The Wall Street Journal this morning is positively salivating over the possibility that Ted Kennedy's Senate seat might be filled by--a Republican! 'The Public Policy Poll found that likely Bay State voters oppose the Democratic health plans by 47% to 41% and that they give President Obama only 44% job approval,' the editors write. 'This in a state he carried by 26 points only 14 months ago. It also found Republicans much more motivated to vote than Democrats.' (They would have to be, given Massachusetts's deep-dyed blue tint.)
The contenders are Martha Coakley, in the donkey suit, and Scott Brown, the elephant in the healthcare china shop. Mr Brown either has a 15 point lead or no lead at all, depending on whose poll you believe. (One of his campaign ads shows Jack Kennedy touting the advantages of a tax cut.) The special election is January 19. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
