Here he comes - we KNEW this would happen if the polling showed her going down. DON'T let this influence you! Stay with Scott. We need to put the brakes on everything being rammed through Washington. Scott NEVER said he wasn't for Health Care Reform....just that we need to slow down!!! SLOW DOWN.....STOP!!! Martha's attack ad's are so predictable! Do we REALLY need another rubber stamp???? Do we? Don't we have enough of them in - let me use their favorite phrase...."in lock-step with Obama"...!?

Giuliani leads feisty Brown rally in North End - Local News Updates - The Boston Globe:
A feisty crowd of several hundred shouted 'Rudy, Rudy' and 'Go, Scott, Go' this morning in the North End as former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani campaigned for surging Republican Scott Brown in his bid for US Senate.
Another chant from the throng declared, 'The liberals are going! The liberals are going!' and a sign read, 'It's our turn for a change.' Giuliani fired up the crowd by recalling his stump work on the victorious Republican campaigns of former governors William Weld, Paul Cellucci, and Mitt Romney."

Coakley vs Brown – Another Shot Heard ‘Round The World? | Conservative American News:
I cannot help but think that the special election between Martha Coakley and Scott Brown for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, may be viewed as the second time in American history that Massachusetts fires the shot heard ’round the world. Not much more than a week ago, it was almost unthinkable that Brown could pull this off in a traditionally deep blue, heavily Democrat state."

Outline of deal on Cadillac plans - Live Pulse - POLITICO.com
You don't belong to a Union...you get killed. With the expense of Insurance...a Regular plan is creeping up to their "Cadillac" Plan threshold. So...either join a Union ( Hummmmmm...could that be one of the underlying thoughts...) or WAKE UP and VOTE!
This is no longer about Health reform...it's about who can negotiate the best "deal"....
Outline of deal on Cadillac plans - Live Pulse - POLITICO.com:
Labor leaders have scheduled a conference call for 4:30 p.m. Thursday. Here are the outlines of what they will announce, according to a source familiar with the agreement:
— The threshold will be raised to $24,000 for family plans, $8,900 for individuals
— The tax won't kick in until Jan. 1, 2018, for some collective bargaining agreements, and state and local government workers.
— There would be further increases to the threshold for plans with older workers and women, which would benefit unions with a high proportion of female membership."

My Way News - AP source: Obama seeking tax on biggest banks:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Mindful of soaring deficits and an anti-Wall Street mood, President Barack Obama wants a new 10-year tax on the country's largest banks to cover a projected $117 billion shortfall in the government's financial crisis bailout fund.
The president planned to propose Thursday a levy of 15 basis points, or 0.15 percent, on the liabilities of large financial institutions to make sure every dollar spent from the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program to rescue Wall Street firms, auto companies and mortgage holders is either repaid or paid for. Congress would have to approve the tax."

Joe Biden update: He meets on transparency today. But the meeting is closed | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times:
Everybody should just relax and take it easy.
Unsubstantiated rumors that Vice President Joe Biden had suddenly gone a little loopy and ordered some of his official meetings opened to at least cursory public or media attention were just that -- unsubstantiated rumors.
After a recent public sighting, fears had mounted that the one-time, long-term senator might rebel against traditional White House strictures and start acting on all the administration's oft-promised promises of government transparency and official openness running back into 2008.
But the VP's public schedule today puts all those fears to rest."

BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts's top election official says it could take weeks to certify the results of the upcoming U.S. Senate special election. That delay could let President Barack Obama preserve a key 60th vote for his health care overhaul even if the Republican who has vowed to kill it wins Democrat Edward M. Kennedy's former seat."

DAVID ROSE: The mini ice age starts here | Mail Online:
The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.
Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in
