Scott Brown: Obama not invited to this party
Hillary Chabot By Hillary Chabot
Thursday, January 14, 2010 -

Surging GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown yesterday warned President Obama to ?stay away? from the Bay State during his roiling race against Democratic rival Martha Coakley and not to interfere with their intensifying battle in the campaign?s final days.

?He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one,? Brown said. ?The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They?re bringing in outsiders, and we don?t need them.?

Coakley?s campaign showed signs of panic as they scrambled to get a last-minute appearance by Obama to bolster their effort before Tuesday?s election.

Some polls are showing the Senate contest far closer than any pundits expected, and Coakley in danger of losing her clear shot at the historic seat.

Coakley said yesterday she hasn?t heard from the White House. ?I welcome his support, but we?ve got a lot of support here in Massachusetts (and) I think he?s got a lot on his plate in Washington,? she said.

Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs said yesterday that the president had no plans to visit Massachusetts, even though he realizes ?there?s a lot at stake in the election.?

But sources said Coakley is pushing for a Sunday event with Obama as the race remains glued to the national spotlight.

?We would love to see Obama any time,? said Boston City Council President Michael Ross, a Coakley supporter who attended her event at Dorchester?s Kit Clark Senior Center yesterday. ?Any time the president of the United States comes it will remind Democrats to get involved.?

But Republican consultant Charlie Manning said a visit from a president with tanking ratings would make Coakley look desperate as upstart Brown enjoys a last-minute boost from climbing poll numbers and media momentum.

?It?s sort of like trying to bail out a boat that?s already sinking. I don?t think they can fool the voters of Massachusetts this time,? Manning said.

National interest in the race centers on an impending vote on health-care reform - championed by the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

A Brown win would be crushing for Obama, who would lose a 60-seat Democratic majority in the Senate, said Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

In addition to a rally headed by former President Bill Clinton planned for tomorrow, Coakley?s team circulated a heartfelt plea from Kennedy?s widow, Vicki, last night asking supporters for help. They?re also rumored to be pushing for a potential event with Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy.

?It?s a real fight at this point in time,? said U.S. Rep. William Delahunt (D-Quincy). ?We?re doing everything we can to help.?

Brown urged Coakley?s campaign to keep the race about local issues instead of national figures.

?It?s me against the machine,? he said. ?And it always has been.?

Know what your saying.I might just vote for libertarian Kennedy:shrug:

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Coakley is the one that doesn't want O around--as she saw blowback in virginia and new jersey.

only one wants to be there less is O--as he still has egg dripping from his chin over new jersey when voters told him what they thought of him--instant replay in Kennedy's seat would be as bad as O himself losing electorate in DC

but maybe I'm wrong as it is obvious he and Dems could care less what america wants per the polls--apparanently its a terminal case of "I'm Gumby Damit-- I know whats good for you!

If liberal Massachusetts goes Republican, we are going to kick some ass in November and in 2012 and take back our country from these radicals from Chicago. Do the right think Mass voters and vote for Scott Brown

Mass will never go conservative--but they may make a statement--however wouldn't get hopes up of Brown winning--but win or lose "the statement" has already been made--in normal times there would be 0 discussion on this election.

Took em (including press) a year to figure what was obvious to many before--All hat-no cattle!

Looks like Brown would make another fine republican hypocrite politician. After talking about his opponent and the dems bringing in outsiders, and how inappropriate that is - then - he's happy to welcome in Rudy Giuliani.

:mj07:

Of course, being a hypocrite has never been much of an issue for you conservative supporters, now has it? Maybe 'ol Rudy can continue his terrorism intelligence theme, and remind all of us that no domestic terror incidents happened while Dubbya was president (remember that little incident in your home city, Rudy? :shrug: ). And Rudy is supposedly coming to show how qualified Brown is from a terrorism standpoint?

Chad Let me get this straight you detest politicias that are hypocrites and liers but like Obama--just how many videos would you like me to put up of him telling whoppers I can count about 5 off top of my head that are right up there with Bush Sr's- Read my lips--and he ain't been in a year yet.

Give us a short paragraph on O's character/honesty--starting with his pledge on campaign finance--transparency--no taxes on those making less than 250,000-gitmo-era of responsibilty--no washington as usual/no lobbiest in cabinet yada yada yada

The only thing he's been consisent on is blaming everyone for what goes wrong--of course he comes by that honestly :SIB

Was merely making a comment about this particular race, and your comment about Obama, and then what Brown decided was ok afterwards - with all the hoopla about voting for Brown. I figured that was appropriate for this thread, but I guess nothing is ever ok anymore.

