Coakley Needs Saving; Obama Says No Thanks

The race for Massachusetts Senator to replace Ted Kennedy gets more interesting by the day. Yesterday, Scott Brown showed that he has tapped into the conservative movement, raising more than $1.2 million in just over 24 hours. That is a remarkable achievement, especially considering that this is an off-cycle special election. Then, this was followed by Martha Coakley and Scott Brown having their first and only debate...a debate in which the establishment candidate, Coakley, looked woefully inadequate.

I am assuming the election is next week right?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Yes, and I will be voting Brown all the way. If you live in Mass and don’t vote, then you can’t complain about the way things are.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Remember friends, MA prides itself on electing “woefully inadequate” politicians. Please, do not expect a victory for Brown, the commitment to misery, hypocrisy, and mediocrisy demonstrated by the people of MA is legendary.

Now, you watch. If Mr. Brown wins, I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the Sec. of State in the Bay State(Billy Galvin)takes his time certifying the election...the idea being the Senate will still have 60 votes for the health deform bill.

Massachusetts - what a swamp.

[bcsco]

I believe it’s on the 19th.

[USS Alaska]

Yep, Tuesday the 19th.

I saw Brown last night on tv and he is an impressive guy.

I don't live in the USS of Masss, but I donated to him and am rooting for the honest voters.

With acorn and the unions and the demonRAT machine it's an uphill slog, but look what happened in NJ.

[dps.inspect]

I believe its the 17th or near then.

[Vaquero]

zer0bama knows that at this point in time...he would be POISON for anyone running for election.....the Dhimmicrats would be better served sending slick willie to Mass-of-2-$h!t$...they seem to like philanderers there.

[dps.inspect]

David Gergin was made to sound petty and inept... Loved it.

[SueRae]

Scott Brown on Fox news right now - the Mass. Dem machine is trying to change the rules about the timing of the swearing in!!!!!!!!! Storm the effing gates, this is getting ridiculous!!!!!

[Will not Live for another Man]

You are evidently correct in your assumption...

So the Bammer is going to vote “present”. That's a shame.

I was so much looking forward to a reprise of that famous Obama campaign magic that we saw in New Jersey and Virginia last November.

Maybe they could send up Joe Biden for a week or so.

[bboop]

Election is January 19.

[skikvt]

Obama is political poison right now. Perhaps his handlers actually realize that...

[pnut22]

My question is where are the repubs saying they will delay the vote until he is sworn in if elected? They may not have much power, but I believe they do have ways to create delay.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“Yes, and I will be voting Brown all the way. If you live in Mass and don’t vote, then you can’t complain about the way things are.”

Do you have any ACORN contacts there that could help me out?
I would like to fly out and vote next week in your election.

[RexBeach]

I used to labor in the MA Senate. These people will stop at virtually nothing to hang onto this seat.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

Creeps.

[Freds2nd]

“With all due respect, it is not Ted Kennedy’s seat, it is not the Democrats seat, it is the People’s Seat.”

Does Teddy’s seat come with his license to kill?

[chuckles]

It’s on the 19th for Republicans and on the 20th for Democrats.
