Massachusetts Senate Race is a Toss Up

By GottaLaff

Um, exsqueeze me?

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Massachusetts finds Scott Brown (R) leads Martha Coakley (D), 48% to 47%, and is "buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state."

"Here's the reality: the Republicans and GOP leaning independents are going to come out and vote for Scott Brown. There's no doubt about that. But there's also a much larger pool of potential Democratic voters in the state. If Coakley can get them out, she wins. But this race is well past the stage where Democrats can take it for granted that will happen. It will be fascinating to see what happens the final ten days and we'll do a second poll on the race next weekend."

Democrats, are you listening? Don't get lackadaisical now, we can't afford it. Rev up and vote. And rev up other Democrats to vote.

A Republican cannot, must not, take over "Uncle Teddy" Kennedy's seat. It's a simple as that.
