Does Red Sox President Larry Lucchino regret his $2,000 to Martha Coakley
Washington Examiner ^ | 01/22/10 9:08 PM EST | Timothy Carney

Reviewing the late donations to Martha Coakley's campaign -- the checks that came in as she collapsed -- I note the same drug company PACs and Washington lobbyists, but I also note that Larry Lucchino, president and part owner of the Red Sox, cut a $2,000 check to Coakley's campaign on January 13.

She probably would have benefited more if he had given her a lesson in recent Sox history -- namely, that Curt Schilling is not a Yankees fan. Also, Sox chairman Tom Werner gave Coakley $2,000 on January 14.

Her Schilling diss was on the 15th.

Some other late Coakley donors:

* Barbra Streisand, $1,000 * Eli Lilly PAC, $5.000 * Ambassador Susan Rice, $1,000 * Blue Shield of California PAC, $5,000 * James Brooks, founder of Gracie films, $2,400 * David Geffen, $2,400 * Dee Dee Myers, $1,000 * Boeing PAC, $1,000 * Don & Sharon Henley, $9,600 * Procter & Gamble PAC, $2,000

Ya think baseball is what made the difference between Coakley and Brown?

The malady that infects this area is demonstrably symptomatic..... by the fervor for that rotten team the Red Flops.

Last September, Curt Schilling expressed an interest in running for the seat himself.
