Are We Really Worried About Massachusetts? Updated at 3:10 PM
It is nearing absurdity to think that Massachusetts is on the verge of handing Ted Kennedy's seat to the republicans. It is almost insulting to me, in North Carolina that I am being told to make calls for Democratic support in Massachusetts! This is a media circus. It is a manufactured horse race. With this happening in an electoral vacuum, the full force of the national media is able to focus on and affect the story.
The repukes are pushing the story for it to appear close. They know they can't win it. They aren't going to try to steal it. They are creating this story as their frame. For the next weeks (probably longer) we will hear from the RW-spewers that "The goppers made it close in a place it shouldn't have been close, proof Obama is a failure!". Whether it will actually be close is yet to be seen. But, that is really all the repukes are looking for to claim victory. And, like most of their 'victories', the are devoid of any real gains.
But, hey. The national media wants to make the election a referendum on Democrats and Obama? Fine, we can play that game. When Coakley is declared winner early in the evening, we will know that the American People are still standing with the Democratic Party.
The last Senate race in Massachusetts (granted with an incumbent) (2008):

I bookmarked this one yesterday. I had a feeling it would be fun today.
So righteous....so smug....so defeated.....so WRONG!

I would like to ask the dummy how it feels to be wrong, but I figured they know no other feeling.

Competition for Top DUmmy of 2010 is fierce. They're beating each other up to be first in line. :-)

I vote to sticky this.

Someone with an account there needs to check his posting and see if he's said anything yet.

It doesn't look like the incumbent will have a strong showing.

Has anyone ever started up a user account "farm" there - y'know, someone who patiently starts up a harem of, say, 10 to 15 accounts, and carefully nurtures them and grows them, making slow, patient, careful posts, until they get to the point where they can become useful, at which point they might be worth some money?

I have no doubt that Pam will soon regain her lunatic form. Remember, she doesn't advertise it, but she's on chemo.

Ya know, I've had a thought about an account we could all use. Kinda like a community trust. As long as everyone agreed to mind there P's & Q's, we could actually become quite prominent.
Watcha think?

#11 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009; PEDRO PICASSO

8. You are right about one thing...
You are not in Massachusetts. The GOTV effort going on now is almost unprecedented. The activists and campaign workers are out in force in a huge way. No one is sitting on their hands. All the whining and hand-wringing is coming from people far away (like Virginia) who think they have some sort of inside track. The people on the ground in MA are working hard, despite your concern to the contrary, and Coakley will ultimately prevail. Remember, MSNBC, NBC and the other mega-corporate media outlets have a stake in making this a referendum on Obama, which it is not. Don't let their self-serving bullshit fool you.
Pedro Picasso strikes out again. Too bad for Pedro.

They are all struck out years and years ago

Ha! Like how the only two news outlets he can name are MSNBC and NBC, which are kind of like two of the same thing, at least as far as the news department goes.

What I found hilarious about it was that those primitives "from Virginia" (and other places), who weren't on the ground in Massachusetts, were right, while Pedro Picasso, who was right next door, was wrong.

Building on what AR said, I wonder . . . if ol' Pedro is really a deep mole on the order of Andy Card or John Sununu or someone like that . . . ?
Or, and the most likely explanation (using Occam's Razor), is that Pedro suffers from a terminal case of sympathetic cranial rectalitis.
