Bill Clinton to visit Mass. to stump for Coakley
January 9, 2010
The former president will speak Friday on behalf of the Massachusetts attorney general. She is locked in a competitive race with Republican Scott Brown to succeed the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. The special election is Jan. 19.
Massachusetts was among Clinton's most supportive states during his two terms, and he previously taped an automated call on Coakley's behalf.
Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, will also break away from hip surgery recovery to speak at the rally. Democrats deny they are concerned about Brown staging an upset.

How'd that work in NJ? :lmao:
-
Maybe he is going to share some secrets on how not to get caught :loser:
-
I'm looking forward to this. Every place else der Schlickmeister campaigned for some Dim'Rat since he left office, the Dim'Rat went down in flames. It'd be nice to see him keep his perfect record.

Oh my.....there's a sleezy tell all political book coming out this week claiming Bill carried on an affair during Hillary's campaign for President....oops

This may help Brown :-)

Someone needs to ask him about during every campaign stop he makes in Massholistan.

How telling it is that Obama is too toxic for anyone in his administration to campaign, they have to rely on BJ Cliton.
I think BJ has made peace with Obambi because Obambi has fallen from grace so far and so fast BJ's ego no longer feels second-best.
-
The race has tightened up and the Repub has a shot at winning. Bubba appearance will have no effect on Coakley's campaign. If the Repub win this Senate seat on Jan. 19th, hopefully that mean the death of the health care bill.

Clinton isn't going to translate to a bump in the polls. Coakley is a boring snooze fest who is borderline communist.
Brown pulling off a win will throw the 2010 mid-cycles elections on it's head. Liberal panic will be just delicious -- they will turn on the Messiah overnight, and regardless of whether he has the senate delay swearing Brown in, I see a lot of Democrats changing their vote.
Oh please let him win. :popcorn:
-
C'mon, FL--as much as I too want to see him win, I'm not going to hold my breath. Increased turnout helps Coakley, not Brown.

He is up by one point in the polls now. Dude could seriously win, and when he does in THIS state, it will be a clear, chilling referendum against the Messiah.
Please please please let him win.

Also note that Moveon.org and Clinton wouldn't be coming to MA if she was a slam dunk (especially when Kennedy being the one who endorsed Obama and not his good friend Hillary).
Obama is coming no where near MA. The DNC can see the writing on the wall.
-
Oh, I agree that Obama is even becoming poison in the blueblood Mass. circles, particularly when he can't even sell out a damned fundraiser in Boston, fer cryin out loud.

lol, true enough.

Indeed - To add to this mess I fully expect to be delivering gigantic postcards DAILY supporting Coakley funded mainly by MoveOn - this sort of effort in a sure-thing for the Democrats tells me that their internal polls aren't as rosy as they would like,
I still expect Coakley to win, but the closer the race, the better. A blowout victory would only assure the Democrats that we are willing to take it deep and hard. That willingness to do as they please without consideration needs to come to an end.

Not quite. I don't remember if Klintoon campaigned for Jim "Waterhead" Webb or Mark "Buck-toothed Moron" Warner in Va or not, but I think he did....
However, he's well over .800 or .900 in his loss/endorsement ratio....

I HATE "political season" at the Post Office, and here in VA, that's EVERY SINGLE FALL!
Paper cuts are the order of the day, and the federal elections are worse than the local ones. 3-4 times a week for 2 months, each candidate for every office and/or the DNC/RNC is mailing out flyers....

I remember that he campaigned for Mario Cuomo in 1994 in NY. Cuomo got beat by a relatively unknown NYS Senator named George Pataki.

I don't know ... he was so effective campaigning for Hillary ...

