Massachusetts Senate Contest Now a Tossup

Quite stunning:

Public Policy Polling reported today that the Massachusetts Senate race is now a toss up.

Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state, Republican Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 48-47.

And word is that a Boston Herald poll to be released tomorrow also shows it a 1 point race. Obama won the State by 26 percentage points in 2008 – if Brown cuts it to 13 or less, then he’s done a fantastic job. If he cuts it to 6 or less, he’ll scare the bejabbers out of Democrats, everywhere. If he wins, it’ll shake up American politics in an amazing way – don’t think in terms of what happened in the past or what talking heads are saying. Just go forward in 2010 figuring that no one knows what the heck is going to happen and just do whatever you think best.

Gonna be a fun year, I think.
