MIGHT SCOTT BROWN'S SURGE TAKE HIS ONCE IMPROBABLE BUT NOW LIKELY VICTORY INTO "TEDDY TERRITORY"?

ACCORDING TO THE PUNDITS AND THE MACHINE, COAKLEY WAS SUPPOSED TO WALK INTO THE "TEDDY-SEAT."

WE FLOATED THE POSSIBILITY OF A DOUBLE-DIGIT WIN BY SCOTT BROWN YESTERDAY. NOW, A DOUBLE-DIGIT WIN IT SEEMS LIKELY!

(ROUND UP HERE.)

SO NOW WE ASK:

CAN SCOTT BROWN WIN MASSACHUSETTS WITH A MARGIN COMPARABLE TO TEDDY'S PERENNIAL WINS?

LET'S TAKE A LOOK...

Here's how well Teddy did over the years:

• 11/07/2006 MA US Senate Won 69.30% (+38.75%)
• 11/07/2000 MA US Senate Won 72.61% (+59.73%)
• 11/08/1994 MA US Senate Won 58.07% (+17.06%)
• 11/08/1988 MA US Senate Won 64.97% (+31.04%)
• 11/05/1982 MA US Senate Won 60.82% (+22.55%)
• 11/02/1976 MA US Senate Won 69.31% (+40.30%)
• 11/03/1970 MA US Senate Won 62.16% (+25.16%)
• 11/03/1964 MA US Senate Won 74.26% (+48.84%)
• 11/06/1962 MA US Senate - Special Election Won 52.92% (+8.42%)

THAT'S AN AVERAGE WINNING MARGIN OF 32%!

IT'S NOT LIKELY THAT SCOTT BROWN WILL DO THAT - NOT UNTIL HIS REELECTION!

BUT SCOTT BROWN COULD DO AS WELL OR BETTER THAN TEDDY DID IN HIS FIRST ELECTION - 1962'S SPECIAL ELECTION - 8.42%.

• I PREDICT THAT SCOTT BROWN'S MARGIN WILL MATCH OR EXCEED TEDDY'S 1962 SPECIAL ELECTION MARGIN.

• THAT MEANS : BROWN 54% ; COAKLEY 45% AND KENNEDY 1%.

BOTTOM-LINE: I'M PRAYING FOR A SCOTT BROWN VICTORY OF ANY DIMENSION!
