I guess the unions couldn’t afford to hire volunteers at the time and a half holiday rate.

I don't know what union that is but my union pays double time and a half if you have to work on a holiday.

Needless to say, we don't work much on holidays.

ROTFLOL.
Oh dear, what is Marcia to do?
Or is it Marsha?

Rasmussen has Brown up by 7. Was just on Hannity saying it.

unfortunately, some FReepers are confusing Rasmussen's poll from last week--which showed a 2-point Coakley advantage--with this week's numbers, which he has not posted...

[imskylark]

I was listening to Hannity. I thought he said Coakley by 2 but those likely to vote had Brown by 2.

I believe that happened this morning at her phone banks. The teachers were supposed to be volunteering time this a.m. for her at some phone bank beginning at 9. At 9:20, empty room.

that’s right....I’ve got you an Assembly!

That’s 3rd. Period, 4th. Period, 5th. Period....

Yesterday, liberal Salon Magazine reported Coakley was unable to warm up the meager crowd of loyal Democrats for Obama.

Today, it is up to Coakley and it appears she is again not up to the task.

“”President Obama speaks at a campaign stop for Democratic senate candidate ...
The nominee herself had not yet ignited the crowd when the president appeared.””

She’s cooked. All she has left now are the mercenary union professional voters and the Harvard faculty.

We had sleet/snow overnight here in rural Upstate NY. I would estimate about 5 inches of the heavy algore residue. By 9 am the side roads were clear for driving and the slush was melting.

I'm praying for the same clean road conditions in Mass. tomorrow.

If I was a politician I don’t think there is anything that would be worse than what is happening in this case...as an every day conservative voter I can’t think of anything better.

McCain had similar lousy turnouts for his rallies in the waning days of his campaign. We all know how that election panned out.

Rassmussen said Coakley is 2 ahead

As with the hundred other posts saying the same thing since early this morning, you provide no link. Rassmussen never said that. At least not this week.

[Izzy Dunne]

I'll to go with 3/4 full in the vacant section. The remainder totally empty.

LOL!

thanks for clearing that up...

"sleet and snow should help Brown I would think."

Yes! his voters would have pick-up trucks!

[MortMan]

Marsha is toast, too!

[noah]

Why can’t we get TV cameras into this Gym NOW?

[hoosiermama]

Since in Ma maybe it should be MAHshuh!

[Jeff Chandler]

Ted filled 3/4 of a school gym with his ass.

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

[Eddie01]

“MAHshuh”

A freeper from MA posted similar earlier noting an “r” on the end.

[Clioman]

“Ted filled 3/4 of a school gym with his ass.”

And the the remaining fourth was filled with the girls that he and Chris Dodd had molested.
