Why would anyone who votes for President Obama vote for Scott Brown?

2. This is great news as Suffolk tends to be right when it comes to MA.

This said, this is still a tight race, particularly given that Brown's favorability ratings stay high.

I have previously seen it. It shows that, at least in this sample, a significant percent of people who have a favorable opinion of Brown are willing to vote against him. It is amazing that an incumbent with favorables in the 60s is losing. It does show a serious electorate that is concerned with the issues - not the personality.

Agree that the election is certainly tight and she needs to have at least decent debates.

4. At some point

when Obama is comfortably ahead, he should make an appeal to people to give him a congress he can govern with regardless of whether people like their own repuke congressman/senator -- and it needs to be framed in terms of what is good for the country. It is better to not have a gridlock when we are tackling monumental problems.

5. Not disagreeing here but

there are some "democrats" in congress that I would be more than happy to see removed with someone that is more progressive.

6. You can't do that in a general election

Time to remove democrats is during the primaries.

Removing a democrat in a general election only brings on a batshit crazy teabagger.
