Your Daily Glass Of Coakley

Steve Benen has your update on MA-SEN:

* As of early this morning, Vicky Kennedy's "Let's Do It For Ted" email appeal for Martha Coakley's Senate campaign in Massachusetts had raised over $520,000 in less than a day. By mid-morning, sources tell me the total cleared $600,000.

* On a related note, Coakley won six endorsements yesterday from newspaper editorial boards in Massachusetts, including the Boston Globe, the state's largest paper.

* Also in Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown has positioned himself as a regular guy, driving a truck with 200,000 miles on it, but we learned yesterday that he has nearly as many homes as John McCain.

Not sure how the "seven homes" attack is going to play in Mass, but the "Let's Do It For Ted" campaign is definitely the kind of thing we needed to see out of the Coakley campaign.

You know, back six weeks ago.  Sheesh.

Meanwhile, here in Buckeye Country:

* In Ohio, a new Rasmussen poll shows former Bush budget director Rob Portman (R) leading both of his Democratic opponents in this year's Senate race. While Lee Fisher (D) is expected to win the Democratic nod over Jennifer Brunner (D), at this point, Portman leads Fisher by seven and Brunner by three.

Rob Portman is something of a twit, but he continues to maintain a small lead.  Ohioans aren't too thrilled about the Dems right now, especially in the Big 3 cities, Columbus, Cleveland and Cincy.
