You may be a Scott Brown voter if:

...You’re in a union, and you’re going to have to pay a 40 percent tax on your “Cadillac” health-care plan if Martha Coakley gets a chance to vote for Obama’s health-care rationing bill.

...You’d like to send a message to the limousine liberals who are driving this state and this country off a cliff.

This is as close to voting on ObamaCare that the American people will get.

The Herald’s the more conservative alternative to the NY Times-owned Boston Globe. And Howie’s great, seldom taking prisoners, let alone Miranda-izing them.

I made a donation from afar. I won’t volunteer to call .. one thing I HATE about elections is the phone ringing off the hook with every candidate and everyone who supports him/her. For the week before elections I basically won’t even answer my phone.

I know the odds are against him, but it would be oh, so sweet for him to pull off a win.

From Beckwith at another post Here

I’m in Massachusetts.

Scott Brown can win here, but it’s going to take the National Republican Party’s support. They have been pretty quiet here.

If you guys in other states will email the National Republican Party to get on board, that will help a lot.

Financial support would also help, but flooding the party with emails is job 1.

No, by law, only Democrats are allowed to receive the votes of out-of-staters, deceased (the out-of-planers, since they no longer reside on this plane of existence), felons in prison (since that is where most of the members of the MA General Court live or will be shortly retiring to) and illegals in Massachusetts. Also, by law, Democrat Local Election Clerks are allowed to throw out Republican ballots or count them as Democrat votes, whichever is needed. Sorry.

Of course I want him to win, but I don't see it. best case, he eeks it out by a few hundred or few thousand votes. Then the demholes steal it, just as they did for Franken and the Gov out in WA state a while back.

On the other hand, Brown only needs to get within a few percent to scare the hell out of the other demholes. this in conjunction with Obies sinking numbers, will make some of the vulnerable dems start to look after themselves and not follow Obama, Reid and Pelosi (aka: Larry, Moe and Curly, with aplogies to Larry, Moe and Curly) over the cliff...

Actually, we may be in a better position in MA where vote fraud is concerned because the unions and education overlords have the voting public so programed to pull the D lever the Dem bosses don't think they need to engage in fraud. Everywhere else for a Republican to win by 1 point they really need to win by 15 - 20 points just to cancel out the fraud.

I agree. Except it's not Americans, it's just the folks in MA.

Although I wish I could vote for Brown.

Why not? Massholes go up there and vote. NH really needs to change the same day voter registration!

Chuck, if we in MA elect SB, ObamaCare is kaput in the Senate, as he’s the 41st vote. Not even Lindseed or the Maine Twins are going to flip on this one.

From that viewpoint, we are voting either with (Brown) or against (Coakley) the American people to stop ObamaCare.

And Coakley is starting her TV blitz. WAY more airtime over the last 36 or so hours. Hmmm...maybe’s she’s seen the poll numbers?!?!

Have you seen this article?

Brown decries conservative group's anti-Coakley ad

January 7, 2010

BOSTON—A conservative group is joining Republican Scott Brown in his effort to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley and her bid to succeed the late Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, although Brown says he opposes the outside intervention.

It highlights Brown's pledge to oppose tax increases and Coakley's recent comment that the country needs "to get taxes up." She was referring to tax collections from increased employment, and her aides immediately branded the commercial as an attack ad.

"It's unfortunate that Scott Brown and his supporters have resorted to these desperate, negative attacks funded by extreme right-wing groups," said Coakley spokesman Corey Welford.

An AFF spokesman, Nick Ryan, dismissed the criticism.

"I don't think it's negative, unless you're uncomfortable with people knowing you want to raise taxes," he said.

Brown said in a statement, "I wish this weren't happening."

He added: "This race is not going to be decided by outside groups.
