Bill Clinton to stump for Coakley in Mass. Senate race

By USA TODAY's Congress Team

With polls tightening in the special election for Edward Kennedy's former Senate seat in Massachusetts, former president Bill Clinton says he will campaign for Democratic nominee Martha Coakley. Clinton will be in Massachusetts with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on Friday in Boston.

The Boston Globe reported today that Coakley is up by 15 percentage points, a comfortable lead, over Republican Scott Brown. But the Public Policy Poll had the race in a virtual dead heat, 48%-47%.

Rasmussen Reports had Coakley up by 9% in a poll that we wrote about last week.

The election is next Tuesday, Jan. 19. The Democrats need a victory -- big or small -- in this reliably blue state in order to keep President Obama's health care bill on track.  [snip]
