I am going down to mass tomorrow to hold up signs

ugh commented:
I wish she had gone down today. Perhaps she would have been too polarizing.
Anyone else find the wording on “vote for an independent” is a bit odd considering he’s a Republican?

Good girl Sarah. Short, simple and true. Just what was necessary and no more.
anonymous commented:
Hope Mr. Brown will win today. He sure did have a good campaign. The Cape Cod Times in the Hyannisport are where former the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s home has endorsed Scott Brown for US Senate. This is interesting.
Militant Conservative commented:
Been telling All Ya’ll that WE SURROUND THEM.
The Lefts support is a mile wide but an inch deep.

Obama was knocking Scott Brown for driving a truck. It turns out that Brown drives a GMC truck. Didn’t Barry bail out General Motors with our money? So he’s knocking one of his own customers. Doesn’t make sense to me but when did a socialist ever make any sense?
hope commented:
Yeah! The day is finally here. I willl be going to vote this morning. I have made the phone calls, made the signs. Going to vote with my camera.
Old One commented:
Now lets go to work on my home state, California. Polls are showing Maam Boxer is vulnerable and her support is fading fast. Chuck De Vore is the man who can win the Senate seate for the Republicans not the Mc lame campaign apparatchik Carly Fiona,a RINO the national party has sent in to run against a homegrown conservative Chuck De Vore in the Republican primary. De Vore needs moneybombs and feet on the ground.
The vey active Pasadena TEA Party Patriots organization is helping to field a candidate to run against the lying Cong.Schiff for the House of Reps. Schiff when he is at home in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley he proclaims he’s a Blue Dog conservative but in Washington he faithfully casts critical votes for the Pelosi Politburo. Schiff is vulnerable in the Pasadena San Gabriel Valley district and with the growing opposition to Obama Death Care and Chrmn. Maobama’s fading approval rating lying Schiff can be eliminated.
The defeat of Maam Boxer, Schiff and other deciever stealth leftists who shout they are Blue Dog democrats here inCalifornia will have to be from grass roots conservatives. The Republican party organizations in most of California’s counties and at the state level are run by the completely clueless of the ilk of Mc Connell, Cornyn, Boehner, and Kay Bailey Hutchison.
California Republican Party organs have been mindlessly handing traditionally conservative Republican districts to the leftists for years by backing rogues, knaves, and stupids as candidates for more than twenty years. I know I live in one of the districts the state Republican Pparty stupidity has allowed to be gerrymandered to oblivion. As a result the area’s congressional seat long held by Republicans seat went to a Washington career democrat nlobbyist and influence peddler who married a very rich old man to bankroll her political ambitions, Jane Harman after the state legislature’s unimpeded regerrymandering in 2002. What is worse the state’s Republican Party did not even a squeal when my district, one that was republican for donkey’s years was dismantled to the gain of the Democorrupts.

Sending prayers for the Brown family.
Go, Scott, go!!

To #4. He’s running as the GOP candidate. But he has positioned himself the free-thinking independent people’s candidate speaking “truth to power.”
getfitnow commented:
I’m with you #19!

a campaign caller pointed out that brown will
vote in lock-step with the washington republicans…. we’ll remember this….

do you think she would vote in lock step with the democrats…….
palintologist commented:
Besides taking video cameras to polling stations, please, please, please take them to ACORN hq and hang around outside. Make them as nervous as possible, watching what they’re up to!
Cynic commented:
I can only hope Brown wins big. Otherwise I am a little uneasy about what Acorn and SEIU have planned for afterwards because law enforcement and the courts seem to turn a blind eye toward the Party of Corruption (Dem).
Nahanni commented:
palintologist,
1. Know the laws pertaining to this kind of activity. The Corruptocrat party is the party of lawyers and they will all sorts of legal hijinx to prevent people observing their activities.
A copy of Massachusetts General Laws pertaining to activities on election day can be found here: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elepdf/eledaylglsum.doc
All poll observers should read it and carry a copy of it.
If possible all blogs like GP’s here should post them for the widest dissemination possible. Most of the people involved today are neophytes to this kind of thing and need to know the laws so they know what is and what is not allowed. You can be sure that if they break the law the Corruptocrat thugs will make darned sure that they are arrested.
2. If possible all observers should go with at least one other person so there are witnesses if the Corruptocrat thugs pull anything. Remember that these thugs are cowards at heart and thugs are really brave when there is only one person for them to pick on.
3. Along with video recorders concealed audio recorders would be good too just in case the camera is taken away or smashed.
neomom commented:
For being so dumb Governor Palin sure does smart things. Staying out of it publicly, and assisting privatly. This includes the GOP orgs. I think they may be getting it too. Although I still think steele should go and be replaced by a serious Conservative. We must allow local politics to play out locally. I beleive we now have a template to, like the general said in Independance Day, take the sons O B#@ches down.

