Massachusetts Senate Election Results, The Massachusetts’ special U.S. Senate election has gotten tighter, but the general dynamics remain the same.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley attracting 49% of the vote while her Republican rival, state Senator Scott Brown, picks up 47%.

Three percent (3%) say they’ll vote for independent candidate Joe Kennedy, and two percent (2%) are undecided. The independent is no relation to the late Edward M. Kennedy, whose Senate seat the candidates are battling to fill in next Tuesday’s election.

Coakley is supported by 77% of Democrats while Brown picks up the vote from 88% of Republicans. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Brown leads 71% to 23%. To be clear, this lead is among unaffiliated voters who are likely to participate in the special election.

A week ago, the overall results showed Coakley leading by a 50% to 41% margin. The closeness of the race in heavily Democratic Massachusetts has drawn increasing national interest, and Brown made it clear in the final candidate debate last night that a vote for him is a vote to stop the national health care plan Democrats are pushing in Congress.

(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it’s in the news, it’s in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

The results of this poll are not precisely comparable with last week’s results because this poll includes the independent candidate by name while the previous poll simply offered the choice of “some other candidate.” Additionally, the latest poll results include “leaners.”

Leaners are those who don’t initially have a preference for one of the major candidates but indicate that they are leaning in that direction. Without “leaners,” Brown was actually ahead by a single percentage point.

Although the top line results are now a bit tighter, the new polling is consistent with the analysis provided yesterday by Scott Rasmussen.

All recent polls place Coakley right around the 50% mark and support for opposition candidates above 40%. Turnout will be the key, and Brown’s voters appear to be more energized.

All polling indicates that a lower turnout is better for the Republican. The new Rasmussen Reports poll shows that Brown is ahead by two percentage points among those who are absolutely certain they will vote. A week ago, he trailed by two among those certain to vote.

To overcome the enthusiasm gap and help generate a larger turnout, national Democrats are getting involved in the race. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is reportedly spending more than half a million dollars in the final days of a campaign that Coakley has long been the heavy favorite to win. Senator John Kerry in an emergency fundraising letter for Coakley today says the race is “a dead heat,” and he and former President Bill Clinton plan to campaign in the state on Friday.

Brown raised over a million dollars on Monday and appears to have narrowed the financial gap so far. Coakley has gone negative in the second television ad of her campaign, one that includes Brown in front of a picture of conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh. She also sought to link Brown to former President George W. Bush during the debate.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of likely voters in Massachusetts have a favorable opinion of Brown, and 58% say the same about Coakley.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters think Coakley will win the election, while 33% expect a victory for Brown.

Coakley, who was elected attorney general in 2006, defeated several other candidates to win her party’s nomination in a December 8 primary. Brown, who has served in the State Senate since 2004, won the GOP primary the same day.

Fifty-two percent (52%) favor the health care legislation before Congress, but 46% are opposed. Nationally, most voters oppose the proposed health care plan.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters say the man who tried to blow up an airline on Christmas Day should be tried by the military as a terrorist act while 21% believe the case should be tried by civilian courts as a criminal act. Seventy-seven percent (77%) now favor the use of full-body scanners at airports.

Forty-one percent (41%) believe the $787-billion economic stimulus plan passed by Congress last year helped the economy while 23% believe it hurt. That’s a much more positive assessment than the stimulus plan receives nationally.

However, even in Massachusetts, just 38% believe that increases in government spending generally help the economy. Forty-four percent (44%) say such spending generally has a negative impact. As for taxes, 56% believe that tax hikes are bad for the economy while 23% think they help.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of Massachusetts voters think that more jobs will be created by cancelling the rest of the stimulus spending while 44% think spending the money will create more jobs.

Nationally, just over half believe that canceling the spending is the better tool for job creation.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of those likely to vote in this election still approve of the way that Barack Obama is doing his job as president. Just 40% approve of the way that Deval Patrick is handling his role as governor.

Pants on The Ground You tube, If you can’t get that crazy song out of your head since 62-yr old ‘General’ Larry Platt first sang it on American Idol mocking the contemporary street fashion of wearing your pants at half-(m)ass(t) – you are not alone!

Will there be a ‘Pants on the Ground’ single? You can bet on it. Platt says he’s considering offers to record the song. This tune may not rival the finer rap-artists of the day, but it certainly is memorable.

Coakley Vs Brown, One thing to remember is that whoever wins is only in for the remainder of Kennedy’s term, that is, ’til 2012. So if Brown wins, that’s not the catastrophe that the party line bloggers make it out to be.

And three caveats. First, if I were any good at 11 dimensional chess, I’d make my living playing it. Second, I don’t care how the press or Versailles reacts to anything. They are going to do what they do, because the electorate has no power over them. And third, I don’t live in MA, so I’m not telling anybody how to vote.

