Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, January 15, 2010

Here in Massachusetts, as well as in Washington, a growing sense of gloom is setting in among Democrats about the fortunes of Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley. "I have heard that in the last two days the bottom has fallen out of her poll numbers," says one well-connected Democratic strategist

It truely would be ironic if the state that already has a health care system most closely resembling the one proposed by the Dems ends up electing a Senator to kill it for the rest of us.
From what I've heard Coakley has been a terrible candidate running as if she were guaranteed the win.
I hear Obama is heading up there to help campaign, I hope he can motivate enough Dems to get out and vote.

Rah, Rah, sis boom ba!

He did such a great job helping Corzine in NJ, didn't he? And his influenced really wowed that Olympic Committe. LOL.

If I was Coakley, I would ask Barack to stay put in DC.

This is very pleasing. A sign of things to come? I think so.

I hear Obama is heading up there to help campaign, I hope he can motivate enough Dems to get out and vote.

I heard just the opposite, that he was steering clear of Mass.

Yeah, don't think he wants to get near Cockly... she's pretty toxic and they should be able to squeeze this in before the winner is confirmed early in Feb.

It is ironic that a deep blue state with Romneycare may elect the vote that killed Obamacare (essentially the same insurance co. giveaway).

Isn't it ironic, doncha think, a little too moronic... yeah I really do think....

*this=vote on HC

Wow.

With each passing moment Brown's victory is looking more and more possible, even immenent.

This is truly unbelievable and if he does win, it may (we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief if it does) very well kill this nightmare knows as Democratic health care reform.

Yep. We wouldn't want all those millions of people to have insurance, now would we?

But Obama is going to campaign for her in MA this weekend, so hold the celebration of more death and disease for now.

"We wouldn't want all those millions of people to be forced to have insurance, now would we?"

FTFY

But Obama is going to campaign for her in MA this weekend

I heard quite the opposite, actually.

so hold the celebration of more death and disease for now.

Brown ran on a platform largely of opposition to Obamacare and the tightness of this race seems to be a referendum on Obamacare. Obama campaigning for her could potentially harm her chances.

so hold the celebration of more death and disease for now.

you misguided dimwit.

I think whoever wins will get so much from the insurance and big pharma lobby (like the dems do) that they will keep the 60th vote in tact.

just my prediction.

Barney Frank opined that if Brown wins it'll kill the bill.

The Dems would have to pull out the nuclear option, and even if the 7 Dems of the gang of 14 step forward, it won't be enough to stop the nuke.

At this point they are so desperate to get this attrocity passed, I would not be surprised to see them invoke the nuclear option.

Barney Frank opined that if Brown wins it'll kill the bill.

he wants someone to blame (other than himself and other dems) if this thing doesn't pass.

I don't think he knows for sure.

In any case, he isn't in charge nor did he write the bill.

insurance and big pharma is who is running the show and writing the bill.

why would they spend all this money just to let one damn vote screw it up? they knew this was a possibility and they won't let it go now.

they will make it EXTREMELY difficult for someone to not vote for the bill.

You heard wrong.

- a referendum on Obamacare

All politics is local.

MA will occasionally fall for an empty suit/good hair guy like Romney or Brown, but it has little to do with national politics.

IF he wins, I won't tell a Polish joke for a year.

A guy goes into a store and tells the clerk, "I'd like some Polish sausage."

The clerk looks at him and says, "Are you Polish?"

The guy, clearly offended, says, "Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something." If I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was Italian?

Or if I had asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?

Or if I had asked for a taco would you ask if I was Mexican?

Would ya, huh? Would ya?"

The clerk says, "Well, no."

With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, "Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Polish just because I ask for Polish sausage?"

The clerk replies, "Because this is Home Depot."

Nite, cha'll

2 of last three polls had her up by 15. Somebody is dreaming in technicolor.

Must've been the chairman's robo calls? Just the sound of his voice causes welfare mom's to orgasm and then have babies....

It truely would be ironic if the state that already has a health care system most closely resembling the one proposed by the Dems ends up electing a Senator to kill it for the rest of us.

Hmmmmmmm .......... let's see what the good people of Massachusetts have to say about the plan that Danni wants "for the rest of us"

-----

"Support for the state's universal health-care law, close to 70% in 2008, is also in free fall; only 32% of state residents told Rasmussen earlier this month that they'd call it a success, with 36% labeling it a failure. The rest were unsure. Massachusetts families pay the country's highest health insurance premiums, with costs soaring at a rate 7% ahead of the national average, according to a recent report by the nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund."
