For Massachusetts Democrats scrambling to reverse the momentum of Republican Scott Brown in the U.S. senate race, mission one is to motivate the faithful.

"Teddy always told me when you're in a fight, there's nobody like organized labor," Vicki Kennedy said Saturday morning at the Dorchester headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, where state Attorney General Martha Coakley kicked off a swing across the state. "You're about the future. You're about moving this country forward. You always have been.

"We can't go backwards now," she said.

The assembled union workers cheered the widow of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, whose August death opened the seat he had occupied for 47 years. But in the home stretch of a shockingly close race that could deprive the Democrats of the crucial 60th Senate vote, loyalties were in question.

"Teddy always told me when you're in a fight, there's nobody like organized labor,"

Hard to argue with that. You can do a lot with corrupt morals, other peoples money, and a willingness to use the "persuasion of power".

"Teddy always told me when you're in a fight, there's nobody like organized labor," Vicki Kennedy said

She said a mouthful.

You know they are really desperate. They'll gum up a hit piece tomorrow or Monday and keep trying to throw mud in the last 48 hours to see if any of it sticks. They don't have a positive reason to get Coakley elected to the Senate.

“We’ll never know just how close we came to having the Senator installed for only seven years instead of 46. I can’t imagine, nor do I want to, what condition Massachusetts, our country and, indeed, even the entire world would be in had that come to pass.”

"It's the, uh, stuff that dreams are made of."

It is shockingly close. The shock is that Americans have become dumbed down enough that our freedom is now dependent upon this election. (Which you can help by clicking here ).

"He didn't have the decency to stand in front of the working people of this commonwealth and express himself," Haynes said.

He's been doing that for weeks. What he didn't have the "decency" to do was kiss your ring and pretend that thuggery has anything to do with work. He's also getting the votes of many of your members, even the one's your paying hold Coakly signs.

your = you’re

"Obviously Martha Coakley's the candidate," said Nina Cassel, 42, an unemployed retail worker in the audience. "But I'd be here for whoever they put in front of me."

Which pretty much sums up the depth of political thought in Massachusetts the last 40 years.

“You're about the future. You're about moving this country forward......” forward into rolling blackouts as in Venezuela and forward into mass deaths as in Cuban mental hospitals. Forward they'll march into failed socialism.

Thanks, Vickie, but Teddy's gone and the people in Massachusetts are free once again. If Brown loses, it will be because of fraud and corruption at the polls, not because the majority didn't vote for him. After all, that's the Kennedy way.

Frankly, I am amazed that they haven’t unearthed the swimmer and propped him up with a hopenchange sign...

“The invited audience prepared to obey.”

That pretty much says it all. Mindless union drones.
