AHHH, I just heard that myself! What a BIG waste of MORE tax dollars... :(

[David Harris]

Just come out to Vote. Nothing can stop this momentum. No one even cares for Obama's policies and I believe this will only hurt Coakley.

[Elaine]

AGREED, but why waste tax dollars we just do not have? Could be put to better use elsewhere!

Brian Walsh, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said an Obama visit “cuts both ways.’’ While it’s always helpful to get a boost from a sitting president, an Obama visit “would be a sign that she’s in very deep political trouble,’’ Walsh said.

Thank you for sharing that. You are right, they know she is in trouble. Now we just have to hope they do not come up with some big SMEAR campaign in the final days. I think the voters would see right through that anyway!

Where is he going to be? Wherever it is, he will make a speech with her. The background of which needs to be filled with "Scott Brown" campaign signs. The Brown team needs to have a bigger presence at this Coakley rally.
The national media will be swarming over this visit and following Obama everywhere. This could play out a bunch of different ways. But, a presidential visit garnishes a lot of attention.

I suggest having a "Trojan Horse" sneak attack. Show up in support of the president, hold Coakley signs but underneath them will be Scott Brown for U.S. Senate signs. Then tear off the Coakley signs to reveal them to the world.

Where is the Republican Calvary?

"Trojan Horse"

A Trojan Horse would be a great idea...

But I believe the major focus needs to be on getting the vote out!!! Call everyone you know. Appeal to there sense of civic duty or whatever you think will get your friends attention.

The Senate needes balance! It's long overdue that MASS had a Republican Senator!

Go Scott!

[Elaine]

I like the Trojan Horse idea! That is the ONLY way you will get anywhere NEAR the press that day. Believe me, I know from Obama's bogus HC informational visit to Portsmouth, NH that he SURROUNDS himself with supporters ONLY! I think you should go for it. :)

Well I would hurry up and get down to Kinko's if you're going to make those double signs.

Make sure the Coakley sign is dark enough so that you can not notice the underlying Brown sign.
