Why isn't Brown releasing his internals?
I'm trying to game theory out his motives. Any thoughts?

4. He can't believe the manna from heaven in the form of national news coverage.
Bringing him millions from all the teabaggers from across the country. All based on one r leaning poll.

See these polls: RealClearPolitics.com

16. Exactly right.
I just now saw the newsreader on "The Toady Show" calling the MA race a "crisis" for President Obama. She then went on to discuss what a horrible candidate Coakley is with Joke Scarborough. I'm sure he went on to do an encore with the MSNBC crew after that. It's been this way on every network for the past two days, and I expect it to continue tomorrow, as well. Even if Brown's "internals" suck, it won't matter, since he has his cheerleaders in the M$M demoralizing everyone who might go out and vote for his opponent.

5. My theory is that he has peaked and that the newest stuff is closer
or shows him losing.

Why would you release stuff that counters the good stuff from so-called unbiased sources.

Coakley probably released hers to get the troops motivated.

6. That is my interpretation as well.
It has the biggest payoff with the minimum risk for him.

10. all thinking is wishful thinking
when trying to assess someone else's motives.

12. Ah, but I have years of up close and personal experience
with the workings of the political mind...

I would say mine would be more of a guess made with the weight of experience on my side...

13. Why should he? Seriously, he has no reason to do so.
A good poker player never shows his hand.

14. He doesn't have to do it. Also it makes no sense releasing internals that
may show him losing deflating what support or money he is getting.

15. There is no way to know by whom and why these internals were released.
But I would treat everything we hear and see about the MA campaign with extreme caution. There is a lot of disinformation going around.
