re: #40 deeezle

Anyone paying attention to the Mass Special Election for Kennedy’s former seat?

Tea partiers are swarming, trying to repeat Ny-23 (well, except that they lost there). Scott Brown might raise a lot more money if he moves further to the right. However, the further right he goes, he further damages his chances to win.

Oh, and the independent candidate in the race is named Joseph Kennedy (no relation to the famous family). You can’t make this stuff up.

Last I heard, Brown had managed to narrow the spread to near-even with Coakley, the Democratic candidate. Until the Tea Partiers showed up. Once Malkin released her shit-flinging monkeys, Coakley jumped to a 15 point lead.

That news, however, is a few days old.

But right now, you’re correct that the TPers seem poised to repeat their actions, and the outcome, of NY23 by turning victory into defeat.