Yes, Obama has reversed his stated opinion many times, and has been hypocritical. Is that what you wanted to hear? I'm unhappy about a lot of the things that have not come about that he was campaigning about. Nothing new, really, but it does bother me. I also know that all politicians say one thing, generally do another, when they have to sell themselves out to get financial backing.

I never said I detested politicians that are hypocrites, I expect most to have to readjust after an election. They all do it. Dems, too. Obama, too. Just calling one out here that hopes to be one. And this, to me, is the ultimate in hypocrisy. How do you feel about what Brown's stated position and posturing, then accepting Giuliani immediately thereafter, for the exact thing he criticized the opposition for? Do you have an answer for that one?

:scared

how does that work out ?

 

[THE KOD]

vote conservative.

RAYMOND and hedge will love you for it





Giuliani's first marriage was to his second cousin, Regina Peruggi. They were married for 14 years, before Giuliani had their marriage annulled by the Catholic church:scared :shrug:

I am not familiar with it Chad but will take your word for it--I'm having too much fun watching O trying to avoid campaign as to make it not look obvious it is his agenda that is turning even the staunchest Dem confines against his ultimate liberal agenda's--spend spend spend--tax tax tax and appears several agree--

Obama keeps his distance from Mass. race

Coming off stinging election losses in Virginia and New Jersey -- not to mention Copenhagen, where he failed to win the 2018 Olympics for his hometown of Chicago -- President Obama is staying away from what could become another painful loss.
Even though the campaign of Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley has been making quiet entreaties, the president has no plans to visit her in the last week of the special election to fill the Senate seat once held by the late Edward M. Kennedy.
"It's not on our schedule to go to next week," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said matter-of-factly.
With Mrs. Coakley flagging in the polls and Republican Scott Brown closing fast -- one recent polls puts him 2 points ahead -- Mr. Obama has decided to keep his fingerprints off a race that would be an embarrassment for Democrats should they lose, given that Mr. Obama won the state in 2008 by a 27 point margin.

A deft attempt to avoid my question. Here is the story which details my point, and if you care to, please let me know what you think about it, so you don't have to take my word for it:

GOP candidate bashes Obama as ?outsider? but welcomes Giuliani?s help
By Muriel Kane
Thursday, January 14th, 2010 -- 2:51 pm

As the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat formerly held by the late Teddy Kennedy unexpectedly tightens up, the national Democratic Party has begun frantically attempting to revive Martha Coakley's lackluster campaign, providing large infusions of cash, a dose of negative advertising, and even an appearance by former President Bill Clinton.

This surge of activity led Republican candidate Scott Brown to respond pre-emptively on Wednesday to a rumored appearance by President Obama, warning that he "should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one."

"The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected," added Brown, currently a Massachusetts state senator. "They?re bringing in outsiders, and we don?t need them."

It seems that Brown, in addition to his fondness for mixed metaphors and his use of "I" where proper grammar calls for "me," is also shaky on the definition of the word "outsider."

The Associated Press reports that even though the Republican Party has "withheld campaign appearances by national GOP figures who could hurt Brown ... former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani will visit Massachusetts on Friday to vouch for the candidate's anti-terrorism credentials."

Guiliani's own terrorism credentials, of course, have recently been called into question by his claim that "We had no domestic attacks under Bush."

Giuliani's appearance had been a closely guarded secret until it came out on Wednesday. Boston radio host Michele McPhee gushed on her Facebook page, "Rudy Giuliani will be in the North End of Boston to campaign for Scott Brown. I've been dying to blurt out the secret - but the secret is out."

Giuliani, of course, is also known as a Yankees fan -- although he did root for the Boston Red Sox in the 2007 World Series -- which may dim his effectiveness as a campaigner in Massachusetts. However, the ultimate effect of his appearance on Brown's campaign remains to be seen.

Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post reports that "Senate Democrats and affiliated outside groups are outspending their Republican counterparts by an almost two-to-one margin on television in the final week of the tight-as-a-tubesock special election."

Although one poll last week still showed Coakley up by 15 points, others put the race much closer or even have Republican state senator Scott Brown ahead by a percentage point.

A flurry of Democratic ads has attempted to reverse the momentum by tying Brown, who "has cast himself as an independent and downplayed his conservative credentials," closely to Republican Party leadership.
