Coakley will lose
Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday.
The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama's visit to Massachusetts on Sunday - coupled with a late push by Democratic activists - could help Coakley pull out a narrow victory in an increasingly tight race against Republican state Sen. Scott Brown.
However, the presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley's chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.
But White House spokesman Bill Burton told CNN: "The President is in Massachusetts today because he believes Martha Coakley is the right person for the job and indeed will be the next senator from Massachusetts."
I fear that Coakley might win 51 to 49 % ... thanks to Acorn & Co.
Let's hope for the Cinderella upset
Like my grandma used to say, George: "Ojala que tu boca sea santa...."
"The President is in Massachusetts today because ......" he HOPES that the bad luck he's brought to every crucial state election this year will somehow miraculously CHANGE.
Well, considering how the Obama visits to the Olympics bid, and the Copenhagen global warming summit went, I'm not concerned about the Obama visit helping Coakley.
I also fear that once again a car with extra ballots for Coakley in the trunk will show up AFTER the election and ....
Considering how dead Demoncrats tend to vote at every election. It' wouldn't suprise me a bit if Ted Kennedy himeself casts a vote for Coakley.
