Ayla Brown ‘completely offended’ by Martha Coakley’s attack
Boston Herald
“American Idol” starlet Ayla Brown morphed into campaign pit bull yesterday for GOP dad Sen. Scott Brown as she tore into Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley for plunging the U.S. Senate race into the gutter.
“Martha Coakley’s new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics, and as a young woman, I’m completely offended by that,” said the 21-year-old Brown. “She even spelled Massachusetts wrong in her original ad which is very embarrassing, I must say as a young woman.”
The former Idol contender and Boston College senior sought to further boost her father onto the national political stage as the race intensified amid polls showing it tightening.
“This past campaign season I’ve really seen him evolve,” Brown told the Herald. “I think he has an incredible shot at winning if they just get out there and vote.”
The singer, who belted out “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” during her “American Idol” audition, slammed Coakley for striking a sour note in a new television ad that she said misrepresents her father on the issues.
The spot shows images of a distraught woman at the bottom of a stairwell as a voiceover details a legislative amendment filed by Brown that would have allowed some facilities to deny emergency contraception to rape victims.
“Her attack on my dad is completely inaccurate and misleading,” Brown said as she defended her doting dad. “I’m here today to say that Martha Coakley should take down her negative ad.”
Coakley’s campaign stood behind their ad but didn’t respond directly to the college hoopster’s sharp elbows.
“We take issue with the regressive legislation that Scott Brown sponsored. Today, he has continued to try to back away from it because of the devastating impact it would have had on women’s health. But he cannot run away from his record,” said Coakley spokesman Corey Welford in a statement.
Ayla broke her silence on the campaign trail in the last stretch of the heated battle to fill the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat. But Brown, standing next to her 19-year-old sister Arianna, said she wasn’t “dragged into the campaign.”
“We are very willing to play a part in my dad’s campaign,” Brown said.
Brown told the Herald Coakley’s inflammatory ad prompted her to speak out. “For our family, especially me being on ‘Idol’ but (also) my dad being in politics, there are always so many people who have something negative to say,” Brown said. “The minute it’s sponsored and the people really believe in false accusations, that’s where we had to draw the line.”

Poll shocker: Scott Brown surges ahead in Senate race
Boston Herald
Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.
Although Brown’s 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News survey’s margin of error, the underdog’s position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.

“It’s a Brown-out,” said Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center. “It’s a massive change in the political landscape.

The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.

While Brown has 91 percent of registered Republicans locked up, an astonishing 17 percent of Democrats report they’re jumping ship for Brown as well – likely a product of Coakley’s laser-focus on hard-core Dems, potentially at the exclusion of other Democrats whom she needed to win over, Paleologos said.

For Coakley, Brown’s surge may be as ominous as the fact that her campaign’s peril is not fully recognized, with 64 percent of voters still believing she’ll win – a perception that threatens to keep her supporters home.
Brown’s popularity is solid. He enjoys a 57 percent favorability rating compared to just 19 percent unfavorable. Coakley’s favorability is 49 percent; her unfavorability, 41 percent.
No longer does Brown suffer from a name-recognition problem, with 95 percent of voters having heard of him statewide.
