THAT OLD OBAMA MAGIC IS BACK
January 20, 2010
Once again, the people have spoken, and this time they quoted what Dick Cheney said to Pat Leahy.
Less than two weeks ago, The New York Times said that so much as a "tighter-than-expected" victory for Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley would incite "soul-searching among Democrats nationally," which sent Times readers scurrying to their dictionaries to look up this strange new word, "soul."
A close win for Coakley, the Times said, would constitute "the first real barometer of whether problems facing the party" will affect the 2010 elections.
But when Coakley actually lost the election by an astounding 5 points, the Chicago boys in the White House decided it was the chick's fault.
Democratic candidate Martha Coakley may be a moral monster, but it's ridiculous to blame her for losing the election. She lost because of the Democrats' obsession with forcing national health care down the nation's throat.
Coakley campaigned exactly the way she should have.
As a Democrat running in a special election for a seat that had been held by a Democratic icon (and another moral monster) for the past 46 years in a state with only 12 percent registered Republicans, Coakley's objective was to have voters reading the paper on Friday, saying: "Hey, honey, did you know there was a special election four days ago? Yeah, apparently Coakley won, though it was a pretty low turnout."
Ideally, no one except members of government unions and Coakley's immediate family would have even been aware of the election.
And until Matt Drudge began covering it like a presidential election a week ago, it might have turned out that way.
Coakley had already won two statewide elections, while her Republican opponent, Scott Brown, had only won elections in his district. She had endorsements from the Kennedy family and the current appointed Democratic senator, Paul Kirk -- as well as endless glowing profiles in The Boston Globe.
And by the way, as of Jan. 1, Brown had spent $642,000 on the race, while Coakley had spent $2 million.
On Jan. 8, just 11 days before the election, The New York Times reported: "A Brown win remains improbable, given that Democrats outnumber Republicans by 3 to 1 in the state and that Ms. Coakley, the state's attorney general, has far more name recognition, money and organizational support."
It was in that article that the Times said a narrow Coakley win would be an augury for the entire Democratic Party. But now she's being hung out to dry so that Democrats don't have to face the possibility that Obama's left-wing policies are to blame.

The Democrats have no natural majority because they have no fundamental principles -- at least none that they are willing to state out loud. They are like a drunken vagrant who emerges from the alley to cause havoc every few years. They are the perpetual toothache of American politics.Read the rest at AnnCoulter.Com
Ann weighs in!
I agree with Ann- Coakley ran a bad campaign, but not a horridly terrible Kerry-ian one. She made a few missteps and said some dumb things, while Scott Brown ran a good campaign and said some good things. However, in the bluest of blue State, with a 3 to 1 registration advantage, Coakley still should’ve won if the Democrats and Obama weren’t such anti-American flagburning bedwetters.
And I'm STILL saying it!
Thanks, but that site doesn’t allow posting of their gifs.
Now that’s Creepy!

Where is my under the bus JPG
I have to laugh about Ann Coulter — and one other famous GOP-woman, Sarah Palin....
I think both are great and I love how Ann Coulter “gores” the liberals and how Sarah Palin talks plainly about conservative principles and what’s lacking in the liberals.
BUT, having said that, I can’t help chuckle about how it’s already developing here on Free Republic that there is a certain number of posters who are rejecting both Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin, because neither one meets up to their expectations... LOL...
I mean, if neither Ann Coulter or Sarah Palin meets up to the expectations of some FReepers — those FReepers are crazy, if they think they are going to get “any better” than those two...
With Ann Coulter, a bunch of FReepers turned against her because Ann Coulter basically said that the birth certificate issue was a dead issue and a waste of time. So, that killed it for a bunch of FReepers right there.
And now, I see that with Sarah Palin, we’ve got another bunch of FReepers who say that if Sarah Palin campaigns for John McCain (like she’s already said that she would) — then they are “finished with Sarah Palin” — while others said that they’re putting her “on probation”... LOL...
It sure is a humorous site we’ve got here at Free Republic... very interesting indeed...
Drudge has done a yeoman's job of getting out the truth about Obama to a large audience ever since hillary left the race. He really deserves a lot of credit for his work.

Well, she’s wrong about the birth certificate. But everyone’s entitled to be wrong once in a while.
Brown also won without help from the Republican national leadership, which may have actually been an advantage. Thank goodness the Tea Party supported Senator-Elect Scott Brown.
Ann is SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!
I’m convinced that we have a much subtler class of troll posters than ever before, designed to try to take advantage of RINO resentment to drive wedges and stifle momentum. Some of them have somehow managed to even get ahold of accounts here on FR with early membership dates.
Do you have the YouTube link for this?
