Brown v. Coakley: The latest
It was a big day in MA as Scott Brown held several rallies, one that was rather large and Martha Coakley rec’d a visit from our celebrity President. Daily Caller reporter Jon Ward tweeted an estimate of about 5,000 for the Obama/Coakley rally and 4,000 for Brown’s. Those aren’t official estimates, though, so take them with a grain of salt.
- Here’s video of the Coakley rally Obama spoke at.
- Republican lawyers are claiming that the current Senate seat holder, Paul Kirk, will not be able to cast a vote in the Senate after Tuesday’s election. Not sure if that’s true or not, but if it is, it’s no wonder the Dems are making veiled threats about prolonging the vote count process in MA (some are even joking about it).
- CNN’s Ed Henry reports that some Obama advisers have private expressed the belief that Coakley will lose. They may be on to something, as more polling is rolling in that suggests Brown has an edge going in to Tuesday’s special election.
- The Democrats have gone extremely negative, likely out of a sense of desperation. The MA Dem party sent out a mailer that read, ““1,736 WOMEN WERE RAPED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008. SCOTT BROWN WANTS HOSPITALS TO TURN THEM ALL AWAY.” It’s a complete fabrication, of course, but then again, we expected this kind of smear campaign going into the final days of this race, didn’t we? The Brown campaign has filed a criminal complaint over the matter, citing a MA law that prohibits false statements from being made about a political candidate:
A section of the Massachusetts General Laws prohibits false statements against political candidates that are designed or tend “to aid or to injure or defeat such candidate,” with a penalty of to $1,000 fine and up to six months in prison.
Brown’s got grounds for a complaint, here, but that law, frankly creeps me out. Not because I believe false statements should be made about political candidates, but because of who would be in charge of determining whether or not something was “false.”
Anyway …
- Contrary to rumors swirling yesterday, Senator Joe Lieberman has no plans to endorse anyone in the MA Senate race.

What was Obama thinking at Coakley’s campaign rally today? Telling voters a vote for Brown will result in a defeat for his massive economy busting socialist welfare health care system is like an arsonist telling the firemen that dowsing the building he just set on fire with water will save the building! Duh!
His speech was an excellent endorsement for Brown…although I’m not sure he and his Politburo realize it yet. The Brown supporters should be begging him to make speeches like that all over the state.
The Coakley campaign is really plumbing the depths with their mudslinging. I hope they get humiliated for it Tuesday night.
They’ll lose the initial election. It’s the recount that will screw Brown. Still, even if it comes to a recount, it will send shockwaves through the bluedogs and the “moderates” of the senate. Maybe a close call can kill Obamacare.
I hope the GOP here in PA are taking notes! Specter and Sestak are going to be rubber stamps for Obama’s Death To America agenda.
9.+ lead in polls?
Down goes Frazier! …Down goes Frazier! …Down goes Frazier!
So, Obama is reduced to mocking Brown for being a Lt. Colonel and driving a pick up truck? HUH?
Must be a Ford.
I hear they’ve considered hiring Gregoire of Washington state as a consultant if a recount is required or requested.
If they do, Gregoire could send truckloads of her homeless, felon and graveyard votes that were “overlooked” in her own last election and found only after the first and second recounts. If she’d loaded up properly on the first recount the second wouldn’t have been required.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
The Senator from MA is Paul Kirk. Mark Kirk is from Illinois.
MA, like CT where I am, has more Independent voters than registered members of either major party. Free thinkers can surprise people on election day.
Kurt,
I fixed that – thanks. Also added the link to the story about what GOP lawyers were claiming.
Tom, that’s the good news. The bad news is that, when necessary, many of those “independent voters”, just like in Chicagoland, are tied to the jackasses via their coffins.
I suspect this may be one of those times MA donks view as “when necessary”.
As I read Barnes’s argument, Kirk will be ineligible to vote in the Senate come Tuesday no matter what happens on Tuesday. Someone will be elected tomorrow. We may not know who was elected tomorrow until several months later, but the instant the polls close we will know that whoever was elected, it wasn’t Paul Kirk.
I can’t see a law like that passing constitutional muster, but if it did the burden of proof would surely be very, very high, not only in proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the statement was factually inaccurate, but also that the statement was made with actual knowledge of its falsity (a much higher standard than would apply in cases of ordinary libel or slander).
Scott Brown is the only rational, common sense oriented and truly worthy candidate there is. Period! End of story……..debates a waste of time and good effort.
I am afraid of a re-count. Being from Minnesota I saw first-hand how corrupt Dem re-counts are handled. If Franken wasn’t handed the senate position for MN we would’nt be discussing health care right now.
James, see my comment, #6. We hear so much about the “dirty tricks” Republicans do because the Democrats (and MSM, but I repeat myself) expect Republicans to do what Democrats would like to – and in fact – do!
