    Scott Brown Explains Citizenship Revocation and Strongly Defends Arizona… (Note to All Upstart Conservative Candidates, This is How Its Done)

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  May 8th at 12:52 AM  | 

    Here’s a tip for all aspiring conservative upstarts in 2010; use talk radio. Sounds simple right? But not really. I know of no other politician, whether during their campaign or during their term, to use talk radio to reach the people like Scott Brown. Brown is ubiquitous on Boston talk radio, morning, noon and night. He leaves the campaign mode and the politico speak behind | Read More »

    MA-SEN: A Tuesday Election Primer (Updated)

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 17th at 09:56 PM  | 

    I have been looking at the numbers of some past elections. Some of the broad themes are becoming common knowledge, but I broke down some numbers and offer some observations for those who may not be familiar with the state. FIVE ON THE MONEY: Regardless of size or demographics, these six cities and towns often vote the same as the state at large. As they | Read More »

    Great Moments in Massachusetts Senatorial Sports Flubs

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 15th at 11:35 PM  | 

    Perhaps Martha Coakley is the right person to represent Massachusetts in the United States Senate. She just fits the traditional mold of a Senator from Massachusetts perfectly. Amongst other things, she knows how to make a first rate fool of herself, when talking sports. Here are four of the greatest sports flubs in Massachusetts senatorial history: 4. In the midst of the 2004 presidential election, | Read More »

    Scott Brown’s Momentum

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 14th at 08:35 AM  | 

    There is a reason Martha Coakley went negative. Coakley can win if she rallys her base. There are enough Democrats in Massachusetts for Coakley to win without Republican or Independent support. Still its a bad sign for any candidate, when they are trying to rally their base during the last week of the campaign. By contrast, Brown’s base is fired up. He also has Independents | Read More »

    Scott Brown Scores a Terrific Non-Endorsement from the Boston “Glob”

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 13th at 06:32 PM  | 

    The inevitable happened; the Boston Globe finally endorsed Martha Coakley. I expected nothing less and, frankly, may have been a little freaked out if the Boston “Glob” endorsed Scott Brown. But, perhaps, unintentionally, the “Glob” scores some major points for Brown: People in Massachusetts are understandably frustrated. Next week’s special election comes in the midst of a too-long Senate debate on health care, showcasing much | Read More »

    A Tale of Two Candidates: Coakley the Elitist vs. Brown the Populist

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 13th at 03:49 PM  | 

    The joke in Massachusetts is that Martha Coakley is afraid to shake hands with ordinary people. Today, the Boston Globe is reporting that Coakley does not have the time to meet with voters. Instead, she is rallying party bosses to do her dirty work. Coakley has become defensive about the elitist label being stuck to her. When asked about her avoidance of average voters, the | Read More »

    Scott Brown Responds to Martha Coakley’s Negative ‘Nazi’ Ad

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 12th at 10:30 AM  | 

    Martha Coakley unloaded a nasty ad last night full of dark, harsh tones, lies and subliminal images, including one distorted image of Rush Limbaugh with his hand up a ‘heil’ manner. Brown fires back with a positive ad challenging Coakley’s camp. The difference between the two ads and the two candidates couldn’t be more stark. But will it work? Brown could have ignored it.

    RED INVADES BLUE: Scott Brown Money Bomb Happens All Day Monday

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 10th at 11:10 PM  | 

    01.11.10 has arrived. The Scott Brown money bomb is on. For a month, the Brown campaign has promoted this money bomb and people have pledged support. Now, the time to honor those pledges has arrived. I know that many people had reservations. Too often, donating money to candidates in Massachusetts is like flushing money down the toilet. Not this time. For a month, we all | Read More »

    Some Comments on the Scott Brown Hannity Interview

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  January 8th at 11:59 PM  | 

    If this race were based on effort, Scott Brown would trounce Martha Coakley. Brown is working himself ragged. He has a cold. He is losing his voice. And it still seems like he is doing more events in one day than Coakley is doing in a week. You’ll notice it in the clip below, but he still has his charm and wits about him. We | Read More »

    Martha Coakley; Just Kicking Back and Enjoying Her Vacation

    By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary)  |  December 31st at 07:31 PM  | 

    Do you want an example of supreme haughtiness and overconfidence? With less than three weeks to go before the general election, Martha Coakley isn’t even campaigning. In fact, she’s on an official vacation from her unofficial vacation of sort-of-campaigning for Senate from her office. The Boston Herald has noticed: Although her break coincides with the holiday season and subdued voter interest, laying low in the | Read More »
