For the last few days a local Boston talk host (Howie Carr...great guy) has read stats given to him,I assume,by the Secretary of State's Office,that indicate that requests for absentee ballots in certain cities and towns have skyrocketed in recent weeks and the cities/towns where this has happened are the ones that might be expected to vote Brown.Cities like Boston and Cambridge,for example,have had *no* discernible increase in applications according to Howie.
My town (suburban Boston...ordinarily votes RAT) is *awash* with Brown yard signs!
I think we'll at least get real close...I won't predict victory because I've lived among Massachusetts RATS my whole life and I know what they're capable of.And in this state,getting even within a few points of a worthless RAT like Coakley is a big victory and *will* be heard loud and clear in DC by many RATS who want to keep their jobs.
Of course,it won't be heard by Hussein The Blessed but then I think he's already realized that he's gonna be a one termer.
I have ridiculed Coakley’s scare tactics re abortion, but now I must also admit there is some method to the madness. Her campaign must gamble that they can awaken sleeping voters, ones who have in the past been energized in the “feminist” cause which equates available abortion as the liberator of women. Similarly, an Obama visit can bring out the black vote. They win only if a significant number of people vote who were otherwise going to sit it out.
One Termer Bump!
