Pajamas Media has published another poll in the Massachusetts Senate race that differs significantly from others in in the field on the final days of the race. But unlike the last Pajamas Media outlier, this poll shows Martha Coakley (D) with more momentum than the polls from other firms.
The Pajamas Media poll from Friday -- which produced more than a little consternation from readers when we posted it -- showed Scott Brown (R) ahead by 15 points, 54-39. The new Pajamas Media poll, taken yesterday afternoon, shows Coakley has cut that lead to 10, 52-42. Other polls over the weekend from PPP (D) and the Merriman River Group also show Brown ahead, but the PPP shows Brown with the momentum.

With Dems out numbering the GOP 3-1 for Brown to win he will have to carry every Republican and 60% of the independents! A tall order in any election! I still believe Martha Coakley will squeak out a victory tomorrow!

Guys? I know there was some hoohah over these guys the other day, but, seriously, I'm hoping there's a Muckraker look at these polls. There are just too many red flags here to let it go. Just to list a few:
1. Wingnut sponsors.
2. Previously unknown "pollster" that's actually a wingnut propaganda outfit.
3. Results that are wildly different from the other pollsters that just so happen to reinforce, initially, a "bandwagon" effect and then a "OMFG GOTV!" message precisely at the time a campaign flack would want that to happen.
Seriously, given that Republicans are already convinced that all poll results are faked by people with a librul agenda, it's really not hard to imagine them taking the next step and doing fake polling themselves.

Odd headline to describe a poll showing a candidate 10 points back.

9.6% is not enough. Ed Schultz even said he would vote 10 times if they let him. He was dead serious. He said that Democrats should lie cheat and steal to win the election (what's new, right?). I'm sure it will be a lot closer than 9.6%. Does anyone know how many times Democrats can vote in MA?

I have no idea of how many times a Democrat can vote in MA. What I'm concerned about is how many Democratic votes will be flipped to Brown by the Diebold machines.

The minute Mr. Schultz made his comments I knew people like you would run with it and use it to smear every Dem out their! I find it funny that you would accuse Dems of cheating in elections considering how Bush became President! What Mr. Schulltz said was bad but right wingers like Rush and Sean Hannity say far worse on a daily basis!
