Brown is being endorsed by democrats and leading with the independents (the majority of Mass voters). People ARE voting on the economy and statements like "you didn't build that on your own" (first spoken by Warren, then echoed by Obama), "we should follow China's example on building our infrastructure", and lamenting student loans when she took down six figure salary as a "minority" professor at Harvard are killing her here. She has even resorted to campaigning in the Northampton, Amherst area (as liberal an area that you will ever find). She can't even rally support from them. Go back to 2010 and the special election between Brown and Coakley and she was always leading in the polls by double digits.
While I have no doubt Obama will win in Mass., I think it will be alot closer than people think. The majority of my family are lifelong democrats and they are voting for Romney. They all say the same thing-he was a good governor and the economy has gotten worse and the spending is out of control.
