“The Machine Is Coming Out Of The Woodwork To Get Her Elected”
Surging GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown yesterday warned President Obama to “stay away” from the Bay State during his roiling race against Democratic rival Martha Coakley and not to interfere with their intensifying battle in the campaign’s final days.
“He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one,” Brown said. “The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They’re bringing in outsiders, and we don’t need them.”
Coakley’s campaign showed signs of panic as they scrambled to get a last-minute appearance by Obama to bolster their effort before Tuesday’s election.
Some polls are showing the Senate contest far closer than any pundits expected, and Coakley in danger of losing her clear shot at the historic seat.
Coakley said yesterday she hasn’t heard from the White House. “I welcome his support, but we’ve got a lot of support here in Massachusetts (and) I think he’s got a lot on his plate in Washington,” she said.
Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs said yesterday that the president had no plans to visit Massachusetts, even though he realizes “there’s a lot at stake in the election.”
But sources said Coakley is pushing for a Sunday event with Obama as the race remains glued to the national spotlight.
“We would love to see Obama any time,” said Boston City Council President Michael Ross, a Coakley supporter who attended her event at Dorchester’s Kit Clark Senior Center yesterday. “Any time the president of the United States comes it will remind Democrats to get involved.”
But Republican consultant Charlie Manning said a visit from a president with tanking ratings would make Coakley look desperate as upstart Brown enjoys a last-minute boost from climbing poll numbers and media momentum.
“It’s sort of like trying to bail out a boat that’s already sinking. I don’t think they can fool the voters of Massachusetts this time,” Manning said.
National interest in the race centers on an impending vote on health-care reform - championed by the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
A Brown win would be crushing for Obama, who would lose a 60-seat Democratic majority in the Senate, said Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
In addition to a rally headed by former President Bill Clinton planned for tomorrow, Coakley’s team circulated a heartfelt plea from Kennedy’s widow, Vicki, last night asking supporters for help. They’re also rumored to be pushing for a potential event with Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy.
“It’s a real fight at this point in time,” said U.S. Rep. William Delahunt (D-Quincy). “We’re doing everything we can to help.”
Brown urged Coakley’s campaign to keep the race about local issues instead of national figures.
“It’s me against the machine,” he said. “And it always has been.”

Fuck, let them have it all, if our generals have not placed Obongo under arrest for treason for pissing on our constitution and guiding our country towards socialism, none of this matters anymore. Unless there’s an uprising, they will take it all. Conservatives and those so-called angry at Obama and his thugs can’t stop these enemies of the our country, we bitch and whine but they keep passing crap that cripples our country everyday and yet, this ass-wipe government we have now is still in power. I don’t believe in elections anymore and since there seems to be no movement of any significant force that can do anything, we are doomed to just complaint about this or that……..Brown, from what I’m hearing, will not win so let’s don’t get our panties in a “good” wad over this. In a civil war, we have a better chance……
I wonder how many dead people will vote.
hey mr. wabbit- i’m hunting black panthers. no bag limit.
No doubt about it. There is no way this guy wins. Even if he went into election day with a 5% lead, the hooligans of the left will find a way to make him lose.
Sadly, all this manipulation from D.C. and the entrenched powers that be will be enough. Mass is so liberal that people will vote for the chick just because she has a (D) next to her name.
Agreed, as I said at the beginning, Civil conflict must be waged. But why is it that the Dems can always manipulate things and the Republicans can’t???? We need to forget “decency” go to their corrupt level and wage a holy liberal war on these a-holes once and for all…….
Same as with that fucking idiot Franken in MN. Whatever lies, manipulation, ballot stuffing, murders they have to commit, these traitors will do it. Recall that Mass has been against America from the very start, when they sided with the British during the American Revolutionary War in the 18th century. Traitors from the start, always traitors.
You must mean Rhode Island.
Will ACORN be counting the votes again ?
Here is some good reading on the Bitch from Mass-hole land.

I lived in Mass for about six years. How anyone can tell the difference between “the machine” and “the woodwork” is beyond me.
There are some nice aspects about that state, but the dept of ejumacation and the ingrained welfare mentality of the voters aren’t among them.
Good luck to Brown. He’s fighting a very uphill battle against a state with a massive Kennedy Hangover.
when scott wins you can put the rifles back in the rack.
mass is going red.
This is leadership with balls. I do have one question, Mr. Holder, will you enforce law when it comes to this: “..,The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They’re bringing in outsiders, and we don’t need them…”
Never mind I have my answer. Lay down, good dawg.
