I am predicting that the Senator will be doing a lot of speaking for the people of Massachusetts tomorrow night. "The people of Massachusetts this and the people of Massachusetts that...blah, blah blah..A new L.L.Bean Barnjacket for everyone who votes for me, and a pickup in every driveway.
Copy that.
If we elect Ms Warren, it will be a sad day for the State and Country. Socialists never fare well in the Senate! She is truly a dope.
That's great for Scott Brown and the people of Massachusetts!
Everytime Scott opens his mouth it is apparent that he is in well over his head and is struggling to sound halfway intelligent mouthing words someone has read to him.

That's curious......in every other media outlet, the UMass/Herald poll is reported as 50% for Brown vs. 45% for Warren w/ a 5 point margin for error........but the Globe reports a 49/45 split. Does bringing the more closely within the margin of error make the Globe staff feel better about having to report the results of this poll? You guys are damaging your credibility as a responsible news source!!

What wonderful news. The box checking fake Indian will soon be back to Harvuud full-time. Excuse me, I mean three hours a week for $375,000 per year.
Yesterday, when a different poll showed Warren ahead of Brown, you questioned the accuracy of that poll. Why, then, do you think this one is more accurate?
"The organization’s previous poll, taken in *December*, showed Warren leading by 7 percentage points."
When will they take the next poll, a year after the election?
As was clearly shown in Wisconsin, polls mean nothing. I know that I, a Republican, NEVER divulge who I am going to vote for to an unknown voice on the other end of a phone line. It's no one's business but mine. I suspect many other Republicans feel the same way. Also, I am definately going to vote and every Republican I know is going to also. Maybe Dems are more chatty with strangers, and a bit less likely to actually vote. That might determine things much more than any poll.
The Boston Glob and its liberal media peers such as WBUR have been ecstatic that four polls - count them, four polls - have pushed Professor Lizzy to the head of the election campaign class in just one week. Wowser, Bowser. Now along comes a fifth poll that finds Lizzy seemingly put behind a guy in the minds of some voters. Shame, shame, shame... What about Title IX?

We voted for Brown over Coakley... and we actually LIKED Coakley a little! At least Coakley is from Massachusetts and not Oklahoma! NOBODY likes Liz Warren. Ask them!
Ask Nobody? Brilliant suggestion....
I and most of my friends, relatives, and acquaintaces do like Warren. We're all from Massachusetts and we're all going to vote. I do know some people who like Brown better. I guess I just have a more varied group of acquaintances than you do. The polls seem to show an almost even split, give or take some points. That seems to jibe with my experience around the state. I guess not for yours, though.
Frankly, I like Brown! The problem I have is his embrace of "job creators", you know-the people he described as up until after midnight creating jobs for the rest of us (someone should inform Brown that the "job creators" have been doing a lousy job for the past decade ever since Dubyah gave them the tax cut which was supposed to create more jobs but led to a depression!)
