Ha ha… whoops.

So far the only good polling news we have seen for Coakley today is a 48-48 tie, according to a, um… Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll. Not that those veer as heavily Democratic as the PAJAMAS MEDIA polls do Republican. Good lord! Yesterday they had Brown ahead by 15, but today they only have him ahead by 10. Only Jeebus knows how Pajamas Media polls could possibly transfer to reality, but he won’t tell us.

Whatever, hopefully (Democratic Machine) x (ACORN) x (Diebold) will pull off a victory for whatsername. Hillary Clinton? Let’s go with “Hillary Clinton.”

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait

There are Republicans in Massachusetts?

No Scott posed nude for a magazine driving all the geh wild. Now if Martha would pose nude she could get the teabagger vote, frustrated because Sarah hasn’t showed them her tits.

RoscoePColtraine January 18, 2010 at 2:07 pm

If only this Martha person had known where Curt Schilling played with his balls, we might have saved health care.

Monsieur Grumpe January 18, 2010 at 2:14 pm

Is Massachusetts going to be the new Connecticut?
Exciting No?

I assumed that the falling blue line would be the number of hetero marriage and the rising red line would be GAY SOCIALIST MARRIAGES. And I was all happy, for a moment.

Scott “stick a curling iron up her butt” Brown is a vile and despicable human being. This has been under-reported.

Iowa Rep. Steve King (R-River City) will be in Mass. with his Brown Shirts to round up the coloreds on election day:

Devout Catholics “probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room”?

Just not thinking creatively enough. Other places devout Catholics probably shouldn’t work;

Singapore massage parlors
places that sell birth control
Wall Street boiler rooms
Wall Street anywhere
Vegas, baby
Jewish temples
LDS temples
NIH-sponsored stem cell research programs
health-care facilities of all kinds, actually
anywhere there are Lizard People or tElePromPTorZzzz
DC homeless shelters and adoption programs (because of the gheys)
C street
R street

To be fair, looking back at the transcript, that’s not exactly what she said. Her opponents have been shrewd to misconstrue and widely propagate this talking point. She should have better qualified what she was saying.

JMP January 18, 2010 at 2:31 pm

There’s an important lesson here for Democrats, though; in an off-season, open seat, low turnout election, don’t just sit on your asses and assume your candidate is going to win without even trying. That should go without saying, but alas the Democratic party is very good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It is reassuring to know that Americans will still halfheartedly vote for whatever name seems “most popular”.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 18, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Clearly, this all started with the beginning of 2010, so it must have something to do with the Mayan calendar.

[re=496313]Potater[/re]: Yes, his name is Mitt Romney.

germansteel January 18, 2010 at 2:42 pm

If she doesn’t win this election, there’s a bridge out to Chappaquiddick I’d like to show her, in the middle of the night.

JamesMichaelCurley January 18, 2010 at 2:47 pm

As a long time and long dead former Democratic Mayor of Boston, who: I must proudly boast, was reelcted while serving a term in jail, all I can say is unprintable even in Wonkette.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 18, 2010 at 2:48 pm

I keep wondering, has anyone asked Megs McCain her opinion on this.

Oldskool January 18, 2010 at 2:55 pm

Amerka, I don’t even know you anymore.

Tourettesorist January 18, 2010 at 2:55 pm

If Kathleen Harris lived in MA and was running against Martha Coakley, you would all be singing a different tune. Also.

RoscoePColtraine January 18, 2010 at 3:01 pm

[re=496361]Tourettesorist[/re]: If you’re referring to Katherine Harris, that bitch couldn’t even win in fucking Florida. And you’re a moran.

President Beeblebrox January 18, 2010 at 3:04 pm

[re=496361]Tourettesorist[/re]: Wow, yr. conservative attempts at snark just keep failing harder and harder.

rocktonsammy January 18, 2010 at 3:04 pm

There doesn’t seem to be any republican leaders out there stumping for this jerk.

He has a truck and everything.

SayItWithWookies January 18, 2010 at 3:05 pm

Wow — the people conducting those polls have bright futures as economists or meteorologists. Or maybe they don’t — I’m not sure, as my opinion seems to be fluctuating wildly at short intervals.

