Democratic Alligned Polling Firm: MA Senate "Has Become A Losable Race For Demcorats"
Democrat connected polling firm (that was credible in VA and NJ races) says Coakley v. Brown is a real race.
The firm, Public Policy Polling, says they will release their numbers over the weekend but they are dribbling out some information on their blog.
According to their info, a plurality of those planning to vote oppose the health care bill and Brown's favorables are better than McDonnell's and Christies were prior to their races.
Bottom line.
This has become a losable race for Democrats- but it could also be easily winnable if Coakley gets her act together for the last week of the campaign. Complacency is the Democrats' biggest enemy at this point and something that needs to be overcome to avoid a potential disaster.
Jim Geraghty spoke with Brown this morning.
A taste.
"People know I’m the only person who can stop the debate on this monstrosity of a health-care bill and make them go back to the drawing board. I’ve had a lot of people tell me this isn’t JFK’s party anymore. They’re all about more taxation and more spending and not looking out for everyday workers. I’m for lower taxes and less spending, and I think the best way to stimulate the economy is across-the-board tax cuts. It was true in JFK’s time, it was true for Ronald Reagan, and it’s true now."
The question is, is that what people in one of the most liberal states want in a replacement for one of the most liberal senators in history? So far the answer is, they seem to be considering it.
There's just over a week until the election (1/19)...visit Brown's website to donate and/or volunteer.
