You’ll see the Drudge alarm go off, and this will turn into the biggest Massachusetts media event since the Louise Woodward trial – which, coincidentally enough, also involved Martha Coakley.

Part of me wants to see that. I need to know what it feels like to be Ohio every four years.

Snow birds and military folk – get your absentee ballots in.

Be verwy verwy quiet………….

Just send in the money

…his internals show a dead heat.

I sent $50.

what would it say about the national Republican Party, the NRSC, and the RNC if Brown wins this after they contributed a paltry $15,000?

This just feeds into everything I’ve been saying about the Republican Leadership for the last 2 years!

There’s an old WV expression that fits well here…”worthless as teets on a boar hag” comes to mind!

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

on Brown this morning: “Scott Brown banks thousands in per-diems”

Attention grabbing, no? Apparently, the evil and greedy Scott Brown had the nerve to take his legally alloted $26.00 per diem for 136 days:

“As of Dec. 23, Brown, who commutes 35 miles to the State House, pocketed his $26-per-day travel allotment on 136 occasions in 2009 – for a total of $3,536. That was on top of his $77,000 Senate salary.”

The comments on the article were about 95% BIG FRICKIN’ DEAL! And there were quite a few reminding readers of Martha Coakley’s sordid past and scandals. Heh.

If this is all the desperate dirt Coakley and her scary donkey pals can dig up, I’d say Scott Brown has a great chance of winning. That said, I fully expect the Dems to pull out all the stops to defeat him.

Erick writes: “It is true that were Scott Brown elected, health care would pretty much be DOA in the Senate.” I have read several places that if the Democrats use the Ping-Pong strategy that the filibuster cannot be used in the Senate. That doesn’t sound correct to me but if that were the case then Brown winning would not mean defeat of HCR. Can anybody clarify the status of the filibuster if the Democrats use the Ping-Pong plan.

Also, does anyone know Brown’s position on abortion.

He came within a handful in a 3 man race where he was the only candidate not on the line of a major party. That is a ludicrously good result. His only ‘mistake’ was belonging to a party that insisted on running a socialist instead of a conservative.

the Libertarian candidate, Kennedy, will take votes away from Scott Brown.

Idiocracy in action.

Here is what I don’t understand. If a reasonable candidate could run a spirited campaign in the bluest state, and possibly come within 5-7 points then why is it so hard for the GOP to run against Dorgan and Bayh in states with far more favorable demographics? Based on this poll the gop should crush any rat in a red state and win every purple state.

I have to say, I don’t like him. First off, as has already been mentioned, he is pro-abortion. I would hate to elect another person to a 6 year term that believes that the killing of babies is OK. But I understand the argument that he will not have any real effect on this law. Fine.

Secondly, he fully supports the 2006 Massachusetts Health Care Reform Statute. From his website: “In Massachusetts, I support the 2006 healthcare law that was successful in expanding coverage.” This law “requires nearly every resident of Massachusetts to obtain health insurance coverage.” That is unconstitutional. Why do we want a senator who favors the individual mandate?

On the environment, he comes out against cap-and-tax, but still sounds a number of the talking points used by left-wing environmentalists. “I realize that without action now, future generations will be left to clean up the mess we leave.” Horsecrap.

All in all, I believe he would be another Collins, Snowe, or McCain. Is this really the best we can do, and do we really want to spend resources and efforts here?

If Brown wins, maybe Congress will get the message, but after the elections of last year, (Pelosi: We won!), I seriously doubt it.

Crossing my fingers and toes that the folks up here in MA will discover they actually do have ‘common sense’ and vote for Scott Brown.

Watch the two latest ads from the Brown campaign at http://mittromneycentral.com/2010/01/04/tv-ad-scott-brown-and-his-trusty-aide/

Please donate whatever you can to the campaign and recruit others to do the same!

Cool. Let’s make this local. Let’s make this about Massachusetts’s unpopular and shamelessly corrupt local Attorney General…Martha Coakley. Liberals in MA are fed up with Coakley: Her stance on abortion. Her stance on the death penalty. Her stance on big business cronyism.

Let’s bring up Fells Acres, the Big Dig tunnel collapse, John Geoghan, the Menino “emailgate” affair…etc., etc.

And let’s not forget that 36 % of local Massachusetts voters strongly oppose ObamaCare, and only 27% strongly support it.

GO BROWN!

Read about Coakley’s stance on the issue of partial birth abortion here:

Long time Dems (influential Dems) are going for Brown. This guy grew up on Nantucket and played with the Kennedy boys over on MV so you know that something is afoot in MA.

Hannity says he will watch the race closely.

I think you are absolutely right, this race is about Massachusetts, which is exactly why Sarah Palin should stay out of it and not endorse.

Scott seems like a great candidate for Massachusetts. No question he seems to be the one with momentum.

He’s everywhere. He debated Coakley on TKK this morning. On turn on the other talk radio station, now I hear him on Howie Carr. And he’s doing Hannity today.

I respect that. There was some conventional wisdom that Scott just wanted to run a good clean race to boost his chances for AG in 2010, but he is campaigning like a man who believes.

Scott is campaigning like a man who wants and BELIEVES he can win!

Go Scott!

As one person explained that many of her FaceBook Friends that are friends of here daughter want to vote for Joe Kennedy because of the name. This in turn created a moral dilemma, do you tell them Joe Kennedy is not related or let them vote for the wrong person. From another on the phonebanks a person reported that she had thought Coakley had already won. Some that I have called did not even know there was an election of such national importance. The uninformed is a large majority up here thanks to the liberal media and education system. Make a call now and educate them!

I just donated more money. I don’t want to be outspent by Coakely and the seiu and acorn.

Lets show them we can respond in kind.

This is where I’m going to dig in and plant my heals against Coakely and the Obama agenda.

I hope others are with me. All we need is 8,000 people giving $35 each and we can match it without breaking a sweat.

Does not exist in Massachusetts. Said on John Batchelor’s radio program tonight.

I’ve lived here for 20 years now, and the last Republican we sent to Washington DC died 19 years ago. House or Senate. But this election is different. I have never felt this level of hatred for the status quo before. The energy for Brown is huge. My local selectman, a well-known, outspoken Democrat who is running for state rep told me today he was voting for Brown.

Regarding his views — he is pro-choice — that is not the same as pro-abortion. That is my view, too. I’ve been to a number of his fund-raisers, talked to him, and heard him speak. He’s good. He’s not a “squish”. He is definitely NOT Snowe or Collins or Specter.

More telling than his brownforussenate.com site is his state senate site. You can see what he has focused on over the years and what legislation he has sponsored. He is all about the money and the ethics. (Remember, this is a state where the last three speakers of the house have been indicted — Attorney General Martha Coakley has ignored all of them.) He doesn’t talk social issues. He doesn’t sponsor legislation about social issues. Those issues are lose-lose in Massachusetts.

Right now, he needs money. He doesn’t need endorsements from national figures or RNC or anything of the sort. He needs to get the Republican and Unenrolled vote out, but simultaneously keep voter turn-out low. It’s a tricky balance, but I think he can do it. If you have money to thrown at politics — this is probably the best money you can spend right now if you want to stop Cap&Trade, and possibly this Healthcare debacle.

Yesterday it was announced that the Dems are going to be making changes in committee to the Senate version of Obamacare.
