Will There Be a Great Flushing Sound In Massachusetts’ Tuesday?

Republican Massachusetts State Sen. Scott Brown could flush Democrat state Attorney General Martha Coakley’s campaign to replace deceased U. S. Senator Ted Kennedy. Everybody “knows” a Republican can’t be elected in Massachusetts – except for Mitt Romney and maybe Mr.  Brown.

Every candidate named Brown generates the slogan “If it’s “Brown Flush It Down” and Scott is no exception. But, less than 48-hours before Tuesday election it is still uncertain who will have the ignominy of being a guest in the political crapper.

A Suffolk University/7 News poll released Thursday night indicated that 50 percent of likely voters backed Brown, compared to 46 percent supporting Coakley. Another 3 percent of people questioned said they back Joseph Kennedy, no relation of Ted Kennedy’s clan a third party candidate running as a libertarian. The poll’s sampling error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

Two well-respected nonpartisan national political analysts, Charlie Cook and Stuart Rothenberg, rate the race a tossup.

The race is more than just one Senate seat. Coakley would be a reliable 60^th vote in the U. S. Senate breaking any Republican chase to fillibuster Obama’s agenda. Brown on the contrary would happily end Obama’s yearlong reign of political terror and be a happy warrior talking liberal bills to death.

The situation is so serious, close and important Obama elected to miss the NFL Playoff Sunday and flew to Massachusetts to campaign for Democrat Coakley. If Obama’s descending from the sky can’t pull it off having lost two governor’s mansions..
