This was mostly in technology and communication equipment and similar esources. Have no doubt there internal polling Statewide was being given to him. A smart move and it again was quiet.<br /><br />THE NRA has spent money too.

Because they have succeed...A masterful hand indeed. Because they have succeeded in calling out the dirty tricks and goons squads, and they have made this a referendum on Obama himself. Beautifully done, if true.<br /><br />It's that she has stated that she will be one of those who blindly backs his agenda - that she will vote for bills she hasn't read, will march in lockstep, will be the good little partisan animal.<br /><br />The situation really is a referendum on Obama, Pelosi and Reid, more than even Coakley herself. It isn't her own transgressions, her own bad decisions that is killing her, it is her complicity, entered into willingly, even though she was not a supporter of his, and should know better.

Maybe it was NRSC polling data. Or maybe is was just pure political instinct. But something told him that if he ran a clean, positive campaign positioned as a populist independent (despite the "R" next to his name) he had a chance of winning.<br /><br />Why else would he be willing to tour the state in the dead of winter shaking hands, kissing babies, and attending numerous rallies if he really believed he was a 30 point underdog with virtually no chance of winning?MaggotAtBroad&Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493406951892285654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-87909831714490290362010-01-17T12:21:19.231-05:002010-01-17T12:21:19.231-05:00I think 'ThomasN' has it right.

It did not... which is why we were compelled to intervene.<br /><br />I would NOT have made the financial sacrifices last few weeks to fund a candidate that I only just learned about here...at a blog... <br /><br />Do we need to 'apologize' also because we share your criticism of a a self-defeating organization? <br /><br />The first shot heard around the world wasn't fired by the NRSC.

Brown has surged masterfully at just the right time but I never thought Coakley would implode so badly.<br /><br />I went to a campaign stop in Holyoke this morning and shook Brown's hand. I'm going to try to post pics and/or videos if I can figure out my new camera.<br /><br />Brown's going to win this thing.
