Another Poll Shows Brown Ahead of Coakley in Massachusetts

The bad news keeps rolling in for Democrats eager to hold onto the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy–the seat they consider to be theirs.
From Newsmax:

The Suffolk University survey released late Thursday showed Scott Brown, a Republican state senator, with 50 percent of the vote in the race to succeed the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in this overwhelmingly Democratic state.

Democrat Martha Coakley had 46 percent. That was a statistical tie since it was within the poll’s 4.4 percentage point margin of error, but far different from a 15-point lead the Massachusetts attorney general enjoyed in a Boston Globe survey released over the weekend.

Last weekend a poll commissioned by Democrats was released which had Brown one point ahead of Coakley. Other polls have come out over the last week, some of which show Coakley ahead and others which show Brown ahead.

Regardless, this isn’t going to be the senate seat the Democrats can just waltz into as they expected.  I read that Brown not only raised $1 million in one day Monday, but he has raised an additional $1 million every day this week.

Democrats have held this seat for decades, and Massachusetts has been so liberal for so long, it is often referred to as the “People’s Republic of Massachusetts.”  So if Scott Brown manages to pull off this special election next week–and it looks as if he may just do that–it will send a political earthquake through Washington D.C. It could also affect passage of the unconstitutional government health care bill being reconciled right now between the House and Senate.
