The panel was perfect as it stood last night. Shania kept it upbeat..that's the gift she brings to the show. There was great cemistry going on.

I do not remember Brown's daughter on board, however.

“C(r)oakley was a poor politician. She ran a lousy campaign. She didn’t lose by all that much.”

I don’t think she was ridiculously lousy. She was killed by Obamacare and all the sleaze around it and now they will blame her for everything. She can probably sympathize with the PUMAs now.

I’m not the only person who didn’t see it. One other person who did see it stated it was here but not prominently. It’s not all that important even if it was.

Coakley is the A. G. for the state. That’s an elected office. If this issue were universally thought to be as big as you think it was, she couldn’t have been elected to the office.

Don’t try to make the case this issue prevented her from being elected to office if it didn’t prevent it the last time.

This was the result of a number of issues coming together at one time, not the least of which was Obama & hearth care.

Did the issue you address play a part? I believe so.

The problem for me is that the left has spent all day saying this had nothing to do with Obama or heath care. I don’t want to aid that effort.

I followed the case through Dorothy Rabinowitz's excellent columns in the WSJ. It was an outrageous injustice.

Still, you can't blame that case for the loss because the facts have been known for years, including when she had that 30 point lead.

Barry put his personal prestige on the line and reinforced that this election was a referendum on his agenda.

I'm talking about the sheer incapacity of leftists to use reason and logic in their thinking. Example:

Guns kill. Because guns kill, all guns must be taken from the hands of the people, because they kill the people don't need them.

A rational grown-up mind says, yes guns kill. They were meant to do so. They are used for hunting, protection, target shooting, et cetera. People should be able to have guns, and should be punished when they are misused ro when using guns to commit crimes.

Pretty simple huh? But in a leftist mind, they cannot really grasp why people would want a gun. They kill therefore they are bad, no one should be able to own one. Incapable of making rational thought beyond their feelings.

I get a real kick out of states that have to threaten their citizen because they won’t comply with onerous taxation.

I enjoyed your comments.

I found myself wishing Shania would join the show. I agree with you. That was a great panel.

another powder-keg issue lurked behind the headlines: They're right -- I can't believe this truth got buried during the campaign. I can't believe FReepers weren't all over it.

The Fells Acres case had a wicked stench to it from the beginning.

I didn't know it had this witch's wicked fingerprints on it.

Damn them.

Thanks for your impressions. I appreciate it. You know, Barry risks too much. That Olympic fiasco and this, he stands to loose too much by involving himself in some matters.

As much as I dislike the guy, when he acts the dufus on the international stage, it hurts our nation. Of course it may prevent detrimental agreements too.

Denial thy name is Ifeminist......I'm talking about the sheer incapacity of leftists to use reason and logic in their thinking

Ifeminists are not leftists, they are libertarians who believe a woman does not need either the sisterhood or the patriarchy to run her life.

And they were speaking against the ritual abuse craze back when the SoCons were in bed with the hairy armpit femiNazis against them "Satanists".

Agreed. Our enemies don't fear him and our friends think he's a moron.
