Coakley may feel she needs a boost after a Rasmussen poll released earlier this week had the Republican candidate, state Sen. Scott Brown, within nine points of Coakley (50-41). That's closer than most people thought. Scott Rasmussen, the polling firm's president, said, "It has nothing to do with Brown and everything to do with the political environment we're seeing nationally."

Looks like a typo and that should be 50-49

This election, on Jan 19th will most likely determine if the Health Care Bill passes or not.

Hopefully the degenerates in this state stay home on election day. Either that or vote for Joe Kennedy thinking its a relative of Ted.

Coakley wins this thing by 10 or in a landslide. If Brown pulls it off, that would be a miracle on so many levels.

not if it is the current gop. remember the gop is the problem,unless your registered dems????

I have 0 interest in returning the current gop to power. it would be like re-electing bush/mccain. vote'em out if they are not Liberty Republicans. no need to put the failed gop back in power until they change themselves...

First of all, if he's within 9 points, then 50-41 is not a typo that was supposed to be 50-49. 50-41 is correct (i.e. 50-9=41).

Also, how will this election determine if the health care bill passes? It only takes 50 votes for the bill to pass, and the Dems have 59 even without this seat.

It's most likely correct. 50-41 with 9% undecided.

While I understand your sentiment, I have to say that I disagree completely.

We have liberty candidates now who have chances at the Federal Level. It is going to be slow going. What we need right now is some type of gridlock in Congress, something to slow down the Dems, until we have a chance to get good candidates elected. Yes, if the Republicans gain seats in or control of Congress, I have little faith that the will follow an agenda that promotes liberty. But they would slow down the passage of legislation to a trickle.

The movement needs time.

You sound like a Kennedy supporter.

Although he's getting way under 10% in the polls, Kennedy is still getting in the debates. Why, because Coakley wants him there.

Kennedy spends all his time in the debates attacking Brown, while taking positions
nearly indistinguishable from Brown.

Kennedy is there simply to help Coakley. He's a tool.

If MA is a liberal state (and I think we all pretty much agree it is), why isn't Kennedy emphasizing the elements of his record that would get him votes from liberals - like antiwar and legalize marijuana.

Because he doesn't want to maximize his votes, he wants to take votes from Brown, not Coakley.

Kennedy is a liberal who is pretending to be a tea party libertarian conservative in
order to hurt Brown and help Coakley.

I don't support Brown. His platform kinda sucks. What I do support is breaking the Dems Supermajority in the senate, and if this guy getting elected will do that, I'll give him money and do whatever I can to get him in office - IN ORDER TO BLOCK THE DEMS!

Yeah, I get it. I had to go through that decision making process in my own mind in 2008 when I decided to write in Chuck Baldwin rather than vote for McCain. I'd rather let the Dems bankrupt the federal government quickly than support any more Republicans who are slowly building a totalitarian state around us while pretending that their slow approach is our only hope for staving off the Dems fast approach.

That is crap and you should know it. Brown likes the Obama surge and Afghanistanization in Afghanistan, while Kennedy doesn't.

Kennedy is also anti-Romneycare. Brown embraces it.

Brown is a friend of the Fed. Kennedy isn't.

Kennedy is there simply to help Coakley. He's a tool.


If MA is a liberal state (and I think we all pretty much agree it is), why isn't Kennedy emphasizing the elements of his record that would get him votes from liberals - like antiwar and legalize marijuana.

Because he doesn't want to maximize his votes, he wants to take votes from Brown, not Coakley.

You are acting foolish. Did you follow how Kennedy came to get on the ballot? He decided to run and worked nonstop and spent a hefty chunk of change to get on the ballot. People like prominent Libertarian George Phillies and other Libertarians in that party spent a ton of money and hired petitioners like crazy to make a miracle and get on the ballot.

The reason Coakley wanted Kennedy in the debates was because if nobody knew who Kennedy was his name would be associated with the more prominent Kennedy clan. SHe was being smart, but that is an obvious move. If she hadn't done it, DKos type liberals and progressives would be complaining about the opposite.

Kennedy is probably trying to capitalize on the momentum of the tea partiers' turnout and counting on liberals' votes through the name. Tea partiers are sometimes still not as strong on civil liberties and he equally doesn't want to alienate them.

Ever thought Kennedy just happens to be in the middle of the two running his own campaign? You seem to have bought the false paradigm.

I agree. Brown would probably just vote like a Democrat once he got into office anyway. Either that or one of the Maine senators would change parties.

The lesser of 2 evils is not the solution. The Boston Tea Party org endorses Kennedy. There's no sense in ever backing the Socialist or Fascist for a short term gain and this is the problem thinking that causes true candidates from being elected. Who do the Libertarian politicians in Mass back?
