9 points with 14 days left? I’d like to see a miracle happen up on Mass, but its blindingly apparent that state is going to fall into the ocean on failed liberal policies before it will likely change course.
Brown can win. He is getting the independent vote by a huge margin and independents if I’m not mistaken represent the biggest voting block in Massachussetts. The key is getting them to the polls.
“Both candidates get better than 70% of the vote from members of their respective parties, but Brown leads 65% to 21% among voters not affiliated with either of the major parties. In Massachusetts, however, Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans and it is very difficult for the GOP to compete except in special circumstances. Eight percent (8%) of Democrats remain undecided while just 3% of Republicans are in that category. “
Legacy wealth? You mean the legacy wealth that allows the wealthy to pay for accountants and attorneys that help them create tax shelters so their “hard earned” money doesn’t wind up in the state coffers?
Whatever you say, friend.
Those numbers are pretty stunning. Too bad Brown doesn’t have more time and money. Plus I suppose this “independent” will screw things up if the race were to get really close. Still, if the Dem wins by only something like 55-45 it will be stunning. They will scream that their mandate to continue far left policies is strong but in reality this will be a sign to them that they are weak and in less “blue” states they are going to be in real trouble later this year.
++++++++++++++++
And what if it’s closer? And what if Brown wins? As to more time and money, this may be shaping up like NY23...we can only hope for a last minute SHOCKER...Keep your eyes open to the fraud folks...votes will come out of the trunks for sure on this one...but the closer it is, the BETTER for us...as you say above TNCMAXQ.
Brown can win he is winning Independents and they represent a bigger voting block than both Democrats and Republicans. The key is getting them to vote. All the naysayers here should be ashamed. This can be changed. Have faith, fight the fight and then win or lose. Giving up before you’ve lost is stupid. These special elections are unique. GOTV can close the gap. Any of us who do not have obligations should head to MA. That’s how you win a race.

A FReeper who’d relocated to South Carolina from MA told me a few weeks ago that the Conservatives have left MA in droves - but the 10s of Thousands...that would make any close race or win by Brown even MORE impressive. Especially with all the boo hoo for Teddy crap the libs are thowing out there for commie care.
Wait... 7% are undecided.. which I can’t believe anyone who’s seriously considering the entrenched machine hasn’t decided already... so this may be more of a 5 point race, at this point.
Still a hell of a hill to climb in 14 days, but a flood of cash and marketing may be able to at least make it possible.
Don’t bet on the RNC doing anything, the folks that run that place are as inept as Fauxbama.

Hear, hear! Let’s roll.
I told my 30 + daughter to round up all of her friends and take them with her, to town hall, to vote. They’re all busy mommies and probably would just skip it. This election is just too important.
We have to hope that the Dems. think Coakley has it in the bag and won’t be motivated.

Well, that’s what’s happening...Brown’s getting money from all over. Probably Coakley is too to some degree...but the underdog story is Brown, and its also being pitched in Conservative (real) media. The RAT press won’t touch it with a 39 and 1/2 foot pole, of course. Shaping up similarly to NY23, only we’re hoping for a different result! Hoffman looks to be heading back into that race for November, btw, from his rhetoric recently:

The thing Brown needs to focus on is doing something in these last days to sway more independents to his cause. He needs to talk personal responsibility. He needs to talk about changing a government gone wild and forcing the Government to live within its means like the common man. There is a lot of frustration in the North and Republicans have failed to tap into it effectively. Brown can and he can win. I just wish Brown had two more months.
I donated to Brown. I also joined his Facebook page and got my friends on FB to join and donate. If half of those on FR did similar things he’d be higher on the radar screen and swimming in cash.
And I’m in Texas!
“Special elections are typically decided by who shows up to vote and it is clear from the data that Brown’s supporters are more enthusiastic. In fact, among those who are absolutely certain they will vote, Brown pulls to within two points of Coakley. That suggests a very low turnout will help the Republican and a higher turnout is better for the Democrat. “-Rasmussen
I’m telling you right now Brown was virtually an unknown a month ago, the more the people in the state get to know Scott Brown the more they like him.He is going to skim a hell of lot more dem votes than people think.
What matters is not what the polls say: what matters is WHO VOTES. It's a true "Tortoise-and-the-Hare" situation.
The key factors are that the Democrats' activist core is enervated, disillusioned, disappointed and dissipated. THEY'LL STAY HOME The Republican challenger is energized. THEY'LL SHOW UP IN DROVES.
Check out a movie by Spike Lee called “CSA”. The South wins the war, Abe runs off to Canada, slavery is still legal and “Viet Nam” has moved to South America.
There are lots of old time Dems that are voting against ObamaCare and for Brown in this race.
Mr. Brown as on Glenn Beck maybe last week and he said that the RNC is doing everything that they asked to do. I think at this pont the RNC is a negative, also sarah palin ...this is a BLUE state and this guy has to run on principles and not party lines. And he is saying want to stop health care . vote for me.
So i’m not sure the RNC involvment would be good at this point.
There is a great irony if ted healthcare was my life kennedy’s seat goes to defeat healthcare.
I just pray God will save the republic and help this guy win.
She is claiming to be Roman Catholic..yet is a vicious pro-abort.
How do Catholics in Mass live with themselves.
Voting for a pro-abort is voting for death. SICK SICK.
