1. My hope is that

Democrats prove Dean wrong.

2. I'm sure that's Howard Dean's hope as well.

So far, not so good.

3. That is my hope as well.

In Florida the candidates are already picked, their finances are assured. And all we have to do is vote. That should not be too hard to do.

6. Well, shame on me. I deleted mine.

It's a good thing no one else ever posts dupes.

7. says that Coakley was establishment and has only recently run on a 'fight for little guy"

horse.

No wonder!!

...........Coakley, the state's popular Democratic attorney general, comes right out of the establishment and has embraced her stature within the party. She has run a Rose Garden inevitability strategy, largely shunned retail politics, and dashed to Washington for an oh-so-insider fundraiser.

Now, with the race tight in its final days, Coakley's trying to appeal to an anti-Washington, pro-populism electorate by seizing the fight-for-the-little-guy mantle in hopes of thwarting a Republican victory. The White House and Coakley are hammering Brown for opposing Obama's just-announced plan to tax large Wall Street firms.

"I'm standing with Main Street on this one. Scott Brown stands with Wall Street," Coakley charged.

"There's only one candidate in this race who's a tax cutter - and it's not Martha Coakley," countered Brown, unwilling to cede his advantage among the angry electorate.

8. I guessed this was possible from the first that I encountered the word "crossover".

A very smart gambit by Republicans to preserve the maximum base possible in a time of real destruction for them. The very things that could work for Democrats, also work for Republicans, even though Democrats SHOULD be way more likely to deliver. There just aren't any Democrats with the guts to go there.
