Can Senatorial candidate Scott Brown do the impossible in Massachusetts? According to the latest poll: Yes. It looks like he is leading 50 to 46 as we enter the last weekend before the special election. Normally, i wouldn't care about a Democrat or Republican winning. But it looks like if Brown can win Ted Kennedy's seat, he will be the 41st vote against Obama's health care bill.
After following this race for a very limited amount of time, two things seem obvious: 1) Martha Coakley (D) is a horrible candidate and 2) Her campaign is surprisingly uninspiring.
This is in no way an endorsement, but Brown seems like the more competent candidate. He's seems more personable, confident and articulate than Coakley. The Democrat reads lines for her ads like she's doing a public service announcement on a public access channel. She has this strange wooden quality that is very unappealing. She may be a decent lady, but it's clear that she's running a bad campaign. And remember, if Mitt Romney can win in Massachusetts, just about anything is possible.
As strange as this may sound, a Republican may win in Massachusetts.
Nope, sorry but the three way vote split will kill Brown. Kennedy does not even have a chance there is a total press blackout of him. Sad because Kennedy might actually be the best candidate, but you know it is the money & media that really chooses the winner.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Kennedy will even get 1%.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if the media chose the winners, Kerry would have been president.
LOL the democrats are going to wind up voting for kennedy thinking he is RELATED to Ted kennedy. If anything that will help brown.
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts has elected many republican governorns, which is weird since they never do for senators or congressman for their state. Ive never understood that about states that are conservative or liberal that seem to give mixed voting messages. Which just shows that some voters truly are swing.
Well Skyding, the reason is obvious. If you are a good candidate running a good campaign, you will beat anyone who is a bad candidate running a bad campaign, regardless of political affiliation.
ReplyDeleteReginald, thats the thing I don't understand. I always vote on POLICIES not the candidate. Thats what boggles my mind that the american public is so stupid that they swing from one candidate to the next and its not based on any real root beliefs.
ReplyDeleteVoting on policy would mean that they would have to learn about policy. And that would require effort, so most Americans focus on personalities.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I don;t see how you can vote policy when the Democrats and Republicans have the same policy on the most important issues.
