It only took a few short months of complete Democrat control of Washington for the American people to realize that they made a terrible mistake. Yes, the Republicans currently in office had gone astray. But rather than working at the grassroots and primary level to get better Republicans, voters turned to the Democrats. And look what we are getting... massive deficits... government control of banks, automobile companies, and quite possibly the health care industry. More taxes and less power for each and every American.
That's what the Democrats want to deliver, but the American people have had enough. With the election of Republican governors in New Jersey and Virginia just a few months ago, voters were already sending a message. However, that message is nothing compared to what's happening now. In a race for the Massachusetts Senate seat that was held by Edward Kennedy, Republican Scott Brown is not only making it a race, but he can actually win!
On Tuesday, Massachusetts voters will head to the polls to elect Kennedy's replacement. The race is between Mass. State Sen. Scott Brown and the state's liberal Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley.
As noted in a recent column by Michelle Malkin:
Coakley, the Bay State's attorney general, has campaigned to replace the late Sen. Kennedy on a law-and-order platform. But she has consistently turned a blind eye to both. When a top aide to Boston Mayor Tom Menino was caught deleting thousands of e-mails in violation of public records law last fall, Coakley punted. She has siphoned $25,000 out of her state campaign fund for a poll on her federal Senate bid; used another $24,000 from her state account to pay Beltway political consultants advising her on the Senate campaign; and reportedly used a secret asset sale pact between her state and federal campaign committees to use state campaign funds to purchase a fundraising database, redesign her website and obtain $6,000 worth of campaign paraphernalia with her Senate logo.
And it goes on and on.
State Sen. Scott Brown is running a campaign that should resonate well with the voters of Massachusetts and every other American who is concerned about what is going on in Washington:
# Government is too big and that the federal stimulus bill made government bigger instead of creating jobs # Taxes are too high and are going higher if Congress continues with its out-of-control spending # The historic amount of debt we are passing on to our children and grandchildren is immoral # Power concentrated in the hands of one political party, as it is here in Massachusetts, leads to bad government and poor decisions # A strong military and vigorous homeland defense will protect our interests and security around the world and at home # All Americans deserve health care, but we shouldn't have to create a new government insurance program to provide it
Great platform! But here's what's amazing. It looks like Scott can actually win!
Political analyst Charlie Cook tells National Review Online that "he's 'convinced' that Republican Scott Brown 'really might win' the upcoming special election for U.S. Senate in the Bay State. Brown, he says, has run a 'flawless, very smart campaign' while his opponent, Democrat Martha Coakley, has been 'overly cautious' and run an 'awful campaign.'"
A Rasmussen Reports poll published on Tuesday showing Coakley with 49% of the vote and Brown with 47%. A similar poll by Rasmussen just a week earlier had Coakley leading 50% to 41%. What a difference a week makes.
And now, on Friday, the Washington Examiner is quoting a "well-connected Democrat strategist" as saying that the "bottom has fallen out of Coakley's poll numbers."
In her own polling, Coakley is said to be around five points behind Republican Scott Brown. "If she's not six or eight ahead going into the election, all the intensity is on the other side in terms of turnout," the Democrat says. "So right now, she is destined to lose." Intensifying the gloom, the Democrat says, is the fact that the same polls showing Coakley falling behind also show President Obama with a healthy approval rating in the state. "With Obama at 60 percent in Massachusetts, this shouldn't be happening, but it is," the Democrat says.
The story notes a Suffolk University poll released on Thursday that shows Brown with a four-point lead, 50% to 46%.
This race is crucial! Not only do we need to do everything we can to help Scott Brown's campaign, but if he does win, the Democrats are ready to delay his seating until after the health care vote. As noted in an AP story on GOPUSA, "Massachusetts' top election official says it could take weeks to certify the results of the upcoming U.S. Senate special election. That delay could let President Barack Obama preserve a key 60th vote for his health care overhaul even if the Republican who has vowed to kill it wins Democrat Edward M. Kennedy's former seat."
This is THE battle. If Brown can win, he not only sends a message across the country, but he immediately affects the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
Please do everything you can to help!
++ Elect Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate
I’ve been making calls for Brown. If my tally is accurate then Brown will win by a wide margin.
whilst the predictions seem to bode well for the repubs, I still wouldn’t count my chickens until AFTER the election.
more than one election went contrary to polling data.
The DU DimWits are BEGGING their Mass fellow travelers to get out the vote lest their dreams of a socialist utopia be shattered. Getting pretty desperate over there.
One question: How many young people from Mass have left the state because of the individual mandate required by Romney Care?
Exactly right, they’re not through with their fraud and deceit, ACORN, SEIU and the New Black Panthers—and the law suits afterwards, it’s coming.
The war to save our country is being waged in Massachusetts. Everyone involved has to know that. Those of us that don’t live in Massachusetts are emailing everyone and donating in order to help.
Liberal feces voter fraud is how they win. Coleman race is an example.
Won’t declare victory until Wednesday.
I fully expect every trick will be played. The libs CANNOT lose this seat and will hold on in anyway possible.
Do not be surprised by dirt on Brown coming out this weekend. They’ll start throwing anything to see what sticks.
Also, having been born and raised in MA, I have full confidence in the utter stupidity of the Massachusetts voter.
IF -- IF -- Brown does win this thing, I won't see it as a "GOP" win. A "reassertion of common sense", a "repudiation of DeathCare", a "miracle" even, but calling it a "GOP" win seems to give credit where it ISN'T due.
The Dems don’t have the “machine” in place for vote fraud to make a difference. Mass. is the “bluest” of states and never had to worry about close races with Republicans especially Ted Kennedy’s old position. The Dems are going to the air war and this will not help them close the gap. They need a ground game and it is too late. Brown will shock the world!
Democrats also like to fudge polls so that the GOP wastes resources in areas they have little chances of winning. Of course that generally only happens in Presidential elections but still I would not be surprised to hear that Browns internals are not as good as these public polls are showing.
The news of the AR-2 seat falling seems really indicative of a big win in the House. This guy won last time with 58% of the vote. I hear all of Jean Schmidt's good potential opponents have dropped out in her district. The question is, will it be enough, and will they be disciplined enough to blunt Zero?
I would bet that Brown’s nude pictures are the worst that they will find.
And I think them for finding it! ;-)
...Brown must win decisively...if it’s a close win the Dems will pick it apart until he loses...don’t they control the Secty of State office in Mass?...and that’s the office that certifys the vote.
The RAT’s arrogance blinds them to the fact that they’re despised by a majority of the American people now. The transparency they talked and lied about was their own transparency. Millions of Americans see their treason and the stench of it can’t be covered up by their lies and the MSM. The millions who are now unemployed and those who face being laid off aren’t buying their lies. The hope is long gone and the change is going to be our throwing them out of office this November.
The wrath of the American people is fomenting and will boil over in November.

A pretty good tactic normally, but if these were bogus polls the Dums wouldn’t be blowing so much of their own money on it - they are out-spending Brown when they shouldn’t have to spend so much as a penny. They obviously believe the polls.

If Brown manages to post a win, Bwarney Fwrank will have realize he is not invincible.
