I still can't bring myself to believe that Brown will win this thing, but these poll results are stupifying.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I dont think Brown pulls it off. This is Romney all over again. The Massachusetts electorate wants to scare the Demo establishment and show how unhappy they are with the entrenched politicians, but will ultimately head home to papi come election day.
At least, this is my uninformed opinion off the top of my head.

At first, I thought this was a typo, but you're referring to the 1994 Senate campaign.Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostI dont think Brown pulls it off. This is Romney all over again.

The big difference, of course, is that Brown isn't running against Ted Kennedy. Apparently he's running against a tone deaf politician who's treated the campaign as a coronation ceremony to a life time job in the Senate.
I was skeptical about Brown's chances but there are two factors unique to Massachussets that work in his favor:
1. Massachussets already has universal health care, so the federal health care initiative will take money out of their pockets to cover people in North Dakota and New Mexico.
2. Something like four of the past five governors have been Republicans and they elect GOP governors as a check against the uber-liberal state legislature. So, they probably don't like single party rule. Right now, they have a Democratic governor, he's extremely unpopular and the electorate probably feels that this campaign for a federal Senate spot is a way of both sticking it to the Democrats and also ending the single party rule in Washington.
BTW, did anyone read the WSJ editorial on Martha Coakley's role in one of the famous day care witch hunt prosecutions from the 80s/90s?Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

Is it really that far gone for Coakley?Originally posted by statman View Post

The Constitution hangs by a thread. Fortunately, Brown is backed by Romney, who will fulfill prophecy by guiding his man to victory and thus preserving liberty for all.Originally posted by Hallelujah View Postsigpic

That's your question, not mine. My question is do you have any ability to see more than one side of an issue? You're boringly predictable.Originally posted by Hallelujah View Postsigpic

Good point. I'm still trying to see the other, positive, point of voter fraud. I'll have to take your word for THAT.Originally posted by cowboy View PostComment

When Massachusetts democrats thought that John Kerry was going to win the presidency, they changed the law to require special elections so Mitt Romney couldn't appoint a republican to the senate. Now that same special election has picked a republican senator, and the democrat governor can't do anything about it.
And now possibly the health care reform bill will be defeated because of this.
That, Alanis, is irony.Comment
