Unions for Brown?

Yesterday was a big day for the Scott Brown (R) campaign. He had a good debate with Ms. Coakley (D) and apparently raised nearly 1.3 million dollars in a single day of on-line fundraising. Not bad for Senate campaign deep in the heart of one of the bluest states in the Union.

Probably the most interesting thing that I've seen regarding this election was posted at this blog. At the bottom of the post, a Scott Brown for Senate sign was built by the Steelworkers Union. If Mr. Brown is getting support from the larger unions (SEIU not included), then that is indeed a telling sign that this race may be the squeaker that polls are suggesting it could be.

I'm not betting against Coakley just yet, although it's very clear that Democrats seem to be worried. Mrs. X will be watching American Idol on election night. I'll see if I can't get to the upstairs TV on occasion to check returns.
