Important Special Election News In Massachusett(e)s

Here is some of the important news and observations in tomorrow's special election to fill the remainder of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's term.

The polls:

All of the latest polls are breaking for the Republican, state Sen. Scott Brown. Only a potential outlier, the Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll shows the Democrat, state Attorney General Martha, or according to Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Marcia Coakley, in a dead heat. All other late polls show Sen. Brown over 50% and Mrs. Coakley hovering in the low to mid 40% range.
Some caution. This is Massachusett(e)s. People there, take nothing for granted. If you are a Sen. Brown voter, get to the polling booth right away. Make sure to take some fellow Sen. Brown voters with you. And if you are a Sen. Brown supporter, make sure to do some poll watching to keep the Dems honest. As noted, this is Massachusett(e)s.

The weather:

According to Weather Bug, the forecast for the Boston area is for snow showers in the morning and snow and rain showers in the afternoon. This is a special election and the fact is that Democrat voters do not participate in large numbers unless it is a big election, say for governor, president and the like. The weather will, no doubt, be a factor in who shows up to the polls tomorrow.

The Big Mo:

No question, the Big Mo is with Sen. Brown. Not even a visit from the Dear Leader, President Obama, has caught any traction for the hopelessly over-matched Mrs. Coakley. An example from today by Time's Karen Tumulty, via Twitter:

Coakley rally, set to start in five minutes in middle school gym, is 3/4 empty. they've pulled curtain across middle of gym. 1/18 4:42 P.M. -

OK, if that is the sign of a winner, I must be in, oh say the old Soviet Union. It is the sign of a L O S E R.
Consider this at a Scott Brown rally yesterday:

“I’m Scott Brown, I’m from Wrentham, I drive a truck and I’m asking for your vote,” he said. Then he referenced Obama’s come-from-behind presidential campaign. “After all, who ever heard of a guy from Wrentham getting elected to the U.S. Senate? But as the president might remember, upsets like that have been known to happen.”
Oh, and there were over 2,000 at this campaign event. Oh, additionally the event was so overflowing that they had to have some people in a hotel and another building.

If you are in Massachusett(e)s, please vote for SCOTT BROWN tomorrow. You can and will make history.
