Are the wheels coming off for the left in Massachsetts?

For the democrats, the never ending agony of watching Martha Coakley snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is almost comical.

Go on vacation 3 weeks before the election?

Check.

Have one of your goons flatten a reporter, only to have that goon turn out to be an Obama appointee?

Check.

Go to a fundraiser so you can get bought by 17 health care company lobbyists one week before the election? (You know, the kind Obama lied about while he was running?)

Check.

Insult hockey fans at Fenway by refusing to go out and shake their hands because it's too cold?

Check.

It is difficult o conceive of any worse way to run a campaign.

Of course, when you've got nothing to run ON, well, that does make it hard, doesn't it?

And tonight? Tonight, polling indicates that her Republican opponent, one State Senator Mark Brown, has now gone out to a 4 point lead.

Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.

It is difficult o imagine how massive the fall out of a leftest defeat could actually be.

A political version of Haiti would be the BEST the democrats could hope for.

"Stimulate" THAT.
