"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Maybe they are “being driven by their esteem for Kennedy’s memory” and are trying to make amends. Such a move would be most welcome.
Still, it is shocking to see that in the Fishwrap. Also, while health care was Kennedy’s pet, his support was based largely on the Kennedy cult-of-personality and his seniority in the Senate, not on the things he stood for. Why, he could get away with murder if he wanted to back in the day.
I don’t know what they are worried about, the machine will still be recounting and reinterpreting ballots when the next election rolls around.
Not true. His campaign exposed dissatisfaction across the political spectrum in one of the bluest states. If the tide is turning in Massachusetts, that's not a good sign for the Dems nationally.
At the Web sites of liberal newspapers across the country, reader comments are overwhelmingly in support of Brown. This is not just a local phenomenon.
Even people in blue Mass are sick of having crap shoved down their throats.
This is the beginning of a peaceful revolution.
Boy, you’ve got to be kidding....and the impostor is to be in Mass tomorrow and the globe writes an article like this...WOW...a complete left leaning newspaper and instead of blaming Coakley for the upcoming loss...they’ve blamed the impostor with his radical policies along with the dimwits in congress passing the radical policies...rightfully so...
"..Never had a new administration been greeted with such rapturous enthusiasm. “Obama’s standing above the country, above the world,’’ Newsweek editor Evan Thomas exulted. “He’s sort of God.’’.."
The article has good stuff and from the Boston Globe no less! Liberals can be obnoxious too.
“But ultimately the Massachusetts Senate campaign is not about Brown’s personal appeal or Coakley’s shortcomings on the stump. It is about something bigger. This race is a referendum on Barack Obama and the Democratic ascendancy in Washington.”
“A referendum on Barack Obama and the Democratic ascendancy...”
Of course this is Jeff Jacoby, maybe the only sane man on the Glober. But still...
Kennedy Legacy.
On the MLK, Jr Birthday rememberance.
It is more like the Citizens of Mass. shouting “FREE AT LAST...THANK GOD WE ARE FREE AT LAST”

How can this be happening? This is the bluest state of them all - a state without a single Republican in Congress or in statewide office, a state Barack Obama won in a landslide. How can the Senate race be too close to call?
"I told Kennedy that he should have suppored Hillary and not Obama.
Obama should be getting coffee for us..."
This is a great article. Very demoralizing for Dems. Maybe they won’t bother to vote.
Chokely is going to lose big and 0bambi's attempt to stroll in and save the day is another bonus as it will weaken him politically even more.
I just got up to Martha Coakley's campaign HQ to help her win Tuesday's crucial special election. I have to tell you -- this isn't like anything Massachusetts has ever seen.
It's happening right after the holidays, so a lot of people haven't even heard about it. Meanwhile, the same guys behind the Swift Boat ads are taking over the airwaves to distort Martha's record, and the same far-right tea-party crowd that's attacking President Obama is funding her opponent.
The stakes in this race are incredibly high. If we don't hold this seat, a right-wing Republican will hold Sen. Ted Kennedy's old seat until at least 2012 -- and we'll lose a crucial vote in the Senate for health reform and the agenda we fought so hard for last year.
That's why we're going all out in Massachusetts with a massive effort to lock up a Democratic victory. But we can only afford to keep this battle up against the far right through Election Day if folks like you chip in.
Please donate $5 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts.
Democratic ads are highlighting the key differences between Martha, a long-time public servant and one of the nation's best attorneys general, and her extreme Republican opponent who would walk in lockstep with Mitch McConnell and national GOP power brokers.
And our organizers are engaging volunteers by the thousands to make sure Obama voters make it back to the polls.
But we need your help to keep it going. Please donate $5 or more to the Democratic Party to support our work, including our efforts to elect Martha Coakley:
Let's win this,

No one has done the Damage Ted Kennedy Did to our country, The Kenyan is fast catching up though..
Now on the Up side he has been sober for 102 days!
I have just returned from a repellent foray through the sewers of DU. Yecch. But I bring good news.
Folks, it is meltdown central over there, with recriminations and accusations at least as bitter as we had here the morning after McCain lost to Obama. It is hilarious. Everyone from Bill Clinton to Howard Dean is throwing their own brand of gasoline on the fire. Only a tiny fraction of their posters think Coakley will win. They are throughly demoralized and disgusted.
Now is the time to kick them when they’re down. Even if you’ve already donated to Brown, go back and give him just a little bit more. Phone bank. Talk to your friends and relatives who live there. Link to him on Facebook and Twitter. Join the avalanche of pro-Brown sentiment in the comments at places like boston.com. But most of all, give him another $10 or $20 to drive the stake into the heart of that witch once and for all.
Victory is nigh, amigos. The momentum is ours. Brown hasn’t put a foot wrong and Coakley is absolutely useless (and this is something pretty much everyone at DU agrees on.) We can WIN this!
It will crush the spirit of Democrats across the country if our guy gets to fumigate the seat once fouled by that Kennedy vermin. It will kill health care meddling for another 20 years. It will kill cap-n-tax. It will kill card check. It will kill amnesty. It will kill Obama’s entire agenda and reduce him to lame duck status for the remaining three-quarters of his term. It will go a long way towards sweeping him out the door of the White House in 2012.
Please, even if you can’t afford it, even if you’ve donated three times already like me, even if you’ve never donated to a political candidate before, go right now to brownforussenate.com and give as much as you can spare. It may be the most effective money you ever parted with.
