Scott Brown takes first polling lead in MA race

By Aaron Blake - 01/15/10 08:47 AM ET

Scott Brown is showing his first lead in a poll on the Massachusetts special election.

Suffolk University has the GOP state senator leading Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley 50-46.

“Although the results show a race within the statistical margin of error, Scott Brown has surged dramatically,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk Political Research Center. “He is attracting independent support by a wide margin and even winning some Democrats who won’t vote the party line this time.”

The poll has Brown getting 65 percent of independents, which is on par with other surveys that show him neck-and-neck. He also holds more voters from his own party, 91 percent to Coakley's 78.


I don't know about you, but I'm hoping, praying and keeping my fingers crossed over this one... and I contributed to Brown's campaign!

Talk about miracles. Would the voters of the Peoples Republic of Mass. actually elect a Republican to the US senate after the 1000 year Reich of Teddy-the-killer? And one who might upset HIS plans for our health care system? Personally, i doubt it, but i'm also keeping my fingers crossed.

But keep this in mind. There are already secret, back-room plans to keep Brown out of the senate until the health votes are taken. Remember, there's a whole lot of people in the Mass. govt. who's jobs might be threatened by a non-Keneddy in power. Look for them to "pull out all the stops" to kill Browns chances! But it is funny to see them all squirming.

Talk about scared and desperate. Radical leftists from congress and the WH are joining forces to do everything they can to stop Brown in Mass. Can you think of a better reason to support him?
