Pathetic.
Hopefulling they don’t make the mistake of having “old Ted” vote in this election.
They don’t have the Democrat machine in place because they never have had to have it in Massachusetts.
FROM THE ARTICLE:
I think we overestimated the state’s Democraticness and underestimated the national mood,” one senior Democratic strategist said Friday. “We thought that the state’s deep blue voting pattern would help us withstand national trends.”
Coakley was rarely in position to detect the growing anger Brown would channel. Her strategy called for cultivating the local Democratic leaders who could be relied on to turn out enough of the faithful to win a special election, traditionally a low-turnout affair.
“I didn’t think relying on the governor and the mayor and this whole trickle-down voting was going to work,” said Sandy Fleishman, 69, a campaign volunteer at the Clinton rally. “I’m part of the old-fashioned politics. To a lot of people who don’t follow the issues, you shake their hand, you’ve got their vote.”
Again, who's seat?
I think it is Mary Jo Kopechne’s seat!
I’m sure that Ted Kennedy, RFK, JFK, JFK jr., and every Kennedy going back several generations will be voting for Coakley.
The Democrats always get 100% of the Deceased-American vote...
Wow. Two writers needed to tell us how bad Coakley is as a candidate?
The worst evah!
I think that if shook Coakley's hand I'd feel the need to take a shower...
There are reports Saturday morning that Senate Dems, lacking Coakley’s vote will move to use “reconcilation” to pass health care.
The media reporting this, seem to think this is just fine. When the GOP considered the same move to overcome Dem opposition in the Senate for Bush court appointees the msm called this “the nuclear option”.
Guess it depends who is doing it.
I've seen people shoot themselves in the foot before, but never reload so fast.
Is there any doubt as to the priorities of these scum?
I pray every day for the people of this country's eyes to be opened.
And they mention how broke Brown is a paragraph later.
They quote Brown about 9 paragraphs later.
And they mention Brown's cash surge three paragraphs from the end of the article.
NO BIAS THERE, you freakin scumbags.
Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat is about to become Scott Brown's new Senate seat.
If President Bush had taken leave from promoting Haiti relief to campaign for Scott Brown, how do you think the MSM would react?

Not to worry; a thread last night told us that SEIU — The Purple People Beaters — is busing in 300 “volunteers”. Look for some Chicago style beat downs and intimidation to suppress the R voters.
“I came here to tell the people of Massachusetts this: This country’s revolution was born in Massachusetts. The Revolutionary War was first won here. The war was over here years before it was finally finished. It started with the Boston Tea Party, and the right wing Republicans have appropriated that on the premise the tea party was against government.”
Clinton added, “What they were against was abuse of power.”
He sought to frame the race as a battle between those who will fight for the powerful and those who will fight for the powerless.

They’re making so much noise up there in Mass., that they’re liable to wake the dead. Oops, that’s just what they want to do.
