Ummm..... Suffolk University/7News survey?

Suffolk’s Political Research Center?

I think the pollster's name says it all: David Paleologos.

Coakley may well lose. The Democrats were far too smug about holding onto this seat but I'm not going to start worrying on the basis of some unknown small college pollster.

Shoot, even Rasmussen has Coakley ahead, if only by a few points. No one ever accused Rasmussen of being a liberal outfit. Not saying it can't happen, but there will have to be more shift than there has yet been for a Republican to win that seat. Will be an interesting one to watch.

Yep, just a little outfit. And I feel for those poor folks that live there, I was at ground zero in the 04 election and the bombardment was intense and irritating.

But what great entertainment!

It's a nail-biter, good theater too. So much hangs on this election. A Democratic win will only maintain their tenuous hold on the Senate but if the Republicans pick up this seat everything changes.

God damned filibuster! Imagine a party with a 59 to 41 majority being hamstrung by such a half assed rule.

A very un-democratic Senate claiming to be part of a democartic Republic. Hey, look at it this way Brown wins, the reform plan goes down in flames, the GOP crows but then come November they eat crow as the backlash hits.

Rob, if you could guarantee that scenario, I'd be all for Brown winning.

Well Winnie did say that we eventually do the right thing, that's Winston Churchill not Winnie the Pooh. Actually Pooh would be an improvement over some of thecertifiable idiots we have in there now.
