Cook Report – Scott Brown now favored for Massachusetts Senate

The Cook Political Report is an independent, non-partisan newsletter that analyzes elections and campaigns for the US House of Representatives, US Senate, Governors and President as well as American political trends. Left wing nuts will try and discredit them much like with Rasmussen when they learn that the Cook Political Report now has Scott Brown favored to win the election on Tuesday! Hours before Obama’s disastrous appearance with Coakley in a hall they couldn’t even fill to capacity, Charlie Cook sent an unusual weekend update to his Cook Political Report subscribers saying that Scott Brown, the Republican, is now a slight favorite.

Cook added in his Sunday afternoon bulletin that the race can still go either way.

“This past Thursday, Jan. 14, The Cook Political Report moved the open Massachusetts Senate seat rating from lean Democrat to toss-up, having moved it from solid Democrat to lean Democratic on Jan. 7,” Cook wrote. “We continue to see this race as very much of a toss-up, with Republican state Sen. Scott Brown holding onto a very narrow, single-digit lead over Democratic state Attorney General Martha Coakley.

“Given the vagaries of voter turnout, particularly in lower participation level special elections, this race could still go either way, but we put a finger on the scale for Brown. Last-minute Democratic attacks on Brown have driven his negatives up some and slightly diminished the incredible intensity of support that Brown enjoyed, but it looks more likely than not to hold.”

    And when he wins by double digits, what will this say about the polls that are always so favorable to Obama and the Democrats?

    The polls that now show less than half still support Obama, when it’s obvious he’s toast and the real numbers are much lower?

    Where’s the accountability?
