ARG's latest poll from the Massachusetts Senate race shows Scott Brown (R) extending his lead over Martha Coakley (D) in the final hours campaigning.

The previous ARG poll, taken Jan. 12-14, showed Brown with a 3-point lead over Coakley, 48-45. The new poll, released today, was taken over the weekend and shows Brown's lead to now be 7 points. He leads Coakley 52-45, with 2% undecided. The margin of error is 4%. Libertarian Joe Kennedy, who some have suggested might split the anti-Coakley vote tomorrow, polled at just 2% in both surveys.

I agree with the right wing nut job who asked:

Why would she release a toddler rapist with no bail and let him walk the streets for 2 years?

Capuano in 2012!!!!

Profesional courtesy: She was a DA and the rapist was a cop.

I don't understand the hysteria over losing the 60-seat majority. Not as if the Democrats could do anything without Presidents Lieberman, Nelson, Landrieu and Baucus's permission. All that ConservaDem-approved legislation that won't be passing? From what I've seen so far it'd be no great loss.

Fifty senators plus the VP can end the filibuster at any time. Doesn't take 60 to do that.

Lack of evidence? And that tricky little thing called innocent until proven guilty?

And why vote for Brown the rapist lover. He cares so much about rapists that he thinks the victims he impregnates should have to carry the baby and give birth.

I think this situation is mainly die Obame by saving Wall Stree, by giving so much to the corporation...His mantra has come from we the people for the people to we the corporation for the corporation. He was elected to make changes, and yet he decided to let Nelson, Landrieu, Lieberman, and Lincoln decide to support the Health Care insurance get away with murder. This was a bad decision, and now he will have to pay the consequences. I supported him and gave him money. I understand this is not an easy job, but with the majority he has, there is no excuse...

Correct - that's ALL that matters to the base! Of course, there are other "matters", but it is very, very difficult to go out and vote for a schmuck (or his party) that has not only not kept his promises but has not even made the effort to fight for what he promised you. What do you want - that we go and vote for the schmuck no matter what? We are not dumb, un-eductaed Republicans and this is not the USSR...

I really don't care what this poll or that say...i't will come down to wether or not the GEMs carrying the poll results have malware within them. Did we forget all the missteps and GEMs that went missing only to re-appear later.