Let’s assume that I have become disillusioned — better, have come to a sense of reality about — the two legacy parties and how they work together. For example, it seems obvious that the D’s were allowed in to consolidate and rationalize Bush’s authoritarian gains — and maybe to put “entitlement reform” into place — and it seems equally obvious that the R’s will soon undergo a “surprising” resurgence to deal with any resulting unrest. To continue to vote for “the lesser evil” simply ratifies the D/R oscillation, which is killing us — and in the case of health insurance, really is killing us, at a rate of several tens of thousands of deaths a year.

Let’s further assume that there’s good reason to think that others have come to a similar sense of reality. Polling shows this:

Two in five Democratic voters either consider themselves unlikely to vote at this point in time, or have already made the firm decision to remove themselves from the 2010 electorate pool. Indeed, Democrats were three times more likely to say that they will “definitely not vote” in 2010 than are Republicans.

Now, I have no evidence on which voters comprise that “reality-based” 40%, but I would bet it’s mostly the voters that the Obama campaign and administration threw under the bus during the primary and over the last year (including many, many women).

And let’s further assume that I think that there ought to be a new party — we might call it the Justice Party — distinct from the two legacy parties.

How would these considerations affect my vote, if I lived in MA? Well, one thing I might want to do is damage the legacy parties as much as possible*, so that space for newer parties and movements would open up. (Note that I have no expectation whatever that my vote will make the slightest difference in Versailles, at least in the short term, since Versailles is not responsive to the electorate. My vote, and what the press says, and what the parties say, are all independent variables.)

1. For the reality-based 40% to which I belong, voting for “None of the Above” would send a message from us, to us, in a very public way, that shows we exist in large numbers. “None of the above,” for now, would be our “place to go,” until something like the Justice Party materialized. (It’s important to vote and leave the ballot blank at the top, and to vote for neither Coakley nor Brown, because those ballots are still counted. Voters who just stay home are not counted.)

2. Further, if making sure that the health insurance company bailout does not pass is important to you — whether because the bill makes being female a pre-existing condition, or whether you have issues with making failure to buy junk insurance a federal crime — then taking the 60th vote away from the Dems by voting for Brown throws a roadblock in its way.

3. Finally, if you really want to damage the Dems, then voting for Brown, if enough people do it, will accomplish that, now that Obama has invested his personal prestige in the race. It’s not ideal that a reasonably good Dem takes the first hit, but really, will that make so much of a difference? After caucus theft, FISA, TARP, nothing on torture, nothing on surveillance, no help on housing, the jobs disaster, the travesties that are health insurance and financial reform, and a whole new war? Damaging the Dems is the opportunity that presents itself now. We can damage a Republicans next.

LONDON: Britain Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned that the failed Detroit plane bombing showed that terrorism remains a “very real” global threat as the world enters a new year.
“The new year is starting as the last began — with a climate of fear,” he wrote in the UK national website, saying the failed bombing had “exposed an evolving terrorist threat” and highlighted “a major new base for terrorism.” He said that Yemen has been emerged as the new extremists’ stronghold and called upon the world leaders to urgently tighten security at airports and on aircrafts. “The failed attack in Detroit on Christmas Day reminds us of a deeper reality: that almost 10 years after September 11th international terrorism is still a very real threat,” he added. The Detroit attack, which has led to a major review of security procedures and the coordination of airline and other watch-lists, had thrown the spotlight onto the threat posed by militants based in Yemen, he said. Brown stressed that Britain could not rely only on a “fortress Britain strategy” — but must take the fight to where extremists are based, “in Afghanistan, Pakistan and all around the world.”

The blow-by-blow account of the brutal attack made by Chris Brown on his former girlfriend Rihanna has found its way to the public.

Brown was ordered hard community labour duties and told to maintain a physical distance from the R&B lady after pleading guilty to assaulting her.

The judge at the LA court also fined the 20-year-old 4,000 pounds and ordered him to attend a domestic violence-counselling programme, along with cautioning the singer against a jail sentence if he broke a five-year probation, reports The Daily Express.

According to the police report filed after the attack, a “screaming woman,” was described to be “very upset and crying”.

Rihanna narrated the incident to the cops, apparently telling them the then couple had a row earlier in the evening in February at a pre-Grammy awards party, and it continued while they were on their way home in Brown’’s car.

After she “became enraged and slammed both of her fists against the dashboard”, Brown pulled the car over and tried to shove her out before hitting her, it was reported.

He then purportedly drove away while continuing to beat her with his right hand as he steered with his left.

Rihanna, in between a series of brutal punches and bites, allegedly tried to contact her assistant to seek help, leaving Brown fuming even more.

Brown reportedly told her, “You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I”m really going to kill you!”
