Martha Coakley may live to regret her decision not to actively campaign for the special election in Massachusetts. What was she thinking?
Public Policy Polling hasn’t released their poll results yet, but provide us with a sneak peak of what to expect. It doesn’t bode well for Coakley.
-At this point a plurality of those planning to turn out oppose the health care bill. The massive enthusiasm gap we saw in Virginia is playing itself out in Massachusetts as well. Republican voters are fired up and they’re going to turn out. Martha Coakley needs to have a coherent message up on the air over the last ten days that her election is critical to health care passing and Ted Kennedy’s legacy- right now Democrats in the state are not feeling a sense of urgency.
-Scott Brown’s favorables are up around 60%, a product of his having had the airwaves to himself for the last week. By comparison Bob McDonnell’s were at 55% right before his election and Chris Christie’s were only at 43%. Coakley’s campaign or outside groups need to tie Brown’s image to national Republicans and knock him down a notch over the final week of the campaign.
Scott Brown just may win this race! If he does, it will be the best news I’ve heard all year. You can help by contributing to his campaign.

Update: Democrats must be getting nervous – the push polls against Scott Brown have begun.
Go Scott Brown. I cannot remind all off you people in Massachusetts enough of what your legislature did when Kennedy died. They changed the law to take away your rights as a voter, just so Deval Patrick could appoint vote number 60 for Socialized healthcare. This is your chance to take your state back. Brown is a good conservative. He is the type of Republican that we want in Washington. Please get out and vote. And then tell all the democrats that they vote on the next day; They are easily manipulted. If they weren’t, they would be conservatives.
