Politics Daily: Democrat Coakley Opens Big Lead in Massachusetts Senate Race

Posted: 01/10/10

Democrat Martha Coakley is leading Republican Scott Brown by 50 percent to 35 percent in the race to fill the seat of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, according to a Boston Globe poll of likely voters conducted Jan. 2-6.

Nine percent are undecided and 5 percent are supporting an independent candidate. The results contradict two recent polls that had the race closer or tied.

The special election matching up Coakley, the state's attorney general, and Brown, a state senator, is scheduled for Jan. 19.

The Globe said that when undecided voters who are leaning one way or another are added to the mix, Coakley's lead grows to 53 percent to 36 percent. Nearly two-thirds of Brown's supporters believe the Democrat will win.

A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Jan. 4 had a single digit lead. A Public Policy Polling survey conducted Jan. 7-9 had the two candidates  statistically tied.

Some Republicans were hoping that Scott Brown would win this race which could torpedo Democratic health care reform.

League of American Voters scared of the ghost of Ted Kennedy

An Urgent Message From the League of American Voters

Ted Kennedy's Death Breathes New Life into Obama Care
What We Must Do . . .

Dear Fellow American:

This week, Ted Kennedy, the great liberal icon, has passed away.

But his dream of a socialistic health care system for all Americans is dangerously close to becoming a reality.

Though recent polls suggested Obama's radical plans of a "public option" and adding 50 million new patients to the government system were in serious trouble, Ted Kennedy's passing may have breathed new life into them.

As CNN reported this week: "Ironically, his death might bring about a change of tactics that would help reach the goal he was unable to achieve in life, one veteran political analyst says.

"'Kennedy's departure may in fact increase the chances that we get a more sweeping health care bill,' American Enterprise Institute analyst Norman Ornstein recently told CNN."

Scary!

Remember the Democrats still have big majorities in the House and the Senate.

We also remember from the Stimulus Bill that several Republicans betrayed their party to vote for the Democratic plan.

The message I have for you today is simple: we must stop Obama Care and we CANNOT let our guard down.

Just over two weeks ago the League of American Voters launched its national campaign to stop Obama Care.

In short order, our powerful ad featuring a respected medical doctor exposing the dangers of Obama Care have supporters of the Obama plan reeling.

People are waking up. You can see the ad and help us by Going Here Now

But we also are well aware that Ted Kennedy's death has evoked tremendous sympathy for his dream of a socialist health care take over.

The irony of Kennedy's death is that under Obama Care Kennedy would likely never have gotten the top-notch, expensive medical care he was afforded.

No doubt, one of the Obama oversight committees would have nixed the use of government resources for a person of Kennedy's age with a terminal disease like brain cancer.

We cannot allow for government to dictate to the type and quality of health care for us and our loved ones.

We cannot allow government to run the health care system like they do the Post Office!

We must continue this battle.

As I write this, the League has to firm up its TV ad buys for the next two weeks. We have already raised over $1.3 million. But we need to raise $5 million to kill off Obama Care.

We need your urgent help to make this happen — Go Here Now

Dick Morris says the League of American Voters is the "the number one group today fighting Obama Care, they deserve your support."

Dick is the League's chief strategist — and actually crafted our ads and national campaign.

We are having a tremendous effect.

Help us continue — Go Here Now.

Thank you for all of your help.

Sincerely,

Bob Adams
Executive Director

P.S. The New York Times reported that liberal groups backing Obama Care are outspending groups like ours 3 to 1. Yet we are still winning the war of public opinion. This means when the public finds out the truth, they are siding with us. We just need to keep doing our work and getting our ads out. Please help us make a difference — we can't afford to lose this because of Ted Kennedy — Go Here Now.

Rush upset health care legislation will be "the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill"

Is anybody surprised the Democrats will rally health care around the death of Ted Kennedy. Kennedy made national health care his life's work.  Does Limbaugh really think he is on to something?

Why did he bring this up while the nation is grieving the loss of the the 'Lion of the Senate?' This is simple partisan pettiness.

Limbaugh is also now referring to the mainstream media as the 'state run media.'

RUSH ARCHIVE: If they get national health care, folks, the country as you and I have known it is over, but the failing health of Senator Kennedy, as I told you way back when, a driving force here. The failing health of Senator Kennedy is already being used as an inspirational effort or technique to get national health care on the fast track. Before it's all over it will be called the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care bill.

The Lion of the Senate dies

Senator Ted Kennedy will be missed. It is a shame he never saw his dream of a national health care system realized.  He was the longest serving person in the US Senate. He was 77 when he passed away.
