There have been several polls released recently, showing everything from a virtual dead heat to Elizabeth Warren ahead by low single digits.
This was a contrast to pre-DNC polls, which showed Brown ahead by low single digits. Clearly Warren received a convention bounce, almost entirely from increased support from Democrats.
Warren supporters in the left-blogosphere have all but declared victory. The question, however, was whether Warren’s convention bounce would last.
A U.Mass-Lowell/Boston Herald poll released tonight indicates that perhaps Warren’s lead is not so clear, or that her bounce has faded. Brown is up 50-44 among registered voters and 49-45 among likely voters:

It is only a poll, Kimosabe
There aren't a lot of Indians in Massachusetts. But if the dead Indians can vote, who knows?
Brown is an absolute lock in this race.
He understands Reagan Democrats and Independent Pro-Abortion Women, the twin pillars of his majority.
When the Dems failed to beat him with an icy white bi*ch, they doubled down. He could lose to a Kennedy (and may in 2018), or possibly to a union guy like Steve Lynch, but Martha Coakley v 2.0?
Forget it.

My neighbors are simply too indoctrinated to the Ds.
Brown is going down.
54% vote in the Senate would be better than 0% which is what Warren will provide.
I know someone making calls for the Brown campaign. They have been calling Independents and Democrats.
This person tells me their experience is that Brown will win the independents by a huge margin, and will even do OK among the Dems.
While nothing this far out is a lock, unless he is found in bed with a little boy, I think he is OK.
Of course, this is MA. If he is found in bed with a little boy it might just boost his cause. (I am kidding of course.)
Excellent. I was just ready to shut down my comp. for the evening when I read this thread. Ahh, I’ll sleep better tonight.
Just donated $50 to Scott Brown’s re-election. Worth every penny to see a tear roll down a high cheekbone on election night.
Scott Brown resonates with working class voters here (mostly Democrat) while Warren leaves them cold. While hardly a conservative, like you say, it's better to have a senator who votes with us only half the time (Brown) then one that will vote with us zero percent of the time (Warren)
Excellent! Um...well, I guess? On second thought, really not that big of a deal.
We need to control the Senate, but I have a hard time getting excited about Scott Brown winning.
Look. Kennedy had the seat for 30 years. Let’s not give it back after 2. If he and Mittens wins he will be in deep dudu 6 years down the road when Mittens is in his 2nd term(history). In 6 years he can do a lot of back stabbing within his own party. Should he lose in 6 years it will be like Chafee-good riddence. Let’s just give him (another)chance.
54??
heck brown is good for 75
but he most important one for majority leader
100
go brown
plus he drives libs absolutely crazy
go brown

Thanks so much, raccoonradio!
D'oh, of course September 20th is tonight... I didn't miss the debate (had my dates mixed up I guess).
No, unfortunately I can't pick up WBZ where I live in CT. I'll check their website to see if it will be streamed live, and I'll also check to see if C-SPAN will run the debate live.
pinging a few Massachusetts FRiends who may be interested...
