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.
