Scott Brown in Massachusetts Senate Debate

Check out this awesome video from the U.S. Senate debate last night. The moderator asked Republican candidate Scott Brown whether he would sit in Teddy Kennedy's seat and vote to kill health care reform. Brown's reply: "With all due respect, it's not the Kennedys' seat and it's not the Democrats' seat; it's the people's seat." Wow!

By the way, Brown raised over $1,000,000 in one day yesterday, and polls are showing him running competitively in Massachusetts, a state that hasn't elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate in nearly 40 years. Even in left-wing Massachusetts, ObamaCare has only 43% support. If Republicans are competitive in this state, imagine how bad it could be for the Democrats in the rest of the country this November....

Hey, a Rasmussen poll with 1000 LV shows Coakley with only +2 lead. Maybe this thing is going somewhere!

It's very surprising. I would never have thought this race would be competitive, but Brown is tapping into some real frustration on the part of voters and he is running a great grassroots campaign. The Democrats are running a barrage of negative ads against Brown in the final few days of the campaign. It remains to be seen whether this will help the Democrat Coakley squeak out a win or whether it will backfire on her and turn off voters. I don't know the answer to that....
