If Scott Brown doesn’t win, it will be the first time I’ve ever seen a race where a candidate won the money war, the message war, and the momentum war . . . and still lost.
But that’s not why I’m calling this race.
Based on the six years I spent as a GOP consultant and flak, I called this race as soon as I found out about the Coakley CYA memo leaked to Politico.
Sorry, Democrats, but the White House and the Coakley campaign have both seen the internal polling. And by lunchtime today they were both blaming each other for losing the race.
This isn’t a CYA move. It’s a consultant concession speech.
My Escape Clause: Given that the Coakley campaign has clearly been run by idiots, they could be so stupid they think they’ve lost a race that they’ve won.
