The new Democrats that will be running will try everything to distance themselves from the current Democratic government. Good luck with that! Republicans were not able to distance themselves from Bush in 2006 and 2008. I personally like President Bush’s policies – most of them.

Let’s try again.

Brown: 41.45%
Coakley: 49.91%

Now the intriguing results.

Republicans split:

Brown: 71.43%
Coakley: 24.01%

Democrats split:

Brown: 17.17%
Coakley: 75.10%

Independents split:

Brown: 65.03%
Coakley: 21.43%

So, to summarize:

If republicans shore up their base, the race will be closer.

PPP has an interesting blog post on this race. They say that, assuming Brown gets the same percentage of his base as McDonnell in VA and the same percentage increase in Republicans coming out to the polls, and Coakley gets the percentages that Deeds got in VA, then the race is 51.5% to 48.5%

This would be winnable.
