| 6. I think someone's messing with the pollsters |

I can understand a Democrat being so fed up they stay home but I find it hard to believe someone who truly thinks of themself as a Democrat would vote for Brown.

Because Brown's campaign was very good and Coakley's was awful |

If we win, well that's The Way It Should Be. When they win, it's cheating. It's always been thus. |

You sure they're saying 20% of Dems? I'd read about 20% who voted for Obama - independents |
