Things are not looking good for Martha Coakley (D-MA) in tomorrow’s special election.
In a desperate but unsurprising move on MLK Day, the Democrat plays the King card:
Coakley, in her remarks at the breakfast, linked her candidacy to the legacy of King and Edward M. Kennedy. “If you send me to the Senate, I will be guided by those values,” she said. ”It’s not about me anymore. It never was. It’s what Martin Luther King stood for. It’s what Ted Kennedy stood for.”
She said King would have been on the “front lines” fighting for health care “not as a privilege but as a right, as Senator Kennedy often said.”
Nope, it’s never about her. Spoken like a true liberal politician. Who can blame her? Even the Daily Kos poll shows her significant lead four days ago now vanished:
A new survey from Research 2000 (500 LVs, 1/15-17, MoE +/- 5%), this time for the Daily Kos, shows that Martha Coakley’s 8-point lead has been wiped out in just four days.
Special Election Matchup
Brown (R) 48 (+7 vs. last poll, 1/12-13 )
Coakley (D) 48 (-1)
Kennedy (I) 3 (-2)
Und 1 (-4)
Ouch. Not to mention Rothenberg is now updating this race from Toss-Up to Lean Takeover.
And sadly, it seems Coakley supports have all but given up on the fight based on this video of an empty phone bank.
Go out to vote on Tuesday — support Scott Brown (R) for U.S. Senate.
