What we are seeing in the way of public polls and rumors about internal polls for the Massachusetts special election is just stunning. The last two public polls to come out had Coakley behind by 4% and 15%. I seriously doubt the 15% lead for Brown, but the fact is it is completely plausible given […]

Major Update: Jim Geraghty’s “number cruncher” confirms my analysis using an independent methodology and concludes: So the question remains what about the whole “special election dynamic” I believe it favors Brown, although, I think there will be some watering down of this advantage. What we are seeing is BROWN winning this race hands down. On […]

I would say today is going to be an interesting day in DC. Speaker Pelosi, Senate Leader Reid and President Obama are going to be faced with a whole new world today. This new world will arise as news of the pending loss of Ted Kennedy’s senate seat (see here and here for all the […]

Another Major Update: The writing is on the wall. Coakley’s internal polls show at least a 5 point loss, Dems pivot to damage control spin. “So right now, she is destined to lose.” It’s over. Major Update: Brown surges into lead in latest poll: The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, […]

Updates Below! Major Update: Looks like I may not be that far off: Coakley’s internal poll last night, I’ve been told, showed her barely ahead, 46 to 44 percent. The momentum clearly favors Brown, and one very smart Massachusetts Democrat I know told me this morning that “this may be too far gone to recover.” And that […]

Updates Below! It’s not a matter of wild speculation or some remote possibility with very low odds any more. There is clear evidence, coming in from all corners, that Scott Brown is surging with incredibly momentum late in the race to fill the senate seat of the Honorable Ted Kennedy. What is also clear is […]

Why are there so many independents (like myself)? Why is ‘independent’ the largest growing political movement in the nation? Because Americans are so fed up with the partisan BS that they are not only questioning the motives and capabilities of government in general, they are abandoning the entrenched parties and their army of talking heads, […]

The MA special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s seat in the US Senate is going to be a clear indicator of where the fire is for the 2010 elections. Is it with the Democrats and their far left, partisan agenda that has turned off nearly all the seniors and independents? Or is in a rising […]

It seems the Democrats are about to be rocked to their core (according to polls from PPP) due to a win (or near loss) by relative unknown Scott Brown in Massachusetts’ special election on January 19th to fill the seat left by Ted Kennedy: Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from […]

Rasmussen has a very important and telling poll out today on support for the two national parties. In what has to be a shocking turn around, Dems now trail the GOP in the generic congressional ballot by 9%! For me, though, is the message being sent by independents: Among all voters not affiliated with either […]
