My point about media don't make any good victory because election has cute tricky.

It's not just the media alone. It's the ongoing continuing sample polling. This is done by Coakley and Brown's own team, as well as numerous indpendent polling firms and even by the media's own internal polling. The media is reporting the findings. Secondly, Coakley has flubbed on so many things and in the beginning took for granted that the vacant seat was made for her and hers alone and that she'd automatically would winn it without much effort. How wrong she was on that aspect. The White House is even concluding that it looks to be a Brown win. So does Chris Matthew of MSNBC. And several other news stations based on polls, the flubs, the enthusiastic gatherings at halls for Brown compared to Coakley and so on.

One must ask, why didn't Obama bring up Obamacare while he was stumping for Coakley while he was in Massachussets yesterday?

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.

What does that has to do with this election in Mass? The Minn votes were so close that it fell within the laws of Minn that a recount was necessary. And that there were many voting discrepancies and counting that it was taken to court to clear it up.

If Coakley gets elected it would be by a very narrow margin of win. And you need to remeber that Mass is the bluest of the blue states and a very narrow win for Coakley sends a message about the upcoming Nov 2010 election would favor Republicans.

I am hopeful for Brown and the polling does look good. I just hope his supporters don't get overconfident and no-show. Saw this happen in 88 with Clayton Williams vs. Ann Richards for TX governor. That and a last minute joke by Williams really changed the face of our state for a while.

I think one reason they want to make sure they'd vote is to send a message about Obamacare. One asks why Obama never brought it up during his stumping for Coakley yesterday?

I agree. I think the voters are pretty fired up and will show. I just don't want to start counting the chickens yet. Win or lose, a statemant has been made.

I'm predicting that Conkley will win tomorrow, I'm not on side with both of them and had done with my research.

Your point about media and polls, that how republican will win the senate in Minn but turned lost to democrat by small margin since polls said majority are favor in republican but won't happened.

Well, polling is just thing that don't show that would win.
 
One interesting thing is the fact that the election is taking place the day after the King holiday. This is interesting because the King holiday was formed by merging Washington and Lincoln's Birthdays into a generic President's day holiday. Although Boston is Blue this was not popular with Bostonians. With the angst already over Health Care this could be a slight intangible that could come into a close race.

It wouldnt effect my vote, but in the big picture it may influence a few.

foxrac has already proved you wrong regarding polling - the Minnesota election.

No, he hasn't. Coleman and Franken were within 1 to 2 percent of each other near the end, well within the margin of error and that it could go either way. This is not the case with Coakley and Brown with Brown moving well outside of the margin of error in most of the polling analyses, currently. But it doesn't mean a guarantee win, but based on modeling scenarios Brown looks to be the likely winner.

Foxrac, you said you did your research on Coakley, what research would that be?

If Scott Brown wins in tomorrow election that means he will vote against Obamacare and erase the 60 vote down to 59. He has run his campaign to be the 41st vote against the president's health care reform bill in Washington.

Maybe he hires agitators. :D
From your link, it says in part, 'The president's speech, which organizers said was attended by 1,500 people in the gym and viewed by 2,500 in a spillover room, was briefly interrupted by a shout of "Abortion! Abortion! Innocent blood!" Two men and an 8-year-old boy were escorted out of the gym by police. One of the men could be seen holding a placard that read, "Jesus loves all babies."'

I think it is in this video but it has no captions, rats.

Like I said, polling is still not reliable source that defines whoever will get elected like situation in Minn, even based on modeling scenarios isn't going help to say whoever win either.

Best to way, you need set your own prediction, if you predicts that Brown win so good luck and I have own prediction that Coakley would win, try to look on anywhere in internet or thinking about election history.

I use Google, it has bunches of information so if you want know so use Google, it has everything that you need.

It happens in part of area but nothing is special about prove that whoever would win but just filled with around 10,000 or more people instead of over million.

The White House uses it. Coakley team uses it. So does the media and independent sources. Obviously there is value in doing polls which is why they must be done on a regular basis to see what has changed.
