1. Hopefully the work the Dems have done the last few days is having an effect...

... and lets hope the trend continues upward.

[RBInMaine]

2. Awesome ! KEEP ATTACKING THE RIGHT WING F-ING ASSHAT !

[RBInMaine]

3. They are phonebanking bigtime all over the state, and the BIGDAWG COMES TOMORROW !

[bigdarryl]

4. OH SHIT!!! know wonder the race is getting close you mean theres a Libertarian in the race

I'm sick and tired of these 3rd party idiots being SPOILERS

[styersc]

5. I have an idea. Let's call them idiots long enough that they come

around and vote for our candidates.

[Robb]

16. Touché.

Good point, often lost around here.

[WeDidIt]

30. Joseph Kennedy is the Tea Party canididate. n/t

[RBInMaine]

6. When did this poll come out?

[DCBob]

7. Very fresh.. conducted January 12 through January 13, 2010

according to the linked article.. Very good news indeed!

[CalGator]

8. how accurate can these polls be that even show a close race?

I mean, 4x as many Democrats voted in the primary than Republicans. Even splitting votes among other Democrats, Coakley had twice as many votes winning her primary than Brown did winning his. It doesn't seem like that many Democrats will actually stay home during the election considering they showed up en masse for the primary, Coakley's raised far more money and has more money on hand, and... it's frigging Massachusetts. Shouldn't this really be along a 60% Coakley 40% Brown matchup? I am just not buying these last couple of polls.

[Betty Karlson]

25. Aparently, 17 % of the Democrats is considering to vote

for Mr Centerfold. A Paleologos poll just put Brown at 50 % and Coakley at 46 %, with 1 % undecided.

9. Hello.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[jenmito]

10. Do they disclose the breakdown of Dems. and Repubs. they poll? n.t

[grantcart]

11. it was a small sampling 500 but interviewed and not robo called

[jenmito]

12. The numbers are probably even better for Coakley since there are so many more Dems.

than Repubs. in MA, I hope.

[seaglass]

27. Party affiliation in MA from 2008 was

36% - D
11% - R
50% - unenrolled (we don't have Independent)

[RBInMaine]

13. I just donated to Coakley for the 2nd time. C'mon folks. Let's SLAM the TeaHaters !

[Arkana]

17. I'm up to $75 for her over the last 4 days and I may make another donation

at the rally in Worcester tomorrow.

[cliffordu]

14. What's Nate saying??

[grantcart]

15. Basically hes +8 for Coakley

[cliffordu]

18. It's a done deal, then, that guy is off the hook when it comes

to accuracy in these matters.

[grantcart]

19. Well the problem is that there hasn't been much good polling

2 out of the last 3 were robo polls

I saw Rasmussen and he was backing off of a Brown victory basically saying it would be a miracle.

[Mass]

20. Does anybody have any info on the latest Suffolk?

Given their track record, I dont trust them too much, but Andy Hiller (local NBC) is pimping his poll as a total reversal.

However, their latest poll has Coakley ahead by 30 (done in Nov), so this may be anything.

21. Stand With Martha~

:patriot::patriot:

She has Pres Obama on her site:bounce:

[Cha]

29. Another clueless disser who

likes to expose how ignorant they are.

[burning rain]

31. I saw his Interwebs video for her.

[burning rain]

32. I saw his Interwebs video for her.

It went out to people who are sure to show up and vote for her, anyway.

Word now is he's going to Massachetts to stump for her--if he does, I'll give credit where credit's due.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

22. I really hope we win this. ***crosses fingers for Coakley***

[graywarrior]

23. I'm going to the rally tomorrow.

I'll post pics later

[liquid diamond]

24. I'm still a little concerned.

Why the fuck is a republican keeping it close in Massachusetts? What the fuck is going on up there?!

[NYC Democrat]

26. Indies. and low information Dem voters who are voting against "the status-quo"
