Election, Not a Coronation … All Polls Breaking for Republican Scott Brown over Coakley in Mass Senate Race

Do You Believe in Miracles …

One day before the special Senate election in Massachusetts and all polls appear to be breaking for Republican Scott Brown. Tomorrow’s Mass. election could be a historic day if the polls hold true to form. The Democrats are about to learn a real civics lesson in what  the special Senate race for Ted Kennedy’s old seat was supposed to be …   “It’s an election, not a coronation.”

Coakley was “mailing it in” on the senatorial campaign trail, the official said, relating how in his own election, he had gone door-to-door “seven days a week” soliciting votes. After winning the Dec. 8 Democratic primary, however, Coakley seemed to shift into neutral, expecting to coast easily to victory in the general election. She even took a six-day vacation from campaigning in December.

“I’ve never seen a worse campaign for a Democrat,” said Barnicle, a liberal who is a regular commentator on MSNBC. “It’s an election, not a coronation.”

Coakley’s aloof personality, disastrous gaffes and strategic miscalculations may become a convenient explanation if, as many Massachusetts political observers now expect, the Democrat loses Tuesday. If her defeat can be explained in strictly tactical terms — a bad campaign by a clueless candidate …

“We the People” in one of the most liberal and “Blue” states in the US might just be telling Obama and Democrats what they think of Obamacare and the path of his administration. As the WSJ wrote … “The backlash is coming, the backlash is coming!”

The most recent polling data looks disastrous  for Martha Coakley, Obama and the Democrat Party.Three polls came out and all have Scott Brown with big leads (American Research Group, Insider Advantage and MyFox Boston News poll). It truley does appear that the wheels have come of the Coakley wagon and her campaign is in free fall.

Its Always Marcia, Marcia, Marcia … Oops … Martha Coakley’s Campaign Wheels Have Come Off … Polls all in Favor of Brown

It’s always MARCIA, MARCIA, MARCIA …

Today Martha Coakley must feel like Jan Brady of the Brady Bunch fame as yesterday during a rally for the embattled Massachusetts Democrat Senate, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) referred to her as “Marcia” Coakley. When he was not blaming GWB for Coakley’s problem in the polls, Patrick Kennedy was calling Martha Coakley … Marcia Coakley.

MA Senate Race:Public Policy Poll Has Brown Up by 5% Points Over Coakley

WOW!!! COULD THIS REALLY BECOME A REALITY!!!

The most recent Public Policy Polling’sfinal survey shows that Republican Scott Brown is up 51% to 46% over Democrat Martha Coakley. The shift of Independents to Brown has become glaring. As Brown captures more and more of the Indies, it is showing that Brown represents the candidate of “uniting” rather than politics as usual in Washington, DC. After all, Brown is looking to win the  Massachusetts “Peoples” seat.

Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 51-46 in our final Massachusetts Senate poll, an advantage that is within the margin of error for the poll.

Over the last week Brown has continued his dominance with independents and increased his ability to win over Obama voters as Coakley’s favorability numbers have declined into negative territory. At the same time Democratic leaning voters have started to take more interest in the election, a trend that if it continues in the final 36 hours of the campaign could put her over the finish line.

The following are some truly striking numbers from the PPP via the Politico:

-Brown is up 64-32 with independents and is winning 20% of the vote from people who supported Barack Obama in 2008while Coakley is getting just 4% of the McCain vote.

-Those planning to turn out continue to be skeptical of the Democratic health care plan, saying they oppose it by a 48/40 margin.

Weasel Zippers could not have stated it any better … Hope & Change in Massachusetts.

MASS Senate Candidate May Get Endorsement from Joe Lieberman … Brown Ahead in Coakley Internal Poll … Obama to Massachusetts

RUT-ROH!!! Martha Coakley in a real fix in Massachusetts …

Make no mistake about it, there is no way that any political pundit can spin the fact that Republican Scott Brown’s support is a repudiation of Barack Obama’s policies.

Whether there is a “Joementum” Lieberman endorsement or not, the fact of the matter is that the Democrat Party and Barack Obama are in full panic mode with the special election Massachusetts Senate race. According to Steve Kornacki, Martha Coakley’s internal poll for Friday night showed Republican Scott Brown leading by two points, 47 to 45 percent.

I’ve been told reliably that Martha Coakley’s internal poll for Friday night showed Republican Scott Brown leading by two points, 47 to 45 percent. Her campaign’s three-night average for Friday, Thursday and Wednesday is the same — a 47 to 45 lead for Brown.

This is, obviously, not great news for the Democratic nominee. But it does suggest that Brown’s momentum — which took him from a double-digit gap to the lead in Coakley’s poll in about a week’s time — has been arrested. On Wednesday night, Coakley’s poll put her ahead by two, 46 to 44. On Thursday night, Brown surged ahead by three, 48 to 45. And on Friday, it was back to a two-point race. In other words, a nail-biter on Tuesday looks likely.

Making matters even worse for Coakley is that these polls were most lkely taken prior to the Curt Schilling gaffe that he was a Yankee fan.
