HomeWhy Scott Brown Will Win Today
Posted by Larry Doyle on January 19th, 2010 9:02 AM |
Of all the seats in all the states, who would have ever thought that the U.S. Senate seat held by Teddy Kennedy would change the course of our national debate and direction. Why will Scott Brown win today? What are the voters of Massachusetts saying?
Political pundits and the media establishment will try to pin a Democratic loss today on the piss-poor campaign run by Martha Coakley. In doing so, they will once again display that they are tone deaf and out of step with America.
Over the last year, I have seen and felt our nation get wise to the stench in Washington and on Wall Street. As such, a poorly run Coakley campaign is perhaps the least of the factors impacting the race in Massachusetts today.

Growing up in Massachusetts, there were (and still are) only a few topics that truly matter: politics, sports, politics, family, church, and politics. These topics are industries unto themselves and they are deeply intertwined. Other topics hardly register.
Against this backdrop, the MA Senate race between Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) and State Senator Scott Brown (R) has captured the nation’s attention. To be perfectly frank, I gave this race no attention until a week ago as I believed Coakley would win easily. Why? Massachusetts has three times as many Democrats as Republicans.
