MONEY BOMB: REPUBLICAN BROWN
RAISES $1.3 MILLION IN SINGLE DAY
Republican candidate Scott Brown raised $1.3 million in an online "money-bomb" event Monday, according to his Senate campaign. The daylong fundraiser for the GOP candidate in next week's special election -- to fill the seat vacated by the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy -- was promoted by major conservative Web sites and bloggers. Recent polls indicate that Brown, a state senator, has gained ground on state attorney general Martha Coakley, creating the chance for a rare Republican victory in heavily Democratic Massachusetts.

BROWN IN DEBATE: 'WE ARE AT WAR'
BOSTON GLOBE: The sharpest exchanges came over national security, with Brown hammering Coakley for supporting civilian prosecution of suspected terrorists . . . and for not backing President Obama's proposal to add troops in Afghanistan. "We are at war," Brown said. "We're at war in our airports. We're at war in our shopping malls." . . . "It's naive to think that we have the troops to send everywhere," Coakley said . . .

BLUE TO RED?
RICHARD BAEHR: An unusual opportunity now presents itself in the special election for U.S. Senator in Massachusetts, to take place on Tuesday, January 19. Republican Scott Brown is in striking range of Martha Coakley for the Senate seat once held by the late Ted Kennedy and now held by appointed interim Senator Paul Kirk. Massachusetts is not a Republican-friendly state. It voted for Obama over McCain by 26%. There are zero Republicans in the ten-member U.S House delegation . . . READ MORE BOSTON HERALD: If you love what's going on in Washington, well, then by all means vote for Martha Coakley . . . she won't make a dime's worth of difference in the balance of power in Washington. But if you're not happy with the status quo, if you think the way business is being conducted on Capitol Hill today is a disgrace and an affront to taxpayers, then you probably agree it's time for a change. Scott Brown can single-handedly deliver on that kind of change . . . READ MORE WORCHESTER TELEGRAM & GAZETTE: Given the serious issues that face our nation, and the deep ideological divides that have riven Congress, we believe that state Sen. Scott Brown is the best choice to reinvigorate Massachusetts' voice on Capitol Hill. . . . READ MORE
LAWRENCE EAGLE TRIBUNE: Now, voters in Massachusetts can make a real change in Washington. They can put a stop to the leftward surge in politics led by an unfettered Democratic Party. . . . On Jan. 19, vote to make a difference. Vote for real change. Vote to send Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate . . . READ MORE

"IT'S THE SPENDING STUPID!"
ReplyDelete*Sigh*....It seems neither the republicans NOR the democrats understand what to do.
By all means, yes, cut taxes. But without deep spending cuts, all we're doing is robbing our grand children when we cut taxes.
The US Congress has been spending money at an unimaginable rate...there is simply no pithy euphemism to describe the vast sums of money they blow through.
But American's don't make the necessary connection...GOVERNMENT PRODUCES NOTHING! Every dime it spends, it must take from you in the form of taxes.
Cutting taxes, without cutting spending means they're borrowing the money. That means your stealing it from your children and grand children.
SOMEONE'S going to have to pay the tab, are we going to pay our own way, or stick someone else with our bill?
