Can Scott Brown win in Massachusetts? Or does Martha Coakley have it in the bag?

I think it's possible because of a few reasons.

1) Typically low turnout in special elections.

2) Republicans vote in higher percentages during special elections.

3) Since there is so much anti-health care, anti-cap and trade, anti-socialism rhetoric, more Republicans will vote.

Unfortunately, living in MA, the newspapers have been essentially silent. And if not, most every article about the election, while attempting to be non-biased, shows only a picture of Coakley.

If a Republican won, it would be such a breath of fresh air only because the Independents (me) and Republicans would actually feel as though their Presidential votes may actually matter. It would change the entire political landscape.

I believe Scott Brown can win in Massachusetts because of the hard economic times alot of people are having there. People voted for the Kennedy's no matter what and for the most part they did some good but it is time for change.

It looks as if both LetusPonder and Marydr were correct.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
