1 in favor of Brown. Maybe the Coakley supporters just let the phone go to voicemail?

I stopped making calll at around 430 pm, because some were complaining they were getting too many phone calls for Scott Brown! :) I guess that’s good, but I think I will stop calling for a while. Will see what the polls look like tomorrow.
