Massachusetts Democrats for Brown?

Posted on | January 18, 2010 | 11 Comments

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 his own election, he had gone door-to-door “seven days a week” soliciting votes. After winning the Dec. 8 Democratic primary, however, Coakley seemed to shift into neutral, expecting to coast easily to victory in the general election. . . .

That’s from my latest American Spectator column, “The Scott Heard ‘Round the World.”

    […] Michelle Malkin highlights today how Obama is leaving America open to terrorist attacks — another stick of kindling for his fire in the Reichstag. At Hot Air, Allahpundit has a post on the Democrats’ favorite group to demonize in their efforts to frighten people into doing their will. Having groups to demonize in order to frighten people was a feature of the strategy employed above to obtain the passage of the Enabling Act. Today Moe Lane features a video explaining how the Democrats’ passage of the Community Reinvestment Act, and their subsequent amendments to it, created the conditions for the mortgage market meltdown that Obama exploited to get into office. Little Miss Attila notes the love of totalitarianism that is the North Star of a leading Leftie economist. Stacy McCain is at ground zero of the resistance. […]
