Sources: Obama advisers believe Coakley will lose
Posted: January 17th, 2010 04:22 PM ET
From CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry
Washington (CNN) - 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."

the Obama Agenda - as they'll want to avoid getting caught like
Coakley was as being the "face" of a hated president and his agenda.
Expect DROVES of congresscritters who previously voted for Obamacare
to suddenly vote against it if Coakley loses.

There is NO WAY Coakley can lose! I'd bet there are 5 levels of plans the
Democrats have to prevent that. As for what they are, just consider
everything they have done in the past when they really don't want to lose.

As much as I would like to see Brown win I don't see it happening. It
might be close
but the voters of Massachusetts have been brainwashed by the Liberal
Democratic
propaganda machine for too many years to do a turn around now.
However if it is
close ( 55%/45%), in favor of Coakley, it is going to send a message
to ALL liberal
Democrats to watch out in the 2010 election. I think what we are
seeing right now
is the news media trying to HYPE this election just to attract
viewers. I hope I am
proven wrong and Brown wins.

Brown could win by as much as 8 points and the message isn't so much that
the Dems should watch out in 2010, it's that incumbents are going to have a
very tough roe to hoe.
Coakley should be winning easily but ran such a crappy campaign that Brown
will pull off and "upset".
That's my guess anyway, and Mass. will have it's 15 minutes in the
limelight.

Obama's visit will probably do damage. Can he make another visit
Tuesday?

partly to Republican Governor Romney, though the final version was not
what he wanted:

The Brown-Coakley election has nothing to do with incumbent vs. challenger.

That is a state issue to be fought within Mass.

Marcia can't lose with Kennedy backing her!
John R. Carroll
Sure it does.
Any Democrat would be wrapped in the incumbent flag.
Coakley is the candidate from "Kennedy" just as McCain/Palin bore the Bush
legacy.
Should Democrat's turn out in force, Coakley will prevail. That is why the
high profilers, including Obama, have been visiting.
They aren't trying to change anyones vote, just get out what they know they
have already. Brown has the energy.

Mass has a history of occasionally turning sharply against inept
liberals (Dukakis) to elect Republican strongmen, just as California
has done.
Examples are governors King, Weld and Romney.

They have but this is a simple case of people voting their pocket books
against a continuation in office of one party or another.
Republicans have been fired up and will go to the polls. They win when that
happens and the opposition doesn't turn out their voters.
The weather will also be a factor.

"Historical inevitability" appears to be *THE* controlling
factor.
Just what lasting changes did King, Weld and Romney accomplish?
Taxachusetts is still the same overgoverned, corrupt and bankrupt
state it always has been. California is a case in point. GAS
was indeed elected "Governator", but the budget debacles and
political dry rot continue, with no apparent change, other than
possibly in style, e.g. cigar smoking.

I've only met Romney, who was quite bitter at the obstruction he faced
from the legislature. I'm not going to print his private remarks.

No. Maybe Will Smith, but Tommy is a good buddy of Al Gore. Was a College
