Sources: Obama advisers believe Coakley will lose
CNN ^ | 1/17/10 | Ed Henry

Washington (CNN) - Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday.

The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama's visit to Massachusetts on Sunday - coupled with a late push by Democratic activists - could help Coakley pull out a narrow victory in an increasingly tight race against Republican state Sen. Scott Brown.

However, the presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley's chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.

HELP SCOTT DEFEAT THE OBAMA SOCK PUPPET!!

(stole this from another FReeper, but bears repeating)

•People in ANY state can volunteer for the phone bank! http://www.resistnet.com/forum/topics/phone-calls-for-freedom-call-1?commentId=2600775%3AComment%3A1891491&xg_source=activity

•Anyone… Anywhere… Contribute! https://www.icontribute.us/scottbrown

•Live in or near MA? Volunteers still needed at many regional offices. If you can help, please email Laura@brownforussenate.com and she will tell you how.

•If you live in Massachusetts, become an election judge. In Boston they pay $135-$185 and they NEED Republican monitors.

Needed; military and retired law enforcement VFW and police organizations etc to monitor polls- prevent the voter fraud they’re plotting right now. Video tape everything; document everything; prosecute the perpetrators. http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=3599

just trying to distance Obama from her ahead of time. If she wins, they’ll say it was a late surge based on his visit.

I am kind of worried now. They are lowering expections so if she wins, it will seem big.

And these so-called ‘advisers” didn’t have the balls to tell Herr Obama that his presence will do nothing to sway their votes.

I have been a little worried that Brown may have peaked to early, but hopefully he survives this last few days onslaught from the Dems.

If they thought his presence could help her win he would have gone there tomorrow on MLK day which happens to also be the day before the election. I think today’s trip is like the token one he paid Creigh Deeds right before he was crushed in Virginia.

Juan NPR Williams was depressed on Fox this morning. He kept saying that health care would go through. He was certain of is. But he was shaking his head and looking pretty glum. Bill Crystal had a smile on his face through the whole show.
I can’t stand Juan. I can’t listen to him anymore. FNC: do something...replace him forthwith!

Latest poll has Brown up over 9%. That puts him safely outside the ability of SEIU and Acorn to win the election with vote fraud.
