The Dems SHOULD'VE won this in their sleep, but they didn't count on 2 things...

1) The Dems (nationwide) have unexpectedly enegized their opponents more then themselves...

2) The Dems nominated a complete moron (First Kerry, now Coakley...What is it with Massechusetts Dems???? )...

If you'll notice, most of the stuff you see both here on the forums and the outside is NOT what a great guy Brown is...

...But what a dipstick Martha Coakley is...

if you go further down the article you'll see something VERY interesting...

So out of the $5 million in last minute ads, about 50% come directly from The DNCC (as compared to the NRCC's 0%) and from unions that are using workers' paid dues ()...

They should not be worried, but demographics changes and the economy, Obama's bad press over health care work together to make this a race.
If the GOP had the same situation they would send in the big money (situation as in holding on to a slim majority with a party President).
As for union money, I am sure union members are aware they back Democrats.

IT'S NOT ABOUT HOLDING ONTO TO A SLIM MAJORITY, IT'S MAINTAINING TOTAL CONTROL INSTEAD OF ACTAULLY WORKING WITH THE REPS.

When did a 60% majority become a "slim majority"?? When did it become OK to bribe people for being union members?? That's what happening right now, the union members are being bribed with being excluded from paying the same taxes the rest of us will have to pay in order to get thier support. Are you OK with that, salty??? Are you OK with there being two classes of citizens in America - those who have pay for healthcare and those who don't???

Our nation has not always lived up to its ideals, yet those ideals have never ceased to guide us. They expose our flaws, and lead us to mend them. We are the beneficiaries of the work of the generations before us and it is each generation's responsibility to continue that work. - Laura Bush

Giving a liberal facts is like throwing bacon at a vegetarian. All it does it piss off the vegetarian and waste good bacon.

The fact the dems don't have this one a lock, should tell them they are not doing right by this nation.

If you could show me that if we didn't have the majority on the left that the right would really work on legislation in a bipartisan basis I would vote republican. Seriously. The left will lose their majority but I am not optimistic it will push them to work together. I don't really think thats possible at all anymore. We are too partisan as a nation for any politicians to risk reaching out.
I'm not saying this is the rights fault. I think its both parties at fault. And probably all our faults for not demanding more from our own leadership.
