POPSThe Scott Heard 'Round the World
One elected Democratic official -- although required by the state party to support Coakley publicly -- privately admitted over the weekend that he will vote Tuesday for Brown, as will his wife. Coakley was "mailing it in" on the senatorial campaign trail, the official said, relating how in his own election, he had gone door-to-door "seven days a week" soliciting votes. After winning the Dec. 8 Democratic primary, however, Coakley seemed to shift into neutral, expecting to coast easily to victory in the general election. She even took a six-day vacation from campaigning in December. A lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, Brown has relentlessly criticized the Obama administration's decision to grant civilian trials to accused foreign terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Giuliani pounded that theme Friday while campaigning with Brown here, slamming Coakley for her assertion during a debate last week that terrorists were "gone" ......

POPSI Don't Know Scott Brown's Record, But I'll Attack It Anyway -- Most analysts still believe the Democrats can win. But even a narrow defeat will be portrayed as a victory by the Republicans. Brown’s Senate campaign is already being studied by party strategists as a model. “He’s making healthcare a front-and-centre issue in the most liberal state in the country and it’s working for him,” said Whit Ayres, co-founder of Resurgent Republic, a group of conservative strategists. “It’s the albatross around the Democrats’ necks.” Obama advisers are quietly spreading word that Coakley's campaign is doomed. Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday. The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama's visit to Massachusetts on Sunday -

POPSScott Brown Link Roundup #6 Update: Just got a robocall from Curt Schilling reminding me that Martha Coakley is so out of touch she thinks he's a Yankees fan. Probably the most effective call I've gotten. Looks like the Coakley campaign has has pissed off UPS now: What can Scott Brown do for Dems? UPS ships off legal salvo Shipping giant UPS isn't amused by a Democratic Party campaign pamphlet attacking Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown that plays off the company's slogan "What can Brown do for you?" Atlanta-based United Parcel Service, known for its ubiquitous brown trucks, demanded yesterday that the Massachusetts Democratic Party, which is listed as paying for the pamphlet, stop distributing it. The mailer asks "What can Brown do to you?" It shows Scott Brown dressed up as a UPS driver and says, "He can reward corporations that ship your job overseas just like George W. Bush."... Thanks to Mickey S. for sending along a scan of the mailer he received. Note the Bush button.

POPSMedia Carrion-Eaters Swoop Down on Rudy; Rudy Wins We’ve had one under Obama.” This, the Old Media claims, is an example of Rudy “somehow” forgetting that 9/11 occurred. Of this the Associated Press published a wire story that breathlessly proclaimed: Giuliani: No domestic terror attacks under Bush. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani set off a tempest about terrorism Friday with his claim that this nation “had no domestic attacks” under President George W. Bush. If this isn’t a manufactured controversy, then what is? Does anyone really think that Rudy somehow forgot 9/11 happened? He was the mayor of the nation’s largest city when it came under attack by terrorists, in the most destructive attack on America since Pearl Harbor in 1941. Isn’t it more likely that everyone who’s not an idiot, a Leftist, or a lawyer understood the context: that Rudy was marking 9/11 as the beginning of the current terror cycle?

POPSScott Brown: Obama Not Invited To This Party Some polls are showing the Senate contest far closer than any pundits expected, and Coakley in danger of losing her clear shot at the historic seat. Coakley said yesterday she hasn’t heard from the White House. “I welcome his support, but we’ve got a lot of support here in Massachusetts (and) I think he’s got a lot on his plate in Washington,” she said. Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs said yesterday that the president had no plans to visit Massachusetts, even though he realizes “there’s a lot at stake in the election.” But sources said Coakley is pushing for a Sunday event with Obama as the race remains glued to the national spotlight. “We would love to see Obama any time,” said Boston City Council President Michael Ross, a Coakley supporter who attended her event at Dorchester’s Kit Clark Senior Center yesterday. “Any time the president of the United States comes it will remind Democrats to get involved.”

POPSMass Amnesia: Right-Wingers Forget Who Was President on 9/11/01 Ignoring the irony of Rudy “noun, a verb, and 9/11” Giuliani claiming there were “no domestic attacks under Bush,” the logic of the conservative claim that the failed Christmas Day attack represents a mar on Obama’s record while Bush’s post-9/11 record was spotless reveals a stunning double standard. As many, including ThinkProgress, have pointed out, Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab’s failed underwear bombing is nearly identical to Richard Reid’s failed shoe bombing in December 2001, but the conservatives attacking Obama for letting an attack occur on his watch don’t seem to count the shoe bombing as an attack on Bush’s watch.

POPSRudy Giuliani: "We had no domestic attacks under Bush" Given that Dana Perino and Mary Matalin made similiar statements, writing off Giuliani's omission of 9/11 as a memory lapse could be a mistake. It could very well be that some in the GOP are trying to rewrite history for the purpose of making the public think that a domestic attack by terrorists on US soil only occurred under Obama. Don't mention 9/11. Maybe the public will forget. What audacious historical revisionism.

