It's strange that Massachusetts would now be the epicenter of the political universe. Democrats have controlled both houses of the state legislature for more than a half century. The entire congressional delegation has been comprised of Democrats for more than a decade. No Republican has won a U.S. Senate seat since 1972. In short, Massachusetts, like Cuba and North Korea, is a one-party state. Elections are supposed to be boring if contested (less than half of the Congressional delegation faced Republican opposition in 2008). Should Scott Brown fall short of victory next Tuesday, it will not be a moral victory. There are no moral victories in politics, only victories. If not a moral victory, a close defeat (and certainly an outright win) would be a harbinger. Brown's hapless opponent, state attorney general Martha Coakley, acknowledged as much at a fundraiser earlier this week: "If I don't win, 2010 is going to be hell for Democrats.... Every Democrat will have a competitive race." To loosely paraphrase that good Democrat Frank Sinatra, "If Democrats can't make it here, they can't make it anywhere." How quickly the political tides have turned: 2008 was supposedly 1932; 2010 may be 1994.

Just hope that 2012 is not 1996. Are Republicans dumb enough to make that happen? Oh yeah. And more's the pity. Our country needs saving, and I doubt the Republicans have the competence to seize the opportunity.

Hapless indeed. Marty Coakley is an empty pantsuit and the darling of the infanticide lobby.

My daily back and forth is through some of the more liberal towns in the Boston area, and I don't recall ever in my life seeing as many yard signs for a national Republican candidate as for Brown.

Underscoring the dem's desperation, there's been a flood of pandering ad's to hit the airwaves this week targeting Brown and featuring ominous voices calling him (gasp!) ANTI-CHOICE. There's one ad dripping with condescension for its audience that doesn't have any substance but basically just uses the words "Scott Brown" and "Republican" repeatedly in juxtaposition, as if the mere utterance of the word "Republican" is enough to frighten the benighted masses to the polls.

I hope Scott Brown crushes her at the polls.

LMAO, gogogo!

"Our exclusive 7NEWS/Suffolk University Poll shows Brown, with 50%, in front of Coakley with 46%. Independent Joe Kennedy gets 3% and just 1% is still undecided."

Greetings from over the border...NH...remembering when all of the MA holes came north to tell those of us in *Live Free Or Die NH* that we needed to vote for the DEMS in the last election...to get in step what they considered right for our State & Country...NH is standing strong for Brown in the 1/19 Special Election for the PEOPLES SEAT i.e. not the so called Kennedy seat...message being let the people have the vote and speak for themselves and what they want...not be slammed with what politicans think we want and need...they have no idea!!!!

The whole country is now a one-party state. I live in Massachusetts, and I'm convinced that, unless Brown takes it by a very wide margin, we're going to see another Al Franken/George Soros play. I'm convinced Brown can win, and very possibly will. I'm not so convinced he'll ever get seated.

Casey, as a current resident but not always to be a Masshole, my apologies for the numbnutz who have moved over the border from my state to your state to escape a conficatory state government only to expect that N.H. become like Mass.

It's insane, really. But we have our share of mind numbed lemmings here, what can I say.

In terms of the United States being a one party country, it appears that way sometimes but I think if you drill down it's really more a symptom of the Marxist agenda in the school system being affective and a general apathy.

What many thought in this last major election was that one party is the same as the other party and that it would make no difference to either vote for Barack Insane Obummer or not vote at all.

Both attitudes were completely wrong and this groundswell for an obscure State Senator who is going against the current one party system is a perfect indication that people are waking up and are worried about their country under the control of the most radically left regime in American history.

The woman who wants to retain the Senate seat for Democrats in Massachusetts has demonstrated all of the ineptitude of the arrogant leftist elitist that she is and will certainly carry that incompetence to Washington if she wins. Frankly, the actions of appointment, Kennedy sycophant and Dem rubber stamp Paul Kirk is really not much different from the way that Coakley would handle non-governance.

During the campaign her ads could not spell Massachusetts correctly, she refused to debate until it became clear she was losing in he polls, making smug comments about Brown shaking hand in the cold outside of Fenway park did not endear her to many, commenting that Red Sox hurler Curt Shilling was a Yankees fan, having a reporter beat up for asking a question, saying that there are no more terrorists in Afghanistan and continuing her career long penchant for no heavy and going after low hanging fruit by prosecuting ladies garden clubs in Massachusetts. This is a person out of touch with reality and either too lazy of arrogant to care.

This woman is another caustic Dem who believes she is entitled a seat at the table in the bluest of blue states based solely on her having a ‘D’ next to her name.

Let’s hope the people of the Commonwealth have woken to reject this fraud because, God knows, we have plenty of them in Washington these days already.

Intrade has Scott Brown at 60, Coakley at 40. Last night Brown was at 64, Coakley 36, so for whatever reason the traders think Brown has lost some momentum, and I'd imagine it will narrow on Intrade before voting. Should be an exciting Tuesday night.

Ok, I'm misreading all of this; the new Intrade numbers are 70 Brown-30 Coakley.
