PRAY!!
My goodness I hope this is true.
They have a horrible track record. But I’ll take it.
I notice Intrade had it 55 to 45 Brown earlier in the day. Now it is 51 to 49 Brown. It is not over until it is over.
The point is that the polls are trending Brown's way. If the GOP turns out it should be doable.
I am waiting for Rasmussen comes out with. They seem to be the most accurate pollster going now?
I heard they were having a buy one pair of shoes get twenty pair free at three different shoe stores in Boston. Pass it on!
I'm calling BS on this one. Every other poll shows Brown's strength is with the , ahem, more experienced folks.
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.
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.
I just got up to Martha Coakley's campaign HQ to help her win Tuesday's crucial special election. I have to tell you -- this isn't like anything Massachusetts has ever seen.
It's happening right after the holidays, so a lot of people haven't even heard about it. Meanwhile, the same guys behind the Swift Boat ads are taking over the airwaves to distort Martha's record, and the same far-right tea-party crowd that's attacking President Obama is funding her opponent.
The stakes in this race are incredibly high. If we don't hold this seat, a right-wing Republican will hold Sen. Ted Kennedy's old seat until at least 2012 -- and we'll lose a crucial vote in the Senate for health reform and the agenda we fought so hard for last year.
That's why we're going all out in Massachusetts with a massive effort to lock up a Democratic victory. But we can only afford to keep this battle up against the far right through Election Day if folks like you chip in.
Please donate $5 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts.
Democratic ads are highlighting the key differences between Martha, a long-time public servant and one of the nation's best attorneys general, and her extreme Republican opponent who would walk in lockstep with Mitch McConnell and national GOP power brokers.
And our organizers are engaging volunteers by the thousands to make sure Obama voters make it back to the polls.
But we need your help to keep it going. Please donate $5 or more to the Democratic Party to support our work, including our efforts to elect Martha Coakley:
Let's win this,

Only 9% say they voted absentee? I doubt that...
Damage control...
This is a Creigh Deeds situation,” the Democrat says. “I don’t think it says that the Obama agenda is a problem. I think it says, 1) that she’s a terrible candidate, 2) that she ran a terrible campaign, 3) that the climate is difficult but she should have been able to overcome it, and 4) that Democrats beware — you better run good campaigns, or you’re going to lose.”

So what this survey says is 37% of Republicans in Mass are idiots? How could a Republican EVER vote for Kookley?
Rasmussen had Brown down last Tuesday 49%-47%, but a lot has changed this past week.
Ooops! Read that wrong! Only 1% are idiots. LOL!
In addition ARG under polled the independents by 15 points and Brown has a lot of strength there as well. I’d say it’s looking good.