POPSOn Giving The Enemy The Rights of An American Citizen “Most Americans, we suspect, can overlook the legal niceties and see this episode through the lens of common sense. Foreign terrorists who wage war on America and everything it stands for have no place sitting in a court of law born of the values they so detest. Mr. Holder has honored mass murder by treating it like any other crime.” More at STACLU including Rudy Giuliani on KSM’s trial in NYC VIDEO (part1 & part2) http://bit.ly/7Prtu0

POPSThe Mystique of 'Free-Market Guy' Obama
Read the rest for the full value... Recent U.S. history shows that you can't serve corporate interests at the same time you're seeking reform - of healthcare or Wall Street or any other sector. Not when big corporations are the problem . . . and the major obstacles to change. Placating big business en route to social reform is like downing a flask of whiskey en route to kicking alcoholism. Yet there was the Obama White House this summer entering into secret deals with the pharmaceutical lobby protecting that industry's outsized profits. That's why he received more Wall Street funding than any candidate in history and why - before he was a front-runner in early 2007 - he was raising more money from the biggest Wall Street banks than even Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, presidential candidates from New York. That's why - as soon as Hillary left the race - he went on CNBC and assured big business: "Look: I am a pro-growth, free-market guy. I love the market." That's w

POPSHey Obama ~ Don’t Forget Deval Patrick! a state political race by the president, and is a delicate one, given that Mr. Paterson is one of only two African-American governors in the nation. Hey Obama, as long as you’re meddling in state politics to undermine black governors, you might want to consider throwing Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick under the same bus. He’s way down in the polls, too! By the way, Mr. President, congratulations on the state politics-meddling re Ted Kennedy’s deathbed wish to reverse his 2004 request for a Massachusetts law that would have barred then-Gov. Mitt Romney from appointing a replacement to John Kerry in the event he … snort … excuse me … got elected president. With last week’s 95-58 vote in the Massachusetts House, it’s looking good. The President of the United States and others who do not reside in Massachusetts, such Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, have been meddling in local politics because they are worried that despite dominating House, Senate and White House . . .

POPSBoston PD Officer Barrett G-O-N-E, Says Mayor Thomas Menino But city lawyers cited Menino’s former Gotham counterpart, ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who triumphed in court when a cop sued after he was fired for racist behavior. According to reports at the time, Joseph Locurto donned blackface and joined others on the float who hurled watermelon slices at the crowd and re-enacted the brutal murder of James Byrd Jr., a black man dragged to death by white men months earlier. Separately, city lawyers said Barrett’s disciplinary hearing would not be held this week, according to court documents. Barrett’s attorney had raised concerns the cop, who is on paid administrative leave, would be fired for filing the lawsuit.

POPSCPAC Straw Poll Vindicates Ron Paul, Huckabee Distanced
Ron Paul in virtual tie for 2nd, with Palin, well above Huckabee. Conservatives, unlike the republican establishment, like Ron Paul's principles on economics, preserving Constitutional law and liberty, and apparently even foreign policy (surprise, surprise) over others . This shows that conservatives then are divided, and not ready to throw all their weight behind one lead candidate (i.e. Romney, a CFR member and RINO who has no real conservative or Constitutional record). It must be acknowledged that Ron Paul's principles are vindicated as attractive among conservatives, and been missing from the Republican party. While Romney won the poll this still means Republicans are out of touch with conservatives listening now to Paul outside the heat of political campaigns. The fact that he fairs so much better here than during the primaries (although he trampled Giuliani then) says that conservatives are awakening and listening to his message, finally.

POPSKilling That Little Monkey 3. What we have here, on the part of the NY Post, is a repeat of what Hillary Clinton did late in the primaries. Frustrated the contest was slipping away, she drew a connection between Obama's nomination and the assassination of Robert Kennedy. (See BNN's: Killing The Electricity.) In that case, she was trolling for votes by way of the scare tactic that Obama's charisma, paired with his race, made him a less likely bet in terms of his "durability." In this case, The Post is flat out playing on hate, taking aim at Obama (and blacks in general, as the monkey is black) by way of GOP hostility to the stimulus bill. 4. To the extent Bush was widely and broadly identified with the chimp (1, 2, 3, etc.), not to mention the historic destruction of the American economy, one very insidious thing the image does -- in proposing/swapping Obama for The Chimpster -- is to start to unravel the association.

POPSObama, Israel, and Foreign Policy--Key Supporters and Advisers More on what to expect from Obama as far as "change". It presents itself as centrist, but, in fact, on key issues is militant and hard line, especially on the Middle East. It advocates coercing Iran to surrender its sovereignty, knuckle under to Washington, or be unilaterally attacked if it won't, and gets its advice from "two leading Iran experts:" -- Michael Rubin of the right wing American Enterprise Institute, a former Giuliani advisor, closely allied to Bush neocons ; and -- Ken Katzman of the Congressional Research Service, a Middle East specialist who's ideologically allied with the right and no friend of Iran.
