Massachusetts shocker (3)
A new poll taken Thursday evening for Pajamas Media by CrossTarget – an Alexandria VA survey research firm – shows Scott Brown, a Republican, leading Martha Coakley, a Democrat, by 15.4% in Tuesday’s special election for the open Massachusetts US Senate seat. The poll of 946 likely voters was conducted by telephone using interactive voice technology (IVR) and has a margin of error of +/- 3.19%.
This is the first poll to show Brown surging to such an extent. A poll from the Suffolk University Political Research Center – published Thursday morning by the Boston Herald, but taken earlier – had Brown moving ahead by 4%.
The special election is to fill the seat held by the recently deceased Edward Kennedy. Kennedy, a Democrat, served in the US Senate for 46 years. A Brown victory could stall legislation supported by the Obama administration, including health care.
What follows are the questions asked in the poll with the responses:

This short clip is just too good not to re-post. There can not be a better example of the entitlement mindset of the left. Canadian Liberals are no different. Scott Brown is going to destroy Coakley as surely as Obama will be destroyed in 2012 (if he’s got the guts to run again but I don’t think his ego will let him).

Let us hope that the polling is correct and Brown does beat Coakley. So long as the Democrats completely control both houses in Congress, the fool in the White House will be running the show. To rein him in requires that the GOP be able to hold back, delay, or at least confront Obama’s agenda effectively.

Obama is heading to Massachusetts over the weekend in a bid to save Coakley. Obviously he didn’t learn a thing from his ‘Olympic moment’ in Copenhagen? He is becoming a liability, not an asset.

This short Obama political ad in support of Coakley needs no introduction. Just listen and read and watch those oh so lying eyes.
