Bielat vs Frank: What Happened This Weekend

Deb Becker from WBUR was with both campaigns this weekend and claims that the turn-out and tone of the rallies were completely different. Here's her take on Bielat's rally:

The largest draw was a Saturday morning rally in Foxborough where hundreds of people gathered to show support for the GOP ticket. It felt more like a concert than a political rally with Sen. Scott Brown the headliner, wearing his trademark barn jacket and trying to stoke the same anti-establishment spirit that propelled him to victory just 10 months ago. Bielat told the crowd that supporting him Tuesday is a vote for a traditional values.


Now her take on Frank's big shindig:

Much different, much quieter. Frank also campaigned with some high-profile Democrats. On Sunday, he addressed about 60 people at an apartment complex in Dartmouth where he appeared with Vicki Kennedy, the widow of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.


Hmmm. A rock concert vs a quiet gathering.... I think Bielat will take it, regardless of all these polls that suggest Franks is 13 points ahead.
