Obama wins New Hampshire primary in a landslide!That was the prediction of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and most other pollsters prior to the primary. In fact, Hillary Clinton won the primary, causing much hand wringing. This shows us that we need to...

This should motivate you. This sort of attitude has motivated me for years. From an erudite "reality-based" pundit at Blue Mass:Let's just be obvious about this: Scott Brown has absolutely no business being in the same area code as Martha Coakley. Not to...

This is a follow up to my earlier report on my day at Scott Brown's campaign headquarters in Needham, Massachusetts, in the western suburbs of Boston.My expectations were fairly low. I figured I'd stay an hour or so, talk to some people, get a better...

I posted earlier today about negative push polling in Massachusetts against Scott Brown, including questions purporting to link Brown to "hate groups."The group making the calls possibly (and I stress possibly) was McGuire Research (see my prior post for details) which still has not returned...

In just the latest sign that the Coakley campaign is in trouble, MoveOn.Org has launched an urgent fundraising campaign on her behalf (bold in original):The Republicans are pulling out all the stops in the special election to fill Ted Kennedy's seat, because if they win,...

No surprise here. When the Massachusetts legislature passed a law, at the request of a dying Ted Kennedy, to allow the Governor to appoint an interim successor, a key justification was that the interim appointee not only would not run for office but also would...

I previously posted that Martha Coakley's campaign appeared to be overstating its financial strength by hyping its primary fundraising numbers, almost all of which was spent during the primary. Coakley has not released her post-primary fundraising numbers.Coakley has been surprisingly quiet for someone who supposedly...

In my prior post, "What's Martha Afraid Of?", I predicted that Martha Coakley's duck and hide campaign strategy would begin to backfire, and would become the equivalent of the Ben & Jerry's "What's the doughboy afraid of?" campaign.Sure enough, Boston Globe columnist Brian McGrory has...