“Anyone else find the wording on “vote for an independent” is a bit odd considering he’s a Republican?”
It’s a constituency thing, she must say ‘independent’.
The Sanctity of Lifers in Mass have been eternally voting for the Party of Death because the Sanctity of Lifers are convinced that the Republican Party is backward.
Yes Mass is schizophrenic, however when your Sanctity of Lifer’s hospitals are threaten to be close by their Party of Death which is determined to establish federal government Death-Panel Care things dramatically change.
The Sanctity of Lifer’s WALLETS are affected, they have no choice but to change their standard pattern of voting for the Party of Death.
The darkness of such sweet irony is that after this election the Sanctity of Lifers will continue to believe that Republicans are ‘the backward ones’.
pjean commented:
I have been most energized by the knowledge that is being shared throughout this Brown campaign and beyond. From understanding election procedures, to election laws and other smart strategies, it’s simply mind-blowing. I’ve even seen several Democrats who see that the party of their grand-parents and parents has been hijacked by the Progressive and these Dems are sharing truly valuable strategies and information. This election has united SO MANY good people around solid American principles. Only good will come of all of this passion.
Sojourner commented:
Inordinately hopeful… watch out for the thugocracy; we’re praying for you, MA.
GODSPEED Scott Brown.
Auntie Em commented:
Praying for MA, too! God’s will be done.

Good Luck Scott Brown, the normal people in the country are cheering for you!
greenfairie commented:
To quote Hugh Hewitt, if it’s not close, they can’t cheat.
brooklyn commented:
Tweeting is a nice expression. But I think it is more appropriate to thank all those who were on the ground, in the works in MASS to make this positive potential.
Mr. Brown first of all, than Rudy G, than of course Mr. Romney who deserves great praise for his work in Virginia, New Jersey, and now for Mr. Brown:
Mitt Romney’s Man
by Samuel P. Jacobs

AP Photo If Scott Brown pulls off an upset in the race to replace Ted Kennedy in the Senate, he may have Mitt Romney to thank. Samuel P. Jacobs on the 2012 GOP presidential hopeful’s hidden hand.
There are a number of forces driving Republican Scott Brown’s surprising surge in the Massachusetts special Senate election campaign. He’s benefiting from public anger over the Obama administration’s health-care reform plan. He’s buoyed by a tide of cash from around the country, donated by conservatives eager to send a message by upsetting Democratic front-runner Martha Coakley. And then there’s the lackluster campaign Coakley herself has run.
From the start, Brown has been counseled by members of the Shawmut Group, a Boston-based consulting firm that acts as the Romney political brain trust in exile.
Largely overlooked in assessing Brown’s prospects: the hidden hand of Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor headlined at a fundraiser for Brown last October. And Romney has helped Brown raise money outside the state as well. “I know Scott and how determined he is to win. I’ve campaigned for him, raised money on his behalf, and we’re doing all we can to help him over the finish line,” Romney wrote supporters last Monday. Brown, 50, raised $1.3 million that day.
But lest anyone accuse Romney of being a Johnny-come-lately—stepping up only as Brown has vaulted from sacrificial lamb to serious threat—the 2008 presidential hopeful has lent crucial support behind the scenes from the start of Brown’s campaign. Ever since he entered the race to succeed the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, Brown has been counseled by members of the Shawmut Group, a Boston-based consulting firm that acts as the Romney political brain trust in exile. Among the many Romney disciples running Brown’s campaign are Beth Myers, the campaign manager of Romney’s presidential run; Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney’s chief spokesman; Peter Flaherty, Romney’s “go-to-guy for conservatives”; and Rob Cole, Romney’s 2008 deputy chairman manager. Beth Lindstrom, another player in Romney World, is working as Brown’s campaign manager. Lindstrom’s ties to Romney go back years; she started working with him in the Massachusetts State House as director of consumer affairs.
A Brown victory would be a huge upset—threatening the viability of Obama’s health-care plan and providing the GOP a burst of energy and confidence heading into the 2010 midterm elections this fall. It would also be a big boost for Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. Up against a populist wave on the right that favors candidates like Sarah Palin, Romney can improve his appeal and influence by gaining the loyalty of newly elected officials. And Brown is hardly the only GOP contender Romney is helping. The Hill reported in September, Romney’s followers have spread throughout the country to help candidates in Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and California. Most notable among them: Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman has a stable of Romney aides helping her try to her win the governor’s mansion in Sacramento.
