Scott Brown continues to show improvement in poll after poll as the race winds down, and some even have him slipping ahead. I'd prefer to just be shocked and hope he wins, rather than believe ANY poll that shows him ahead in the Peoples Democratic Republic of Massachusetts. That said, a couple of things:
1. It never ceases to amaze me the way the Democratic party has turned a murdering, womanizing, boozing boor into a saint, whose memory is now venerated.
2. This party of unions, this party of "working" people (a pet peeve as you well know), seems to have a problem with Scott Brown's having been a "truck driver". Why exactly?
3. I think what we're seeing in MA, as we saw in NJ and VA, is that Barack Obama has no coattails. While he is a personally popular man, voter turnout and enthusiasm among Democrats plummets when he's not on the ballot. Implications? Dems have nothing to fear in defying him. This could be a real opportunity for Republicans.

I'm still very skeptical about those polls. What someone tells a pollster and how they vote are two different things. Mass is so damned diehard liberal I suspect when crunch time comes they'll pull the Democratic lever.
Hammer - That, plus, I wonder if Eric Holder has called his buddies at the New Black Panthers to provide "security" at the Mass polls.
Boston weather forecast may have an impact on the election.
Tuesday: Snow showers likely before 3pm, then rain and snow showers likely between 3pm and 4pm, then snow showers likely after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 37. West wind at 9 mph becoming south. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Smoothfur -- thanks for the forecast. Glad to see there is an upshot to reversing Global Warming.
