Scott Brown Answers Coakley Attack Ads — Coakley Scrambling For Obama Visit
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, January 14, 2010, 5:26 AM
Republican Scott Brown released a web ad to counter the recent attacks by Democrat Martha Coakley.
“Her attack ads are wrong and go too far.”
Meanwhile, Democrat Martha “Fenway” Coakley is scrambling to get President Barack Obama to come to Massachusetts this weekend to campaign for her.
She is in a virtual tie with Republican Scott Brown to fill the seat held by Senator Teddy Kennedy. On Tuesday she held a fundraiser with several top health care lobbyists in DC to help her raise some quick cash for her struggling campaign.
FOX News reported:
Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown issued a stern warning to President Obama, cautioning him to “stay away” from Massachusetts as he battles Democratic rival Martha Coakley in a heated race, the Boston Herald reported.
“He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one,” Brown told the Herald. “The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They’re bringing in outsiders, and we don’t need them.”
Polls indicate Brown, a state senator, and Coakley, Massachusetts’ Attorney General, are locked in a virtual tie to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. Coakley’s campaign is now scrambling for a last-minute boost from Obama before Tuesday’s election, the newspaper reported.
Coakley told the Herald on Wednesday that she hasn’t heard from the White House and would welcome any public support from Obama.
“I welcome his support, but we’ve got a lot of support here in Massachusetts (and) I think he’s got a lot on his plate in Washington,” she told the paper.

I talked about the mulitple reasons why Obama doesn’t want to get involved in Mass, and even if he does, he isn’t going to help:

Obama is frankly not all that popular. He cannot save Coakley from herself…heck, he couldn’t save the governors of New Jersey or Virginia either. This is clear desperation. Are Dem internal polls showing the race even uglier than we think it is?

The visits by Obama for the Democrat candidates for governor in the Virginia and New Jersey races worked so well, Martha wants him to come help her in Mass. I say he should go help her like he helped the others.

Polls indicate that Brown & Coakley are in a virtual tie? That’s MSM speak for Coakley is down by 15 points! Call in the messiah to save you Martha! He performs miracles!
Militant Conservative commented:
Contribute to the conservative candidate directly in any state you want. Defund the RNC to rebuild from the inside. That is what this race is saying. Scott Brown has an excellent chance to win. Dem’s have chosen the hill they wish to defend/die on. Let’s show them what a Tea party really is. Political death via the “living” voters. Come on down Barry use that god reverb and see what it will get you now. American is wise to your goals and plans. We are gonna make the next three years a living “christian” hell for you boy.
Chisum commented:
BO will only go to Mass if it’s clear that Coakley will win. Then he can take credit.
The fact that he hasn’t gone to Mass already speaks volumes.

I encourage President Obama to fly to Massachusetts to campaign for Coakley. That will be her campaigns final nail!
The Democrats keep thinking that they need to “rally the base” I would think at this point the base is about as rallied as it can be.
Her problem is with the Independents and reminding them about the corruption, back room deals, partisan governing, ignoring the will of the people, federal government insane spending, ever expanding Federal Government, the Federal Deficit, etc. by having Obama come to town would be completely insane!
What do you think the Independents thought about Martha Coakley and her excursion to Washington D.C. to a fundraiser attended by the very groups that Obama says are evil, the Insurance Companies, Medical Industry, & Pharmaceutical Industry.
Why would these groups support Nationalized Health Care when they are demonized as the problem? Doesn’t take too much intelligence to surmise that they are going to be bought off just like the congressman and we also know who is ultimately stuck with the bill!
The problem is their candidate and her message. Listen to here talk and hear all the unpopular programs that the Democrats are promoting: Cap and Trade, more federal dollars (debt) to create jobs, and Nationalized Health Care.
She is a walking liberal cliche’ that everyone knows will become a rubber stamp to the Obama agenda while she is telling the world that Scott Brown will vote in lock step with the Tea Party movement, Rush Limgbaugh, Sarah Palin, and conservatives, everyone of these individuals and groups at this point are far more favorable in the eyes of the public then the Liberals in Congress and the Obama Administration.

Obama’s Rasmussen approval is at -15 this morning. That’s gotta hurt!

I’m for Brown but for goodness sakes, who teaches these people English?
olm commented:
Why is it that we hear more from Obama on an earthquake in Haiti than on a terrorist attack in the US?
I think that question would probably help Coakley a bit.
Bobbi commented:
Let’s hope the Narcissist-in-chief goes up to Beantown. that will really put Scott in the winning circle.
Militant Conservative commented:
Well, Joe Kennedy’s e-mail has been shut down. Here is the automated respose I got.
Dear Supporter,
Unfortunately we have had to shut down this email address. We have been flooded by spam from Brown supporters including insults and threats of violence against me and my family. Please contact another campaign committee member with your request. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Joe Kennedy
Militant Conservative commented:
If this is what happened (volume of responses not violence or threats) Scott has an excellent chance of success. We surround them. Powder is dry.
JKB commented:
Okay, the successor to Kennedy’s seat, a giveme seat for the Dems and they are having to beg for the big dog’s active campaigning?
Even if Brown loses, he has reclaimed the seat for the people as it’ll be a long time before the Dems take this seat for granted again.
If Brown wins, then he will be the start of a change in the Republican party since he’d have done the impossible, capture a seat deep in Blue’s territory.
Mike commented:
If Coakley wants an endorsement from the president. Fine. So be it. A visit is totally unnecessary and inappropriate. I do not want presidents wasting their time going on the campaign trails of other politicians when they have more important things to do like their own jobs.

I’ll be really surprised if this one isn’t stolen like Franken’s and others. Too much is riding on it.
BO is probably marking ballots himself right now. He doesn’t have time to go to Massachusetts.
What a lie that Brown supporters are making threats of violence against Kennedy’s family! (#18) We know that’s work typical of the Dems. Their way of smearing their opponents, and appearing to be the victim.
Just like fake ballots, those calls, if at all true, could probably be traced back to the Oval Office…
Hedgehog commented:
Kennedy’s e-mail message tells me he was probably a spoiler put up to running by the Progs just to divide the opposition to Coakley and strip votes from Brown.
aprilnovember811 commented:
I would encourage Barry to go, he did wonders for NJ and VA.
KR commented:
Hedgehog #28,
That’s what I was wondering too. Seems to be one of the left’s dirty tricks.
just4kicks commented:
It was heaven getting rid of that Kennedy jerk! It’s time Mass. got some kind of ethics going for themselves. How long 47 years they had the Kennedy commie in there with his pro abortion views, a Catholic state, it was shameful. The Kennedy’s are white trash and always have been, money doesn’t always talk they are people with few morals if any! Keep their kind out! Let’s take our country back! Starting with Massachusetts.
Lovemycountry commented:
Show support for Scott Brown and at the same time shut down the Obama-Pelosi-Reid heirarchy? Give to Scott Brown’s campaign fund, NOW! THIS IS THE TURNING POINT! It is our biggest, best and perhaps last opportunity to save our country from these self-absorbed-egotists. If you love the United States of America, make your move NOW. Tomorrow may be too late.
