The hysteria is growing in neighboring Massachusetts over a possible GOP win in the special election for US Senate. Pundits, who like to be with a winner, are quickly hedging their bets and suggesting Scott Brown could beat Democrat Martha Coakley. Yesterday, Representitive Patrick Kennedy repeatedly called her "Marcia" in continuing to offer his families backing. Along comes the disturbing remarks of one of NBC's leftist entourage who is advocating cheating to deny Brown a win. Ed Schultz is the most ardent of the MSNBC talkers and gives insight into how far partisans will go to impose their orthodoxy.
Other screamers on behalf of Ms. Coakley, like the mayor of Boston, are telling black voters that Scott Brown's supporters are racists trying to make Barack Obama fail as America's first black President.
Ms. Coakley has campaigned poorly by all accounts, even insulting BOSOX legend Curt Schilling by erroneously calling him a Yankee fan.
What I think is driving Bay State voters to do the inthinkable is the notion that some really crazy lefties are driving the train in the Democratic Party and as such the national agenda. Pelosi, Barney Frank, SEIU, ACORN, and the list goes on.
Five years ago, a GOP slip from power began as voters in the middle became skittish with that party's leadership.
Most people are in the center of politics and the rantings of an Ed Schultz on what was once the Peacock Network not only frighten them but also set a horrible example for a new generation of citizens not very tuned into voting.
