According to a Politico commissioned Insider Advantage poll taken today, younger voters aged 18 to 29 years old are voting for Scott Brown 61 to 30 percent in Massachusets no less. The MA people of all ages are giving their votes against the big government policies of this current administration.
“When there’s a nine-point difference, it’s awfully hard to shave off enough to win,” Towery said. “The older voters are even tied. And the youngest voters have turned against the Democrats,” he said, pointing to Brown’s 61 to 30 percent lead among voters 18 to 29 years old. (Voters 65 and older, typically a key Democratic constituency, are divided between the two contenders, 48 percent a piece).

Mass. Senate race: Coakley made deal with Father Geoghan in 1995
Today’s Boston Globe reported that Coakley declined to press charges against notorious pedophile Father John Geoghan, despite allegations that he fondled three underage boys.
Dirk McQuigley’s diary :: ::
Coakley in 1995 was serving as the head of the Middlesex County sex crimes unit. She opted to give Geoghan one year of probation even though three boys told investigators that the priest fondled them and made threatening phone calls to their homes.
Over a 30-year career in six parishes, Geoghan was accused of sexual abuse involving more than 130 children. Charges were brought in Cambridge concerning accusations of a molestation that took place in 1991. Geoghan was defrocked in 1998. He was found guilty in January 2002 of indecent assault and battery for grabbing the buttocks of a 10-year-old boy in a swimming pool at the Waltham Boys and Girls Club in 1991, and was sentenced to nine to ten years in prison.
Advocates for victims of clergy abuse ripped Coakley’s behind closed doors secret agreement:
“What Martha Coakley did in 1995 I would consider negligent from the point of view of the public good,’’ said A.W. Richard Sipe, a former priest and psychotherapist who has written extensively about clergy sexual abuse. “Even if it was a misdemeanor, once you put it in the public eye, that’s what starts people coming forward.’’
Indeed, that is exactly what happened. A year after Coakley’s secret deal, the mother of the three boys filed a civil suit. According to reporter Michael Rezendes, news stories recounting some of the details of the suit, including the allegation that Geoghan asked the boys if they had sexual contact with their mother, prompted additional victims to step forward with similar stories.

The special Senate election will be held on January 19 and special elections typically feature low turnout. That’s one reason the race appears to be a bit closer than might typically be expected for a Senate race in Massachusetts.
However, as is the case nationally, those who feel strongly about the bill are more likely to be opposed. The overall figures include 36% who Strongly Oppose the plan while 27% Strongly Favor it.
