Republican Scott Brown leads Democrat Martha Coakley 48% to 45% in the special Massachusetts US Senate race to replace Senator Ted Kennedy in a telephone survey conducted January 12-14 among 600 likely voters in Massachusetts saying they will definitely vote in the special election on January 19.
Brown leads Coakley 94% to 1% among registered Republicans and he leads 58% to 37% among unenrolled voters. Coakley leads Brown 71% to 20% among registered Democrats. A total of 8% of Democrats and 5% of Republicans remain undecided.
Brown leads 54% to 39% among men while Coakley leads 50% to 44% among women.
Brown leads 52% to 42% among likely voters age 18 to 49 and Coakley leads 47% to 46% among voters 50 and older.
A total of 9% of likely voters say they have already voted by absentee ballot, with Brown leading Coakley 58% to 42%.
What’s Mass. law regarding recounts? Anyone know?
How close does it have to be?
Someone here this a.m. said Intrade had McCain beating zero.
It’s changed again...Brown 53 Coakley 49.5
Yeah, I tend not to believe much from ARGGGGGGGGGGGGH.

“It’s changed again...Brown 53 Coakley 49.5”
An arbitrage opportunity!
I certainly hope he can pull in out.
But even if he does, I am skeptical of the Democratic leadership in the Senate: Will they actually seat Brown in time for him to cast an all-important vote as regarding healthcare-reform legislation? Or will they tie up his nomination until after the vote is made?
as long as the polls are within the MOE, they can stuff the ballot boxes to tip the scales. if the race was 5 or more points, they couldn’t get away with it.
the dems are famous for this, especially during 2008. votes tallied from electronic voting machines were notoriously opposite the votes tallied from regular polling places. and in one precinct, the vote total for one candidate was 0... and only after 10 people came forward stating they voted for that candidate did the votes ‘appear’
expect this to occur on tuesday.
Brown needs to be over 50 in the final polls or he will lose.
Zero needs a BIG win, and it'll be delivered. I'd bet the big bucks on it.
Gah !
Do you tell you children that you’re putting the cookies in the oven and they will come out burnt so get over it?
Do you let your dog know that he’s probably gonna get kicked by the kid down the street so get over it ?
Bad attitude imvho.
Go go 51%!
“Only 9% say they voted absentee? I doubt that...”
I bet many who voted absentee were were out of town when the poll takers called - they were absent :)

Where did Intrade have the VA and NJ Governor’s races right before election day? My guess, McDonnell heading to a landslide and Corzine expected to win by a nose.
I still don’t think Brown can pullit off. MA is too strongly Democrat for Indepents and Republicans to put Brown over the top. If he does win, it will be close and then the SEIU and ACORN will spring into action and thousands of Coakly votes will suddenly appear to put her over the top. Then instead of fighting, the Republicans will wlak away with their tails between the legs like they always do when the Dems steal an election.
Brown should get in touch with James Baker III. He is to only person to stop a Democrat from stealing an election so far.
The old MA liberals still hanging on. The younger group seems to have gotten it somewhat as Brown leads there.

call for brown tomorrow ....
Somebody needs to tell this National Review Costa guy that the election is to replace Paul Kirk, not Teddy Kennedy.
Evidently this “conservative” magazine thinks it’s Kennedy’s seat too.
