Did Republicans Already Win in Mass.?
Did Republicans already win in Massachusetts?
Not next Tuesday’s Senate election itself, of course — few observers really think that’s winnable even now, no matter how toxic the environment for Democrats these days.
But the fact that this is a race at all — or, at least, the fact that it’s being treated like a race over the final week — is itself a victory that tells important tales for both parties. A narrative for 2010 didn’t have to wait beyond the first month of the year to get written.
The pieces are there: the Kennedy seat, the fate of the health care bill, Tea Party fervor, an anti-establishment Republican, a Democrat clinging to a lead in the bluest of states.
Democrats are being forced to spend very real resources in a place they should not, by any calculation, have to worry about it. They’re being met by resources (perhaps a more renewable variety at this stage) that Republicans never dreamed would be worth spending.

There is literally a “tsunami” of articles, comments on the blogs and elsewhere talking about the ineptness of the Coakley campaign, coupled with that damaging photograph.

If this writer thinks the Tea Party is a problem for the Dems now, just wait until Michele and Sarah get done riling them up next month.

I was reading an article linked from Drudge regarding the changing of the “Doomsday Clock” by “concerned scientists”. Bunch of leftist garbage, but below the article was the following comment that I thought was a brilliant idea:
Someone needs to build a Liberties Doomsday Clock to counter that clock with its Mann-Made Global warming baloney, which is threatening to create a catastrophic destruction of humanity’s freedoms.
I like this because it is a graphic symbol that would show what we as a people have lost already, and what we still have to lose.

I see Coakley is now saying she is being stalked by Brown operatives and the man did that for her safety.
Now, I’ve seen pictures of Coakley and there is no f……. way I’d be caught dead stalking her.
Palin and Bachmann and Brown’s daughters YES!
-Coakley-NO!!
[6]
Doomsday Clock for Dems could be next Tuesday!!
[7]
Looking for volunteers to give Coakley a ride out to Chappaquidick Island this weekend?
Any takers?
[8]
-Coakley-NO!!
I doubt she would be even good for chum.
[9]
Doomsday Clock for Dems could be next Tuesday!!
Amen.

MI Conservative: “I see Coakley is now saying she is being stalked by Brown operatives and the man did that for her safety.”
Oh good grief! They KNOW this man is a reporter (he’s very well known in the Beltway…they just don’t like him).
Remember the photo folks! The Dems are through even pretending they’re not all about intimidation. The Black Panther voter intimidation in Philley (and on-going cover-up) was NOT an aberration!
[11]
Great post! Even if Coakley wins by a slim margin, this is not the way elections are supposed to go in MA.

“Did Republicans Already Win in Mass.?”
—
NO.
[13]
Coakley~~~where boners go to die.
[14]
I’d say that the dems are going to have to go all out with their fraud this year. People are mad, and even if we don’t win- if Brown gets close that will probably be their signal to roll out more purple buses and dig up more dead folks to get their votes.
[15]
ip-LOL I cannot believe I read that!
[16]
AS BROWN IS GETTING CLOSER,
THE ENEMY BECOMES VERBOSER,
THEIR SPHINCTERS THEY DO PUCKER,
THEY REALLY FEAR THIS SUCKER,
LET’S HOPE HE CAN DEPOSE HER.
[17]
I’d say yes, we won already, but hey, I’d feel a lot surer of my opinion if Brown was the next senator…..
[18]
BTW anything think he can he defend that seat in 2012 though?

[20]
Sure he can defend it. The Dems are only going to get crazier left.
[21]
OMG. This woman is freaking crazy. Even Teddy the whale would scold her for those remarks…..
[22]
“The Dems are only going to get crazier left.”
—> yeah and like 1/4 of them all live up there.
[23]
I hope Vermont secedes. Makes it easier for Texas and the other red states…..
[24]
What a fool, that would have been fatal in New Orleans to diss the Saints
To diss the Red Sox in Boston?
This woman has cotton candy for brains
[25]
Your cat would know better than that, even after lying in the sun all day….
