boston globe said:A vote for Brown is hardly a symbolic protest against congressional gridlock and the ways of Washington. It's a vote for gridlock, in the form of endless Republican filibusters, and for the status quo in health care, climate change, and financial regulation. That's what will happen if Brown gives the Republicans the additional vote they need to tie up the Senate.
Those are the real stakes in this campaign. It's easy to find a provision in any major bill that gives one pause, and to brandish it as a reason to scuttle the whole thing. Blocking bills is easy; finding a politically acceptable response to complicated problems is hard.
Voters who want to cast a critical eye on Washington without destroying the Democratic coalition should go for Coakley. Her quiet diligence in pursuing some of the most thankless, but deeply important, tasks in prosecuting child abusers, scouring the fine print of Big Dig contracts to bring back hundreds of millions of dollars, and securing $60 million from Goldman Sachs for its subprime mortgage abuses, contrasts sharply with Brown's five-year record of voting no in a state Senate run by the opposite party

Holy smokes folks - this story is proving to be THE political story since the 2008 election. WOW.
Poll shocker: Scott Brown surges ahead in Senate
Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.
Although Browns 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News surveys margin of error, the underdogs position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.
Its a Brown-out, said Paleologos, director of Suffolks Political Research Center. Its a massive change in the political landscape
...Either Browns momentum accelerates and his lead widens, or this becomes a wake-up call for Coakley to become the Comeback Kid this weekend, Paleologos said.
And with 99 percent having made up their minds, voters may be hard to persuade.
The poll surveyed a carefully partitioned electorate meant to match voter turnout: 39 percent Democrat, 15 percent Republican and 45 percent unenrolled.
Brown wins among men and is remarkably competitive among women - trailing Coakleys 50 percent with 45 percent.
While Brown has 91 percent of registered Republicans locked up, an astonishing 17 percent of Democrats report theyre jumping ship for Brown as well - likely a product of Coakleys laser-focus on hard-core Dems, potentially at the exclusion of other Democrats whom she needed to win over, Paleologos said.

A15, As you live in the area and know better for the most part than the talking heads, it's my impression that at least on the Street level Brown seems to have connected with the people and from what I understand the healthcare issue and Coakley sort of being perhaps an inept campaigner as well as a perception that shes a bit of s snob is helping Brown or am I off in that?
On a side note, while it's great to see people so energized over this, and would be very happy to see a Brown win, it's a little premature to be talking about things such as seating him. Is that all talk A15 for the most part from outside Mass.? I really am from watching the local news there on the net that the people in Mass are pretty settled on this thing. One of the things, that comes to mind would be, how about actually letting the man win the election first.
