Reply #50: An observation, albeit this should be common knowledge...

I watch politics pretty closely...and being out here in Nebraska, I have my own problems w/a D senator. What I see tough, is a lot of people from all over the country, trying to tell MA voters how to vote. I find this interesting, and don't really have anything against it, but how could I, being in NE effect the election in MA?

Same thing goes for those posting "against" a D on this site...if you're in WY, NM, NE, CA, or anywhere but MA...why would you try to influence an election against a D in MA?

What I do know, is that if Coakley loses, we lose a seat in the Senate to an R. I worked very hard to get Ben Nelson re-elected, I'm certainly not overjoyed w/him, but the alternative was far worse. The same thing goes in MA.

My thanks goes out to all those in MA that have hit the phones, streets, knocked on doors and have been in the ranks to keep the seat D. I am hoping that your efforts have been effective and since I can't vote in your election, I am hoping that you get D's out in force and crush Brown. I realize that no one can replace Ted...but I don't want to see some chiselbutted R in his seat...that would be a tragedy beyond comprehension.

Good Luck out there...and keep up the good work, the stakes are enormous!
