I would hardly call a 9% lead with so many undecideds "safe".

26% undecideds? Colour me skeptical.

Undecideds most likely skew democrat, though.

While Coakley will more than likely win, wouldn't it be mildly amusing if she blew it again?

That would, however she would REALLY have to do something bad to blow it this time. For some reason this is still what I would call Likely D.

This.

Having said which, from what I've seen 'on the ground' (as it were), people do seem a lot more sold on the idea of Coakley as our governor now than they ever did on the idea of her as our senator four and a half years ago.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure she could still blow it.

Undecideds most likely skew democrat, though.

But Coakley has the name recognition. Obviously a problem when a high profile prototype Democrat musters 39% in Massaeffingchusetts.

Also I've seen polls showing Coakley ahead by more than nine points before...well how did that turn out guys?
