Could Republicans take the Mass. Senate seat in the January 19 special election?
Jan 06, 2010
Coakley has the MA Democratic advantage, money, and experience on her side.
NOTE: As of Wednesday afternoon, news reports indicate that the Kennedy family will endorse Martha Coakley for the Massachusetts Senate seat of the late Senator Ted Kennedy on Thursday.

Conservative bloggers are sensing a groundswell of support for state attorney general Martha Coakley’s Republican opponent Scott Brown, and say money is pouring into his campaign from those hoping for an upset.
A Rasmussen poll released January 5 showed Coakley ahead only 49% - 41%.
Journalist Robert Stacy McCain writes: "With the growing unpopularity of the Obama agenda, Martha is at risk of becoming that rare breed of loser -- a Democrat who gets beat in Massachusetts."
Are the conservative bloggers, including McCain (not the Senator), spotting a trend?
Very unlikely. If you are offered a bet against Brown, take it.

Council for a Livable World Endorses Alan Khazei for Senate in Massachusetts
Oct 29, 2009
Council for a Livable World is proud to announce our endorsement of Democrat Alan Khazei for U.S. Senate in the Massachusetts special election to replace the late Senator Edward Kennedy.
This special primary election will be held on December 8 with the general election held on January 19.
The Council endorsed Khazei among a group of good candidates because of his intense activisim in the growing international movement for a world without nuclear weapons.
Khazei was a founding signatory of Global Zero, an organization advocating eliminating nuclear weapons. He participated in their inaugural conference in December 2008 in Paris, France. We are persuaded that he is the candidate most likely to be a leader on nuclear weapons issues in the U.S. Senate.
In addition, Khazei offers unique knowledge and insight into the volatile issue of Iran’s nuclear aspirations. His father was born in Iran, so the candidate has deep knowledge and understanding of Iran’s history, culture and U.S.-Iranian relations.