So Brown is a point ahead?
A wise man should always grant the democrats several percentage points to allow for the inevitable fraud.
-
The Worcester Telegram & Gazette (large Central MA newspaper) endorsed Brown today. That is rather significant and sends a shot across the bow of the governor and lt governor (Tim Murray, former Worcester mayor who was wildly popular when he ran with Patrick, and now has fallen completely from grace with Central MA voters):
That lockstep mentality and one-party rule has not served the people of Massachusetts well on Beacon Hill, but led to a culture of corruption and arrogance. The same has been true on Capitol Hill, where, whether under President Bush or President Obama, large majorities for one party or the other have led to complacency, overspending, and a willingness to shutter debates and muffle the voice of the people.

Translation: Hey coupe deval and the Messiah -- you can keep your damn change. Yes, yes we can kick your sorry asses out of office.

Interesting person Bill, years ago he was handsome, now he looks like Hell.
Poor fella, he is like the neighbor that was 50 years ago a real hunk and a big time player. Today he is just another part of the pages of history.
What is he up to these days, he is charge of nothing, his wife hates him [ perhaps] and I imagine he wonders why he of all president were called out for having a second life with wine, woman and song.
What gets to me is the number of the Senate spoke out hi morals and they themselves had a Conchie in the wing.

Pretty much confirms what I've been saying all along:

Looking Closer at the Massachusetts Senate Polls
By Scott Rasmussen
Monday, January 11, 2010
(excerpt)
On the surface, three recent polls on the upcoming Massachusetts special election to fill the Senate seat of the late Edward M. Kennedy seem to tell three different stories.
A Rasmussen Reports poll, released last week, shows Democrat Martha Coakley leading Republican challenger Scott Brown by nine points. Two new polls released over the weekend show wildly different toplines. A Boston Globe poll puts Coakley up by 17 points, while a survey by Public Policy Polling (PPP) finds Brown ahead by a single point.
As always, it’s important to look at what the polls have in common to learn the real lessons from the data. A closer look at all three shows a lot of common ground.
First, all three surveys show Coakley right around the 50% mark. The Rasmussen poll has her right at 50%, while the Globe shows her three points higher and PPP three points lower. If Coakley is truly right around the 50% mark, then the race is hers to lose, and Brown’s best possible scenario is a very narrow victory.
Second, all the polls show that a lower turnout is better for Brown. In the Rasmussen poll, Coakley leads by nine overall, but Brown pulls to within two points among those who are certain to vote. In the Globe poll, Coakley leads by 17 overall, but among those who are “extremely interested†in the election, it’s 47% for Brown and 47% for Coakley. PPP shows a toss-up but suggests it’s close because of low turnout among Democrats.
Finally, the Globe poll and the Rasmussen poll show identical vote totals for candidates other than Coakley. The Rasmussen poll finds 41% for Brown and did not mention a third-party candidate by name. The Globe shows 36% for Brown and five percent (5%) for independent candidate Joe Kennedy. It’s interesting that both polls show 41% of the vote going to a candidate other than Coakley.
=====================================================
Basically goes on to say that if this were a regular election, Brown would get smoked. So while a narrow margin is encouraging, we shouldn't read too much into it, particularly as far as predicting results in November.

Y'all seem to forget that these voters for 40 years kept sending a murderer back to the senate. They're so used to voting for pond scum they'll vote for anything with a "D" before the name.
-
Vast Teddy won the seat in 2006 with 69.3% of the vote. Lurch won his re-election bid in 2002 with 80% in favor. I'd say anything less than 65% for any Dem in MA running for Senate will mean big trouble for the 2010 elections nationwide.

Bill's getting a lot of negative publicity lately for 'Game Change' which hits the shelves any minute now to huge advance sales, his 'Help' may prove a millstone.

That part about Bill saying that Obama would be serving coffee isn't going to thrill the black voters in Massachusetts.

Asked why he was in MA and not Haiti, Clinton came up with this little gem:
But it reminds you all over again of the importance of good governance. Now, good governance would not have prevented this earthquake, but if we'd had decades of it, there would have been different buildings there, and less deforestation, and a sustainable economy. I mean, the whole thing would be different. So what I want to say to you is, I'm here today because I believe in Martha Coakley…

Well, now we know what went wrong in New Orleans, huh? Lack of decades worth of good governance.
