Dead Ted will be organizing the dead vote unless it suddenly freezes over down there.

Hmm.. Even if Brown wins, look for the Democrats to stall this election in the courts so as to delay his swearing-in in order to pass the Health Care bill.

Their stalling won't make any difference, because other Senate Democrats will smell their own defeat in 2010 and 2012 if they go along with the health program. Some Democrat Senators may realize they better vote against the program or their careers are over this year.

Coakley leads 50% to 44% among women.

Show those women that picture of Brown in Cosmo. As a woman myself, all I can say is: HUNK!

Needs more than that. If he doesn’t beat her by 10%, he’ll never be seated.

Must be the same 47% morons who want BO to cut their Medicare in order to provide free healthcare to illegals. AARP magazine can really screw up your head if it isn't screwed on right to begin with.

the older voters are probably staying loyal to Ted Kennedy... sick, i know...

They've learned their lessons....it won't be close, but the "not being close" part will be on Martha's plus side.

huh?

this is at least the third time this poll, which was released very early this morning, has been posted here today; the second time in breaking news.

probably worth checking before posting, especially in breaking news.

This is the first time I've seen this, and I'm on FR most of my free time.

FR moves like the wind, and articles quickly advance off the front page. Unless you're a retired news junkie who can sit and read FR all day long, you're going to miss some important stories.

I have no problem with important articles being posted multiple times.

Free cigarettes if you can prove you did not vote.

Brown is ahead, but not by a safe margin. PRAY and get out the Vote!

Massachusetts Voters, we envy you. With your vote for Scott Brown you are saying No to socialism, No to creeping communism, No to the Healthcare Bill, No to Cap and Tax, No to Amnesty for illegals, No to the Czars, No to diversity, No to affirmative action, No to endless Welfare, No to government takeover of Private Business, No to the carnage wrought by Ted Kennedy, No to “Green” as it’s the new “Red”, No to Card Check, No to Union Control, No to Gun Control, No to expanding bloated Government, No to Taxation without representation, No to more government rules and regulations, No to the Bank Tax, No to gutting our Military, No to Appeasement, No to Tyranny!

When each of you go into the voting booth, know there are 1000 Patriots from across the country behind you saying Hoorah when you vote for Brown!

Citizens of Massachusetts, this is your Concord and Lexington! We are with you on the bridge.

“It’s changed again...Brown 53 Coakley 49.5”

Numbers such as these are puzzling. S’pose this means that with an electoral turnout of 102.5% of the voters in MA, polsters anticipate ACORN/SEIU will bring in 2.5% from the boneyard?

5% of Republicans remain undecided.

Since they admit to be republicans in Ma, I don't really understand how they can be undecided. There are some pretty stark contrasts between the two (sorry, three) candidates.

No. Rasmussen only polls LIKELY voters, which are voters who have voted in the last election. A poll of registered voters is less reliable than a poll of likely voters.

On DUmmy Underground they are convinced this a voter revolt for not being “progressive” ENOUGH. If you can believe that.

“There is absolutely NO way that a Republican will be allowed to win this election.... The fix is in....”

I am afraid you are right. With the crooks at ACORN and SEIU mucking things up, we will see Coleman v. Franken redux.

Why people come here to be negative and pessimistic is beyond me.

Being negative is the easiest thing in the world but what does it gain anyone to be that way?

If this country is so corrupt that it is impossible to beat a Democrat hack with a genuine public outpouring for her opponent, maybe it’s time to just leave and go be a beachcomer on an island somewhere.

The fact is, if it can be done in New Jersey - a filthy, criminal place where Zer0 campaigned for Corzine several times - it can be done in Mass. Actually, the two elections have something in common: the NJ electorate found Corzine very unlikeable; the people in MA feel the same way about Coakley.
