Anecdotal evidence 1: my husband came back last night from playing in his over-40 ice hockey league, and he said everybody was talking about Scott Brown, and all of them were voting for Scott Brown. This is not a bunch of guys who normally pay much attention to politics, but they're paying attention now. They've had it with the Democrat Machine on Beacon Hill and Washington, and they're sick of the ever growing "redistribution" of their hard-earned money.
Anecdotal evidence 2: I just got back from phone-banking at the Scott Brown campiagn office in Littleton, MA, and the place was buzzin' like a beehive. There were over 20 volunteers there, mostly manning the slick automated phone banks and getting out the vote. Yee haw!
The Lowell Sun came out and endorsed Scott Brown as US Senator today, this is the fourth major endoresement in two days. Excerpt:
"Massachusetts doesn't need to elect yet another person who will toe the Democratic Party line and kowtow to leadership. Massachusetts needs a senator who will challenge the status quo, is strong enough to take a stand on controversial issues, and will put Bay State residents first when making decisions."
"In the race to fill the seat held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy in the U.S. Senate, Republican Scott Brown is the candidate who promises to best represent the state's 6.3 million residents."
I love this comment in the Lowell Sun from Floyd:
"I am a union member with a so-called Cadillac health insurance plan that I fought 30 years for. Me and all the rank & file are voting for Brown."
