Puzzling Over Massachusetts Election Scenarios


Not since 1972 has a Republican won a U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts. The state has no Republican House members. Nearly 90 percent of the state legislature is Democratic. In the past five presidential elections the Democratic candidate has won an average of 63 percent of the state’s vote.

Yet polls in this most Democratic of states show a tossup in Tuesday’s special Senate election between Democratic candidate Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown.

Massachusetts voters on Tuesday could change the American political landscape by putting at risk President Barack Obama’s signature first-term legislation — health insurance reform — which needs to get 60 votes in the Senate to pass.

It seems that the folks have finally realized what the democratic party is all about. Thanks to Obama, Reid and pelosi they have revealed how dishonest the democrats are. Did I mention liers as well. Al Capone had nothing on the criminals in Washington now.

"Martha's opponent already is walking in lockstep with Washington Republicans," Obama told a rally crowd. "She's got your back; her opponent's got Wall Street's back."

"And I have everyone's back...the banks, Wall street, the auto industry, the health care industry, you name it, I got it covered."
