Dead Heat
Click Cartoon for Larger Size
Depending on which polls you read, the race for Teddy Kennedy's former senate seat in Massachusetts is starting to look like a dead heat, with ripple effects that could impact the entire nation.
Republican Scott Brown has run on solid conservative principles in the traditionally liberal state, and (surprisingly) has been gaining consistently in the polls. If he wins next Tuesday's special election, he could effectively block the passage of the Democrats' healthcare bill...which is why Democratic money is pouring in to fund attack ads against him.
But conservatives are also digging deep into their pocketbooks...and a one-day drive to raise $500k for Brown quickly netted over $1.3 million.
Democrats are already worried about November's elections. But if Brown wins in Massachusetts, Hope n' Change predicts we'll see full-scale panic right now in the party of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. And gosh...wouldn't that be fun?

ReplyDeleteIn Barney Frank's Massachusetts, why am I not surprised?
Never has the question "What can Brown do for you?" been more appropriate ...
