Scott needs to drive a wedge between Coakley and the women voters.He needs to increase his name recognition state wide with one issue.

I think Brown needs to drive a wedge between.......... (0.00 / 0)

Coakley supporters and the voters that supported Khazei and Pagliuca.  Those people voted for change.  Capuano and Coakley voters voted for status quo.  


If you disagree with me you are a racist homophobe.

Nice job with the numbers (0.00 / 0)

I was going to look them up and now I don't have to.

In 2002 we had the LG primary with Healey and Rappaport so that drove turnout.  In 2006 the focus was on teh Dem Primary.  Because unenrolled can vote in either, the focus was there.

For a special 162,706 is a very good number for a special, especially with most of the focus on the other side.  The Scott Brown campaign was using the primary to do a dry fun for the general with their GOTV efforts.  There were a lot of people making calls yesterday.

Torn... (0.00 / 0)

Can't figure out if its a good turnout or not. I'm inclined to say it wasn't. I must say anecdotally though that Brown is making a lot of progress as I'm seeing signs, bumper stickers, and getting positive feedback from people outside the political junkie bubble and Republican circles (friends and family outside the process).

2006 was such a lousy year, with lousy candidates, that NOBODY voted in the primary... including myself I think!

I'd have to see what the Dem turnout was in 2002 when they also had a contested primary to figure out if this was a relatively good turnout. Try to look this up later if I can.

My Two Cents .. (0.00 / 0)

Brown basicaly was running against himself. The jackpot vote pool is always the unenrolled and if you were one of them why would you have grabbed a GOP card yesterday when you could just as easily cast a vote into that dem wolf pack?
The only surprise I got yesterday was how easily Martha cruised to the victory lap. Tells me people over there are entirly disengaged IMO. The toughest part here is its 4 weeks with a couple of holidays in the middle. Time to get those signs out there is now.
