Dem GOTV picking up Brown supporters  —  Stunned?  Seriously, the Dems crashed and burned by picking Obama and Pelosi to run their agenda.  —  What a grossly biased and misleading headline versus the story  —  LOL I assume they are interested in the Democratic process and giving ALL voters a ride.

Coakley adviser memo: D.C. Dems ‘failed’ Coakley  —  The Coakley campaign is bridling at finger-pointing from the White House and Washington Democrats, and an outside adviser to the campaign has provided to POLITICO a memo aimed at rebutting the charge that Coakley failed and making the case that national Democrats failed her.

Five things to watch in Mass.  —  The stakes for Tuesday's special Senate election in Massachusetts couldn't be higher.  At play: the Democrats' 60-seat supermajority — and, potentially, the fate of President Barack Obama's signature health care reform legislation.
Nate Silver / FiveThirtyEight:
25% ≠ 0%  —  Right now, our trusty little model of Massachusetts gives Martha Coakley just a 25 percent chance of prevailing tomorrow.  Intrade also puts her odds at about 1 in 4.  My subjective assessment might be a little better than that, but not much.
