Even the Far Left at the Daily Kos are fessing up to a new 9.5 lead of Brown over Coakley?
Well, if you want proof that reality is turning on its head again (like 2000-2004), check out this poll from Merriman River Group.
* DeanObama’s diary :: ::

Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 50.8% – 41.2% in the contest to fill the seat of the late Senator Ted Kennedy. Brown supporters focused most on pocketbook issues, Coakley supporters on healthcare reform, undecided voters split.
What the heck!?! They trust the GOP on pocket-book issues more than us?
The article goes on to state that (a) undecided voters tend to have a very positive view of the president, (b) undecided voters are split between thinking that jobs is the most important issue or that health care is the most important issue, (c) the Kennedy family endorsement has backfired, and (d) the poll was conducted over one day.
It also appears that Mr. Cook thinks that Sen. Brown now has the edge in this race. I fear the GOP filibuster is returning to the US Senate.

Never thought I would see that 0-o-0
yes because Coakley and 0bama are going to lose
SORRY DEAR . THERE ARE WAYS AROUND THAT FILIBUSTER…YOU WILL SOON SEE LOL
All the ladies are swooning over Browns naked centerfold stint
I guess the girls must really like Brown
You’re really desperate to be scraping up "polls" from Merriman River Group to support your delusions! ROFL!
Be hopeful but don’t be surprised. My state is known for dirty politics and rival Chicago with criminals taking part. Boston once re-elected a mayor after he got out of jail.
Brown will not be seated until after the vote. His election value is in convincing the Blue Dogs of the peril they are in.
The Daily Kos is now exaggerating the size of the loss so they can spin the loss as a win because the loss was not as large as expected.
The more reliable number is that Martha Coakley is down by 4 points, not 9.5.
Another Republican scam.
Poll was paid for by RNC AND NOT DONE BY DAILYKOS.
Merriman River Group was founded in 1998 to provide election management services for private organizations and political consulting services for public candidates and campaigns.
THIS GROUP DID THE POLL AND THEY WERE WELL PAID BY THE RNC.
This is a good indicator of the 2010 trend. The Republicans will gain seats in the House and Senate, but will not reclaim majority. Obama has most of his major pieces of legislation done already, so the next three years will be just wrangling.
However, people are looking for Competent government, so if the GOP is not able to affect any positive change with their new strength (which is likely) than the "independents" will swing back towards the left in 2012 and 2014.
