Poll: Scott Brown ahead of Martha Coakley by 9 points

The latest Politico poll has Scott Brown’s lead over Martha Coakley expanding to 9 points. You may remember that Martha Coakley led Brown by more than 30 points less than two weeks ago. I can’t remember a time when a candidate lost so much ground so quickly.

I’m very optimistic that Scott Brown will win the seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy. If he does, it will send an overwhelming message to Barack Obama and every Democrat in Congress. Americans are tired of big government, and they plan on letting them know just how much in November 2010 and 2012.
