    Thank you for your service in Vietnam Mr. May and thank you for your service to Scott Brown.

    BTW, just saw Chris Matthews on Morning Joe. He said Scott Brown is ahead by double points and should win and that Coakley is an idiot.

    Martha Coakley can’t find any Kennedy coat tails.

    Obama’s speech for Coakley. Scott Brown is for The Fat Cats.

    This is a memorable FBN, Imus In The Morning commentator Dagen McDowell Quote, about what the present Government is seeking to do to US.

    You don’t want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam, he is going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there…………

    DAN SCHNUR:

    There’s no way that Martha Coakley can lose: Kennedy family members will personally carry Massachusetts voters to the polls to keep that from happening. More likely is that she wins by a relatively small margin of victory that will be written off as a status-quo outcome by a political community whose expectations for a huge upset were raised beyond all rational levels this past week.

    But if Scott Brown actually does pull off an astonishing victory, first, the sun will swallow the moon, angels will weep and the Charles River will run red with blood.

    Obama said he wanted to unite the nation. Looks like he’s doing a pretty good job of uniting us against his health care plan!
    He sure motivated that Mississippi vet!
