Hari Sevugan, the DNC's national press secretary, confirms he's headed to Boston to help with Martha Coakley's effort, a move that underscores how focused the party is on the race. Sevugan's campaign and party role has been on offense, and I'd expect him to amp up the volume and intensity of attacks on Republican Scott Brown.
"While we think the Globe poll arrests the Beltway storyline over the past few days and is a sign that campaign is very well positioned, this should be read as that Democrats aren't taking anything for granted," said a party official.
UPDATE: A relevant GOP strategist spins back: "Interesting spin by the Democrats, but this is a clear sign of just how worried they are about this race. When you consider the political demographics of Massachusetts, the reality is that this race should not even be close. The fact that it is however, reflects how damaged the Democrat brand has become among independents in recent months, even in a dark blue state like Massachusetts."
