The thing that strikes me about this situation is that you have a career politician hack (Coakley) who has never really had to run a campaign and is probably of mediocre talent as a DA who is being beaten into the ground by a guy who has fought harder, scrappier and smarter with less money and no machine. It shows the hardening of the political arteries for many democrats in seemingly liberal safe areas, which might make for good conservative unknowns to think about running when they otherwise wouldn’t and couldn’t win. Think political Darwinism.
Now if we can just cut out the RINO sclerosis from the Republican body politic we can regain political health. The Hoffman/Brown double-bypass of the RNC shows that the Conservative bloodstream of America can stand a triple or quadruple bypass of all the moderate plaque and liberal calcification if the need, and the right prescriptions(Col. Alan West for example) arise. Paging Dr. Palin! Dr Palin, answer your page, please!
