Wow, what a shock

This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about above.

I beg to differ, PROFESSOR of Public Policy (WTF is that?) King…this election may be grassroots…

BUT it IS about healthcare…

I’m sure you’re glad you have tenure.

I want to believe that Brown can pull this off, but just cannot decide if this “Hope or Delusion”. Anyway, I’ll sedn him a few bucks and put his banner on my web page. Maybe for the second time in two years “Change is coming to America”

What, nothing about Brown’s ties to the teabaggers?

Watch out Dems! This man appears to have integrity on his side and that’s more than our current Congress seems to have!

I agree with that sentiment. I gave as much as I could spare on Monday and I pushed the idea across Facebook and some other sites I frequent. Now, it is all about getting out the vote. People in Massachusetts need to be inspired and recognize that this race is not a forgone conclusion. Each and every vote COUNTS!

I’ve given what few bucks I have left – usually wanting to stay out of other states affairs. It’s now up to you and your friends to contact, register and remind them how important this race is for the entire countries sake.

“Obama and the democrats as epitomised by Coakley and her approach”

Absolutely. It’s their arrogance that angers me the most. They will flat out lie and expect us to swallow it. I’m just not sure if they actually believe their own lies or just hold us with such contempt that they think we can’t see though them. Some examples…

The John McCormack incident: “I’m not sure what happened. I know something occurred, but I’m not privy to the facts.”

Yeah, never mind that photo of you standing right there as it happened.

“We were running a very positive campaign until an outside force by an extreme right Republican group came in and distorted my record.”

REALLY?

Scott Brown is just the breath of fresh air that we are going to start to see all over the country. He wins and he will inspire many others to run. For this to happen in Massachusetts of all places AND with the seat held by a Kennedy…..well, if that isn’t a sign that there is an Almighty smiling down and reaching out a hand to us, then I don’t know what is.

Poor Ted is probably whizzing around in his casket, at the thought of anyone dissing his beloved Red Sox fans. Especially since he’s lost a lot of weight and can move around now.

As the Boston Globe swings into full attack and smear mode, Scott needs your help more than ever. If you can give a bit of money or time, this MA resident would be eternally grateful.

Coakley apparently thinks getting out and shaking hands is a little beneath her and mocks Scott Brown for doing just that.
_____________________________________________

Coakley bristles at the suggestion that, with so little time left, in an election with such high stakes, she is being too passive.

“As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?’’ she fires back, in an apparent reference to a Brown online video of him doing just that.
