The level of enthusiasm for Scott Brown (R) for the Mass. senate seat hasn't seen since the days of JFK. Even with Obama at the rally today could not even fill up the 3,000 seats when you have only 2,000 to 2,500 people attending versus Scott Brown's rally that has an overflow beyond the

And what's amazing that in the bluest of all blue states, Massachusetts, the poll on the health care bill is not favored mostly by Mass voters.

bottom line: In a state where support for the Democratic national health care plan should be strongest, the current bills making their way through Congress cannot muster majority support. If Coakley is elected, she will cast the 60th and decisive vote in the Senate to pass a plan that not even half the people in her home state support.

A win by Scott Brown would be “apocalyptic” for Democrats, Matalin said. Should Coakley win, the fact that “we got this close, is nothing short of cataclysmic.”

“[Obama’s] agenda is going to change,” she declared.

Oh, btw, this is not the Kennedy's seat, it's the people's seat. Kennedy is history.
 
It is interesting that there are more enthused people for Scott Brown than for Coakley. Even when Obama is in town hasn't generated the needed extra support and couldn't fill a hall to capacity when Scott Brown easily could. Obama tried doing that with the governor race in NJ and lost spectactularly to a Republican candidate for governor of NJ.....a blue state. Even CNN seems to be admitting, of sort, that it looks more like a Scott Brown win than a Coakley one.

It sounds like you are too exciting right now so Tuesday would be very interesting day. :)

Did you got my PM?
 
Well, we'll see. Regardless, this is a very tight race and serves as warning for the November 2010 election for Congressional seats since this Senate seat happens to be in the bluest of the blue states.

I'm predicting that several democrat senators in red state will losing to republican in next Nov but for toss state, it would be too closer to call or losing to republican.

PA and Conn are considered as toss state.
 
For blue state, it could be chance, especially in Illinois.
 
Martha Coakley made a jaw-dropping declaration earlier this week at the only live televised debate in Boston that she has deigned to do. She said, and I quote, “I’ve traveled the state and met tremendous people.’’

If she did, it was under the cover of darkness, with an assumed name.

Because if she had really traveled the state, if she had taken the time to meet voters, Coakley wouldn’t be in the position she finds herself in now, heading into the final weekend of this special election campaign in a perilously close race against a GOP state legislator nobody had heard of a mere six months ago.

So what did she do? Apparently, she’s tried to accomplish the impossible.

Literally, she all but vanished. She refused to debate on TV unless it was exactly on her terms. She went days without venturing out in public. When she did appear, it was typically to accept endorsements from elected officials or union heads in front of supportive crowds. She may have gone the first month of the campaign without ever meeting an honest-to-goodness rank-and-file undecided resident.

Campaigns are an opportunity for candidates to hear from the public they want to represent, but Coakley doesn’t seem to believe this is necessary. At a rare meet-and-greet with voters Wednesday, she worked a room of a couple of hundred senior citizens in Dorchester in under 10 minutes. Then she turned her back on the crowd as she spoke to reporters, leaving the seniors to awkwardly applaud remarks they weren’t meant to hear.

In Coakley, they see someone who hasn’t earned their support. Worse, they see someone who assumed she’d get it.

Look at NY-23, democrat won the election to took the seat so many prediction said republican would win but won't happened.
 
Coakley told my city she would help us with our landfill that giving off hydrogen sulfide ! She said she would help to get the landfill capped off and to see that it would not give off any more toxic gas! The landfill just had a
methane explosion that knock some pictures off a wall in some one home!

Coakley backed down on her promise , the hydrogen sulfide reading is getting higher all the time! And she is on TV saying she never back down from a fight! B.S.!

There is something you do not understand nor realize here about the NY-23.

It has to do with the Scozzafava and Hoffman support. Scozzafava is a well known RINO (Republican in Name Only or a liberal Republican) while Hoffman is a known conservative Republican. The GOP initially supported Scozzafava and got the ire from conservatives that GOP should be supporting Hoffman. It was later that the GOP finally dropped Scozzafava in favor of supporting Hoffman but that cost Hoffman (only narrowly) his win since many of the mail in ballot already picked Scozzafava that it was too late to change it. Had it been done correctly and earlier, Hoffman wouldv'e gotten the necessary numbers to win the vote.

Do a little research in this.

Now, that seat is only good for one year to fill in a vacant seat. Hoffman is set to run again in 2010 this November but with a name recognition already attached and that a GOP support is likely the 2nd time around.

Oh I see but interesting. :hmm:

In bold, do you have any link about NY-23 has election again? I don't see anything on CNN, thanks.
 
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.

If Coakley get elected for senate seat so your mind is just driven with bunches of media.

My point about media don't make any good victory because election has cute tricky.
 
There's disputed election in Minnesota that where numerous does believe that republican will win for senate seat but lost to democrat and had took to court because election has to be recounted so court favored democrat senate to took seat because won after recounted.
