"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Massachusetts Democrats for Brown?

Believe me, I saw and heard this myself: One elected Democratic official — although required by the state party to support Coakley publicly — privately admitted over the weekend that he will vote Tuesday for Brown, as will his wife. Coakley was “mailing it in” on the senatorial campaign trail, the official said, relating how in […]

Massachusetts Senate: When the Going Gets Weird, the Weird Vote Brown

FITCHBURG, Mass. — Red Mass Group, Gateway Pundit and Legal Insurrection now pick up on the SEIU “Purple for Brown” phenomenon I spotted last night in Worcester. Weasel Zippers has MSNBC’s Ed Schultz boasting he’d cheat to elect Martha Coakley. Meanwhile, I’m updating for The American Spectator: Seeing the Senate campaign from ground level is […]

Are Democrats Planning to Steal the Massacusetts Election for Coakley?

Only if they have to, but at last night’s Coakley rally, Da Tech Guy overheard some union official assure a Democrat, “Don’t worry, the cavalry’s coming.”  Was that perhaps a reference to the SEIU “Purple Army” that Michelle Malkin is warning about? Scott Brown has consistently said he hopes for a fair election. “I have faith […]

Some Things You Really
Have to See to Believe

Yes, believe it or not, an SEIU member supporting Scott Brown — read her story at The American Spectator. Here’s another photo of the Brown supporters who turned up outside the Martha Coakley event at Worcester Polytechnic Institute tonight: Will update shortly with videos from tonight’s speech by Bill Clinton, but I just had to […]

‘Our Small Is Their Large’

Da Tech Guy absolutely insisted that I must visit Mighty Subs in Needham, Mass., home of the giantic 20-inch sub famous for the motto, “Our Small Is Their Large.” And so I did. Big hands, big feet, big nose, big sandwich . . . Da Tech Guy orders his “chicken parm” at Mighty Subs. Well, as we […]

VIDEO: New Scott Brown Ad Hits Martha Coakley for Ties to Lobbyists

(Hat-tip: Michael Graham.) UPDATE: You want to see how demoralized Democrats are about the distinctly unlikeable Martha Coakley’s horribly bad campaign? Check out the desperate arguments made by a liberal Massachusetts  blogger. (Hat-tip: Memeorandum.) I’m currently on deadline for The American Spectator and don’t have time to do a lot of aggregation right now — much […]

Scott Brown Meets the Press

FITCHBURG, Mass. “This is a big tent campaign,” Republican Scott Brown told reporters today at Boston’s Omni Parker House hotel. “I’m not into labels.” Brown responded to questions about a Boston Globe story that distorted the Senate candidate’s remarks about the Tea Party movement. Asked about the Globe’s assertion that he had claimed to be “unfamiliar” […]

Just Bought My Ticket to Boston

An eight-hour train ride on two hours sleep? Yeah, I can do that, for a “far-right teabagger”: Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy’s term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican. . . . The special election is coming up on Tuesday, and it’s going to be close. Read Vicki’s […]
