From last night’s debate [1] in MA:
Brown also bristled at suggestions that the seat he was seeking was a Kennedy seat, despite being held for decades by a family member or confidant.
“With all due respect, it’s not the Kennedys’ seat,’’ Brown said. “It’s not the Democrats’ seat. It’s the people’s seat.’’
Word.
neo-neocon [2] has the video (via Instapundit [3]).
Yesterday, Brown’s campaign raised an amazing $1.3 million online [4] to use in the last full week before next Tuesday’s special election. That is awesome, because you know Democrats will pull out all the stops [5] to make sure this seat stays in Democrat hands, even though reportedly the President himself has no plans [6] to campaign for Brown’s opponent Martha Coakley.
As to recent polling numbers for this race, they are all over the charts [7], but most still show Coakley with a firm lead. Pollster Scott Rasmussen analyzes some of the numbers here [8].
As to the questions why “Palin conservatives” would support Scott Brown, who some have suggested is more of a “centrist” than a conservative, I think Robert Stacy McCain does a pretty good job of explaining why here [9]. Chief reason?
Wresting Ted Kennedy’s former seat from the Democrats would be a major coup for Republicans, contributing to the clear evidence of an anti-Obama backlash represented by the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial victories in November.
Yep, and assuming the Democrats don’t follow through with their threats [10] to not seat Brown before the all-important healthcare “reform” vote in the event that Brown pulls off the huge upset, he’s vowed to vote against ObamaCare [11], and as I’ve said before, that works for me.
One week to go …
