Could the Dems really lose in Mass - Kennedy's seat? trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 03:19:29 PM
Truly amazing, but the Dems may lose a Senate seat in Mass.

New Dem poll has Brown up:

PPP: Brown up 5
Public Policy Polling's final survey finds Scott Brown up 51% to 46%, a result that's within the margin for error of the poll but which mirrors most other recent polls in giving the Republican a lead in the race.

The quick summary:

Over the last week Brown has continued his dominance with independents and increased his ability to win over Obama voters as Coakley's favorability numbers have declined into negative territory. At the same time Democratic leaning voters have started to take more interest in the election, a trend that if it continues in the final 36 hours of the campaign could put her over the finish line.

Striking numbers:

-Brown is up 64-32 with independents and is winning 20% of the vote from people who supported Barack Obama in 2008 while Coakley is getting just 4% of the McCain vote.

-Those planning to turn out continue to be skeptical of the Democratic health care plan, saying they oppose it by a 48/40 margin.

There are some basic flaws in your argument - 20/01/2010 03:18:58 PM 218 Views
America, like all groups of people, IS a collective, however diverse. - 19/01/2010 02:02:24 AM 353 Views
but it doesn't think like a collective - 20/01/2010 03:25:29 PM 208 Views
Yes, I realize human beings are selfish; that's something to overcome, not embrace. - 20/01/2010 06:21:33 PM 202 Views
Human nature can not be overcome it can only be redirected - 20/01/2010 07:03:46 PM 213 Views

Certainly, he wouldn't stand a chance without protest votes. *NM* - 18/01/2010 04:45:37 PM 111 Views
That whole "filibuster-proof" concept was a lot more valid... - 18/01/2010 04:44:51 PM 316 Views
I have seen this argument elsewhere and I am not sure it makes sense - 18/01/2010 05:28:57 PM 297 Views
It does not make sense if it's used in a partisan way, that's true. - 18/01/2010 05:43:10 PM 323 Views
I think the fillibuster is with in the spirit and the law on the constitution - 18/01/2010 06:03:55 PM 299 Views
Fair enough. - 18/01/2010 10:00:16 PM 227 Views
Any argument made by Dowd is suspect from the start - 18/01/2010 10:39:28 PM 268 Views
They should keep making them actually filibuster, yes. - 18/01/2010 10:09:01 PM 393 Views
