Brown Upset?
Jan/08/10 01:51 PM
A new independent Rasmussen poll released the other day reports that Republican State Senator Scott Brown is within nine points of Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley in the special Senate election to fill Ted Kennedy’s seat. Brown leads Coakley among registered Independents, who make up more than 50% of Massachusetts voters, 65 to 21 percent.
So...Dad, Jimmy, and I trekked down to Brown’s Plymouth campaign office to pick up a yard sign, which now proudly stands along Route 3A.
This is pretty startling news that could have far reaching consequences across the country. The poll shows that this election is not so much about the two actual candidates, but instead serves as a referendum on national politics. A victory by Brown, or even a single digit loss, should serve as a very strong wake up call to moderate and vulnerable politicians up for re-election in 2010.
So, make sure to go out and vote on January 19th. All the town halls already have the ballots, so if you’re trying to vote absentee, just go down and vote today.
