MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, after talking to Suffolk University’s pollster: “If the bellwethers are double digits for Brown, the game’s over… I don’t see people changing their minds. People know what they’re voting for. They’re voting against the health care bill, they’re not voting against the president.”

Mike Barnacle says he’s not that surprised, citing that Brown’s appeal is “less about him being a conservative or Republican than against the existing order, against the establishment.”
