The Democratic Ship is sinking faster than the Titanic with 100 Michael Moores onboard. At this rate, you will be able to house their numbers in the bathroom of the Clinton Library phone booths.

Following on the heels of Senators Dodd and Dorgan jumping the good ship U.S.S.R Obama, comes word that the Old Lech’s seat may go GOP:

From NewsMax:

With the election only nine days away in what Politico is calling a possible “Massachusetts miracle,” the Republican candidate now has a strong chance of defeating his Democratic opponent in the race for Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate.

A poll by Public Policy Polling (PPP), a Democratic survey firm, shows Republican Scott Brown has overtaken Democrat Martha Coakley, and holds a 48 percent to 47 percent lead as the Jan. 19 special election approaches.

State Sen. Brown leads 63-to-31 percent among independents, and is winning 17 percent of the Democratic vote, while Attorney General Coakley receives only 6 percent support from Republican voters, according to the poll completed on Jan. 9.

The survey also found that 66 percent of Republicans are “very excited” about turning out to vote, while only 48 percent of Democrats feel that way.

“Brown is benefitting from depressed Democratic interest in the election and a huge lead among independents for his surprisingly strong standing,” PPP observed.

“Those planning to vote in the special election only report having voted for Barack Obama in 2008 by a 16-point margin, in contrast to his actual 26-point victory in the state. That decline in turnout from Obama voters plagued Democratic candidates for governor in Virginia and New Jersey last fall.”

The poll found that 57 percent view Brown favorably and 25 percent unfavorably, while 50 percent view Coakley favorably and 42 percent unfavorably.

Change is a comin’ and the Dems seem to have little hope come November. Charlie Cook might want to revise his Senate numbers and add a couple of more losses to the Dem column.