El Pinche January 18, 2010 at 3:08 pm

Coakley will win. Trust me.
If she doesn’t I will change my wonktard name to Snuggies.

Kinkster January 18, 2010 at 3:08 pm

[re=496318]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: oh come on, if you’d been following connecticut politics at ALL you’d know it’s still more insane. We did just drop a whole bunch of people out of some races so there’s only like, fifteen democrats going after 3 statewide positions.

Jim89048 January 18, 2010 at 3:10 pm

[re=496367]President Beeblebrox[/re]: Oh, c’mon–he/she said also, also.

[re=496361]Tourettesorist[/re]: One or two kind souls here might be talked into using new handles to help with your horrible efforts at trolling.

yellowdogdem January 18, 2010 at 3:29 pm

[re=496313]Potater[/re]: Sadly yes. A lot of them on what’s known as the South Shore (home to many Rednecks)where they drive around in pick-ups trucks and get into fist fights. And that’s just the women. When the close polling numbers were released, the Dems (myself included) panicked and started calling their friends to remind them to vote for Coakley. I personally received calls from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Martha Coakley. Unfortunately, they were one-way conversations. Whenever I tried to interrupt (“Yo, Barack! Great to hear from you!”) they just ignored me and plowed ahead with their message. After that I got a bunch of calls from actual Democrats in the Coakley campaign. I told them, Don’t bother to call me; I’ve already promised Barack that I’ll vote for Coakley. But seriously, I’m heading for Canada if Brown gets in. Wait, I said that when Bush got elected.

chascates January 18, 2010 at 3:52 pm

One of my friends was a Democratic precinct captain here in Austin. After Obama’s election he said now he could now just watch football and play with his grandbabies.

Too many people feel the same way.

clientnumber8 January 18, 2010 at 3:53 pm

Scott Brown, pandering Republican fuckwit douchebag vs. Martha Coakley, who falsely accused people of raping children, won convictions, and then persisted in her attempts to keep them imprisoned even after it came to light that they were wrongly convicted…

If you can’t pick a Senator who’s not a douchewit fuckbag, you don’t get a Senator at all, I say.

Suds McKenzie January 18, 2010 at 4:08 pm

[re=496352]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: I’m sure Megs is too busy today. MLK jr Day is a huge deal around the McCain household.

Mr Blifil January 18, 2010 at 4:10 pm

[re=496370]El Pinche[/re]: Now I wish I were registered in Mass…

AnnieGetYourFun January 18, 2010 at 4:38 pm

[re=496366]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: But, truth be told, we WOULD be singing a different (and funnier) tune. What rhymes with “opposum”?

Maggie' January 18, 2010 at 4:43 pm

Whew,

Up here in Soviet Canuckistan, we were starting to get all worried that what with the election of President HopeyChangey and all, we’d lose our smug bragging rights on having our shit together (healthcare-for-everyone-wise, at least).

Glad to see that risk has passed.

But seriously, a Republican winning Ted Kennedy’s seat in Taxachusetts? What the hell is going on down there?

norbizness January 18, 2010 at 5:51 pm

I think Jack Pardee from the 1992 Houston Oilers is running her campaign.

windupbird January 18, 2010 at 9:00 pm

Well, we’ve received oh about 10 robocalls this weekend. People are either ambivalent about Coakley here or despise her (google Coakley Amirault). Brown is universally (well, in my circle anyway) regarded as an idiot himbo. There is a third candidate (Kennedy, independent) that “no one has ever heard of”. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets some votes from the Centrum Silver set who don’t know that Ted’s dead.

We might see alot of “Lizard People” write-ins on this one.

windupbird January 18, 2010 at 9:02 pm

[re=496418]clientnumber8[/re]: Yep, that’s it in a nutshell.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 18, 2010 at 9:52 pm

[re=496431]Suds McKenzie[/re]: Yes, there is nothing like MLK day at the McCain compound. Especially when John gathers all of his children around and explains that the Feds can do whatever they want, but they can’t force him to celebrate a black guy in his heart.

factnorfiction January 19, 2010 at 12:19 am

Haha, the polling results are so…phallic.
