Wow! Scott Brown Cuts Coakley's Lead to 2 in Latest Rasmussen Poll …Update: Union Workers Paid By Coakley Are Voting Brown
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, 8:09 PM
Wow! Scott Brown is now only down by 2 percentage points in the latest Rasmussen poll.
Among independents Brown leads Coakley 71% to 23%.
Football great and former Heisman Trophy Winner Doug Flutie endorsed Scott Brown in his latest online ad:
The Massachusetts’ special U.S. Senate election has gotten tighter, but the general dynamics remain the same.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley attracting 49% of the vote while her Republican rival, state Senator Scott Brown, picks up 47%.
Three percent (3%) say they’ll vote for independent candidate Joe Kennedy, and two percent (2%) are undecided. The independent is no relation to the late Edward M. Kennedy, whose Senate seat the candidates are battling to fill in next Tuesday’s election.
Coakley is supported by 77% of Democrats while Brown picks up the vote from 88% of Republicans. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Brown leads 71% to 23%. To be clear, this lead is among unaffiliated voters who are likely to participate in the special election.

It’s Panic Time— The Democratic National Committee and the Martha Coakley campaign have blasted a private memo to top national Dem donors claiming internal polling shows the race is “very tight” and making an “urgent” appeal for donations.
UPDATE: These union workers were paid by the Coakley Campaign to hold signs last night but told the camera man that they’re voting for Scott Brown:

From the report:
Scott Brown is a class act. He marched up the road with a banner and a group of supporters, stopping to shake everyone’s hand along the way. There were chants of “Go Scott, go!” the entire time. Coakley, per elitist fashion, whisked up in a stealthy and anonymous car.
One of the union workers actually turned around and said “I’m paid to be here, but I’m voting for Scott Brown. I just need the money, but don’t tell anyone.”
More… Obama’s SEIU friends just dumped $685,000 into the Coakley campaign.

That’s interesting, because if I remember correctly, when Flutie played for the Bills he was a big supporter of Hillary Clinton’s Senate run in New York.
OregonGuy commented:
This has become a “lose/lose” for the Democratics. You don’t recover from this kind of viral energy without long-term loss. Even if Mr. Brown loses, the frustration of his supporters will allow Mr. Brown to choose just about any post he wants in the next election.
Can they steal the election? Yes, of course. But, I would caution against it. It could end up with a major re-alignment, and the Democratics would never be able to figure out why?
Lao-Tzu, baby.

Fox News is reporting that Senator John “I served in Vietnam” Kerry and President Bill “I never had sex with that woman” Clinton are being dispatched to Massachusetts to campaign for Coakly.
I’m sure that will impress the Independents, not!

DemoNRats will cheat their way in

Watch for: Black Panthers at the polls… as well as purple-shirted SEIU memebers…don’t forget ACORN will be out in force mucking up polling places too…preview of things to come November 2010…. nation-wide… hang on it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

I didn’t know Doug Flutie was an American, but I’m glad the Canadian Football League great one isn’t a communist.
But that Coakley, she is a sneaky one. The “dead” don’t mobilize until election day and they don’t care about no “stinking” poll.
It’s not over until “oprah” sings.
Dick Turpin commented:
This is a great bit of theater. I am really pulling for Brown. Coakley is so incompetant that its sadly funny. What’s even better is that the Chairman is also so poorly looked upon by the masses that he hasn’t even been asked to help Coackley campaign in arguably the most left leaning, socialist utopia’s in the country.
Looks like the ACORN bunch had better work overtime to create all of the false voter registrations possible before Jan 19th. Maybe all of those ‘voters’ will put Coakley over the top….but thus far it doesn’t look good.
nadadhimmi commented:
Flutie was a Great Boston College quarterback which is why he has clout there. I agree, Acorn and the SEIU are Communist organizations and can steal at least 5% of the vote and that insures Coakley a victory. Meanwhile, the natives are getting restless, and their hate of the government is growing. The conservative insurgents are strengthening and the Dems will brutally suppress them as do their fellow mullahs in Iran.
Opus #6 commented:
Let the Dems deplete their coffers. I hope they do so and LOSE all the same. Would serve them right.
Mechan8 commented:
Is that the best they can do, sending “Wild Bill” up here along with “Lurch” Kerry…can’t you just see that “money shot” now…Lurch, Wild Bill (hope he doesn’t bring any of his chicky poos with him)…and Stone face Martha!
Give it a rest, we need fresh blood!
Go Brown!.
Rusty in Alaska commented:
Wow, I seen to remember that Flutie was a big Clinton supporter in the past.. Has he finally grow’d up??

Maybe the MA voters can ask Slick Willie who his current squeeze is…or Kerry can tell them what’s it’s like to be a big loser.
DrJim777 commented:
You have to be registered in MA to vote 2 weeks before election, To late for any late Acorn fraudelent registrations. The leftards were not expecting the Massachusetts citizens outrage about Washington. More than half of Mass. voters are independants and they are awake and moved to action. Poetic justice that it is Eddie (off the Chapaquoddick bridge) Kennedy’s old senate state. Go Massachusett Citizens. They did start the revolution in the 1770′s
Mike M commented:
Nothing like a visit from Bill Clinton to help motivate the Republican (what little there is in MA) base- these Dems never learn!!
Go Brown- this would be the biggest political upset E V E R !!
pjean commented:
This Coakley campaign is so “organic”, so “grassroot”. Cough….SEIU, cough….lobbyists.
Gman commented:
Bill Clinton’s only request at a campaign stop for Coakley is that he would like there to be some blacks there to fetch him coffee when he wants it.
noislamocommie commented:
Man…what a scream and now she pissed off the garden ladies to boot!
Sounds like this mat turn out to be a mardi gras street scene for scott with each passing day.If he wins he needs to have Sara personally get on stage with him ….maybe even Rush too and pop a champagne bottle.
Jamest155 commented:
As a NJ resident, it was awesome to see Chris Christie win over corzine. NJ is also an extremely liberal state and it is almost impossible for a republican to win. But the anger was palpable in NJ and the republicans were extremely energized and Christie was a great candidate. I hope that the same can be said in MA.
Callipygian1 commented:
Callipygian1 endorses Scott Brown. I hope that helps to sway the sardonic poster block…
Good luck Scott, I hope this is yet another victorious skirmish in the War to retake America
Hedgehog commented:
I think that the corrupt Democommies getting a sense of how deep the discontent among the taxpaying public is. They are going to pull out all the stops on this one. As Coakley correctly noted at her “fundraiser” (as reported at NRO), a loss in this race will make 2010 a tough year for them. I hope that Scott’s campaign has enough poll watchers to minimize the vote fraud that is certain to occur.
Joe commented:
GO MARTHA !
….GO AWAY!
……..GO FAR AWAY!
………….and stay there!
