"MASS IS NOT GOING TO ELECT A REPUB TO REPLACE A KENNEDY."

This is from the excellent blog Le-gal In-sur-rec-tion, written by Cornell Law Professor William A. Jacobson.

Jacobson was one of the prime movers of the Scott Brown uprising, who not only donated to the Brown campaign, but who traveled to Needham, MA to help out.

When word leaked out that left-friendly polls were showing Brown within the margin of error, The Boston Globe released a poll suggesting Coakley was up by as much as 15%.  This impressed "BUCKJOHNSON," the resident gadfly of the blog.

The moral of this story: Never make a bet on a tip from BUCKJOHNSON.
