Because of this, we are moving our rating of the race from Narrow Advantage for the Incumbent Party to Toss-Up.
Who would have expected to read these words in The Rothenberg Political Report just a month ago?
For the record, political analyst Charlie Cook notes that: “there is something big going on in Massachusetts” and thinks that Republican Scott Brown “may really win.”
The last two polls, both released Thursday, show a single-digit edge for Democrat Martha Coakley – or a deficit.
Will the Bay State up-end politics the way Pennsylvania did in 1991, sending Washington a strong message on health care? And why has Massachusetts turned on ObamaCare? (Hint: they’ve been living the “dream” since 2006.)
To read my thoughts, see my latest essay at the Washington Examiner.

Gratzer: And why has Massachusetts turned on ObamaCare?
Because Massachusetts already has RomneyCare!
No one has yet explained what ObamaCare can do for the citizens of Massachusetts that RomneyCare hasn’t already accomplished.
In fact, it appears that the bill now before Congress is WORSE than RomneyCare. (RomneyCare includes a public option, CommonwealthCare, for the truly needy. ObamaCare does not.)
