Title: MA-Rasmussen: Tied race Post by: JRP1994 on September 21, 2014, 07:46:11 AM http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2014/massachusetts/election_2014_massachusetts_governor
Coakley: 42% Baker: 42% Scott Brown probably made a huge mistake not running for this rather than NH Sen. Title: Re: MA-Rasmussen: Tied race Post by: Tender Branson on September 21, 2014, 10:27:57 AM CoakleyLOL.
Title: Re: MA-Rasmussen: Tied race Post by: Maxwell on September 21, 2014, 10:35:48 AM Meh, I think this race was Toss-up or Lean D with or without Coakley. It's just a better narrative for Democrats if Coakley loses because of Coakley, instead of Baker winning because of his merits as a candidate.

MA is purple-blue when it comes to gubernatorial elections. Democrats have their huge registration advantage, but the right sort of republican can still do quite well.

Brown didn't want to be governor, because then he'd actually have to govern. He prefers to be a senator, where all you have to do is show up and vote the way the Kochs tell you to.

Eh, he might actually win that senate race and that's his preferred job (as IceSpear pointed out). Also, a Baker-Brown primary might not have ended well for the MAGOP.

Title: Re: MA-Rasmussen: Tied race Post by: pendragon on September 22, 2014, 11:29:35 PM If Brown wanted to be a senator he probably should have stayed here too; it's not like Markey is super-popular, and if he lost he could always come back, whereas if he loses after carpetbagging to NH his career is over.
I do have to say that I found his move to NH pretty mystifying. Title: Re: MA-Rasmussen: Tied race Post by: ElectionsGuy on September 22, 2014, 11:48:09 PM Sort of skeptical of this. I think Coakley is leading, but she's on a trend to blow another race in a deep blue state.
