Brown's popularity is yet another devastating referendum on Obama’s disastrous first year in office
Mutiny in Massachusetts
By Joy Tiz Sunday, January 10, 2010 CanadFreePressRepublican Scott Brown is nipping at the heels of Democrat Martha Coakley in the race to replace the late Senator Ted
“Brown is benefiting from depressed Democratic interest in the election and a huge lead among independents for his surprisingly strong standing.

It was only after the toddler’s mother filed applications for criminal complaints that Coakley won grand jury indictments charging rape and assault and battery.
Even then, nearly 10 months after the crime, Coakley’s office recommended that Winfield be released on personal recognizance, with no cash bail. He remained free until December 2007, when Coakley’s successor as district attorney won a conviction and two life terms.”
Whether Brown is elected or not, his popularity is yet another devastating referendum on Obama’s disastrous first year in office.
