You are right. Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles! I just got off the phone with my 88 year-old father; a died in the wool, life-long democrat who was born in and has lived in Mass for over 70 years. HE HAS NEVER VOTED FOR A REPUBLICAN… NEVER. After polite chit chat about the NFL play off games I dared broach the subject and asked him if he was going to vote on Tuesday (every time “politics” have come up in the past he has berated me with tirades about those “evil republicans”). Well, he came right out and told me… “I AM going to vote on Tuesday and I am seriously thinking of voting for Scott Brown.” Needless to say I was and am totally ASTONISHED… ASTONISHED (I did not let him know in the least and kept my heart-felt joy and enthusiasm at his answer to my self so as to not “scare him off”)!

I tactfully asked him WHY he was going to vote for Brown and his answer was: “Because of the healthcare bill Obama is trying to pass.” I carefully agreed with him and reinforced the fact that Obama wants to gut Medicare/Medicaid by taking away 500 BILLION DOLLARS from the system and that if he adds 40 million people to the rolls, especially illegal aliens the health care system would collapse… I told him that Brown is an honorable man and that he is totally opposed to the “healthcare” bill and would vote against it… MY DAD AGREED! I was flabbergasted!

If my own father; a life-long Massachusetts FDR Democrat who has voted for EVERY Kennedy, Kerry/democrat to ever come down the pike, is going to vote for Scott Brown, a REPUBLICAN, BECAUSE OF HIS OPPOSITION TO Obama and his evil healthcare debacle then things are looking VERY promising for Scott Brown and we could all be in for an incredible victory on Tuesday. To this end I am fervently praying.

Yeah.....this really is a big deal.

Even if Brown loses by a close margin, this is a big deal and should be required study by anyone in Republican politics in how to turn aside negative attacks.

Brown has succeeded in appearing above the fray while being tough....just masterful job.

...a startling endorsement from the mayor of the seventh largest city in Massachusetts: James Sheets a six term Democratic mayor of Quincy today endorsed Scott Brown for United States Senator... "Despite being a lifelong member of the Democratic Party, I am endorsing Scott Brown for Senate, as I know he will always represent Massachusetts with an independent voice in Washington," Sheets said. "Martha Coakley has repeatedly stated she would cast the critical 60th vote for the current health care proposal that would slash Medicare funding by nearly half-a-trillion dollars and dramatically impact the care so many seniors rely upon in their final years. As our United States Senator, I am confident Scott Brown will only support legislation that will benefit his constituents, and this is why I will be voting for him on Tuesday."
Thanks American Dream 246. Soros' various front organizations and ACORN will be going after this guy. Just as there are so-called RINOs, there are also so-called DINOs. Around here some of my stealth-demwit relatives have said that in certain counties, the label to get elected has to be Republican, but here and there people get elected as Republicans who are probably Democrats by orientation. The reverse is true in much of the NE US.

Lots of disaffected Democrats. Brown is picking up 20% of the Democratic vote tomorrow.

A highly disaffected Dem will vote for Brown. A moderately disaffected Dem will stay home. The result is similar.

A Dem with a brain!

More likely, a Dem with a finger checking wind velocity.

That’s the sound of those pebbles you hear dropping at the start of an avalanche. Another couple of hours and it’ll be Joe Lieberman.

I had read that Brown had appeared in Quincy with the mayor, and thought “wow, Quincy has a GOP mayor.” I now see that the mayor is a Democrat, and he still endorsed Brown. If we could get him to endorse the Republican that runs against Quincy’s own Bill Delahunt in thd MA-10 (the least Democrat congressional district in MA) it could be enough to knock off Delahunt.

Dems in Congress are more radioactive than 0bama, if that is possible.

Excellent point! Delahunt sucks!

I agree: this mayor’s approval could loom large now and a little way down the road.

I may be guessing here, but Mass voters know what to expect from government healthcare because they basically had it under Romney. I think when they go to the polls, that’s what they are voting on. I just hope there’s enough of them to give Brown the W.
