I think Obama is campaigning today or tomorrow. Seems like a very quiet race.

(40,168 posts)1. Last I heard Markey was up by 7.
Clinton and Obama have made appearances for Markey.
Gomez has everyone wondering what he stands for.
I think Mass. Dems are fully aware of the mistakes that were made in 2010 when Brown sneaked in, and won't let it happen this time.

If one appears in the next ten days, I'll be more worried.
It's possible. Special elections are strange creatures; Scott Brown began leading in polls around this point in 2010. That assumes, however, that Markey will make the same mistakes Coakley made.

They are the propaganda wing of the extremist conservative movement, nothing they say is to be believed.
