Brown Now Leads- Support Him With Your Donation

The Massachusetts Senate race is now a toss up.

Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state, Republican Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 48-47.

Here are the major factors leading to this surprising state of affairs:

-As was the case in the Gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia last year, it looks like the electorate in Massachusetts will be considerably more conservative than the one that showed up in 2008. Obama took the state by 26 points then, but those planning to vote next week only report having voted for him by 16.

-Republicans are considerably more enthusiastic about turning out to vote than Democrats are. 66% of GOP voters say they are ‘very excited’ about casting their votes, while only 48% of Democrats express that sentiment- and that’s among the Democrats who are planning to vote in contrast to the many who are apparently not planning to do so at this point.

-Brown has eye popping numbers with independents, sporting a 70/16 favorability rating with them and holding a 63-31 lead in the horse race with Coakley. Health care may be hurting Democratic fortunes with that group, as only 27% of independents express support for Obama’s plan with 59% opposed.

  1. Doesn't Scott Brown support requiring people by law to obtain health insurance? That's what the 2006 Massachutts health care law (signed in by Mitt Romney) requires and he says he supports that. All you have to do is check Scott Brown's own website under "Issues"

    Scott Brown seems like another politician who uses partisanship to get elected. I do not see him as the type to stand on principle if elected.

    This kind of reminds me of how conservaters were so excited about getting Arnold Schwarzenegger elected governor in California. Well they aren't too excited about him now are they?

    Conservatives seem to be dooomed to repeat history over and over again.

  2. Brown has made it clear that he opposes Obama-Hitlercare and will vote against it if elected Senator of Massachusetts. That is the critical issue right now! We must stop the proposed health care "reform" being jammed down our throats by the Communists and Chicago thug in power.
