Public Policy Polling (whose client list is almost exclusively Democrats) has an eye catching poll putting Republican Scott Brown on the right side of a statistical dead heat in the Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senate (48-47).
PPP also makes sure the Democrat (Martha Coakley) gets some pointers on how to leave defeat in the jaws of victory (although it’s nothing Coakley’s people couldn’t have thought up on their own).
Unfortunately, this means Coakley has nine days to figure this out and “fix” it.
Then again, the Cincinnate Bengals had six days to figure out the Jets, and we all saw how that went.
Now, where can I scrounge up a Scott Brown for Senate web badge?

I’m going to assume that this (among other things) is why there is a sudden movement among lefty bloggers to have the Senate change the number of votes needed for cloture reduced from 60 to 55.
