Jim is certainly correct when he says that Massachusetts Democrats can beat competitive Republican candidates when they are not taken by surprise.
Yet I cannot help but think that Mass Dems aren’t going to take any chances in 2012.
I have said it before and I will say it again. Scott Brown will most likely face off against Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick in two years time.
After all, Patrick isn’t running for a third term. Democrats will want a heavy hitter and Patrick carries the biggest stick.
But that said Mass Dems would be foolish to underestimate Brown’s arsenal of fastballs, curveballs and the occasional slider. As inept as Martha Coakley was, Brown has a personal touch few others can match.
Now it is true that Brown has alienated some Tea Party activists here in the Bay State. But if it’s a choice between Brown and Patrick, I don’t think they will stay home on November 6, 2012.

Governor Deval Patrick got 1,083,924 votes or 49% in November's election, but, Senator Scott Brown got 1,168,107 votes or 51.9% back in January's election, so this matchup should be a real good brawl. I sent him money last December, and I've been a bit let down by him since (to say the least), but I'll hold my nose and send him money again, because there's no sweeter thing in life, then to deny this seat to the Democratic Party. A RHINO is the best we're ever going to get up there in Massachusetts.

May this slave to the sodomite lobby get his just dessert. He is no friends of conservatives.

I give Brown a better than 50/50 chance. The voters in Mass. have a penchant for electing liberal Republicans who have competency in finance. On the other hand, the Dems in Mass. see it as blasphamy that a Republican occupies a seat they consider thiers by right.

If Deval uses a straw faux conservative candidate like Tim Cahill to dilute the moderate vote, he'll have a good shot.
