Fortunately for Coakley, and unfortunately for the USA, there is no shortage of clueless or outright malevolent people in the People’s Democratic Republic of Massachusetts.
There are a bunch of liberals in MA who are starting to wake up. If you read the comments at the Boston Globe website (the Globe is a very liberal rag owned by the NYT) you’ll see that the people of MA are angry at the arrogance of their elected officials. You’ll even see some anti-Kennedy comments there too. Gasp!
