Heading into the Massachusetts Democratic primary on Dec. 8, Attorney General Martha Coakley has a 15-point lead over her closest challenger for the nod to run for the seat vacated by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Nov. 23.

Coakley leads Rep. Michael Capuano by 36 percent to 21 percent. The surprise is that Alan Kazei, co-founder of City Year, a kind of domestic Peace Corps, has moved into a tie with Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca at 14 percent each. Five percent prefer some other candidate and 10 percent are undecided. A Boston Globe poll conducted Nov. 13-18 had Pagliuca at 15 percent and Kazei at 6 percent.

Why would you be interested in Mass. They re elect Barny and John, neither of thw two have any integrity, value or morals. They will always elect a democrat, regardless of how horrible. What a shame they are so blinded by partisanship

After this Obama mess, how could ANYBODY ever vote for a Democrat again. Probably everybody in Massachusetts will be a Republican or an Independent. Even the alive Kennedy's wont vote for a Democrat.

It's too late for Massachusetts, but here are a couple of ideas that a lot of the country is finding out. (1) Any sacrifice you make for your country will eventually be pissed away by a liberal politician. (2) Never, ever vote for a democrat.
