Massachusetts Senate Race

[12thMan]

If you're a democrat, this is a potential disaster on so many level. Martha Coakley, just like Creigh Deeds who lost in Virginia, is just a horrible candidate. She campaigned poorly, lazily (if that's a word), and had no passion. From what I understand she's a good woman, but her campaign has been run arrogantly and out of touch.

In terms of where healthcare now stands, it seems like the Dems and the White House are contingent planning in the event Coakley loses and pass the Senate version, without it going to the House, and get it to the president's desk for his signature.

This is just ugly. I'm so ready for this shit to be over. On a separate, but somewhat related note, Mitt Romney has been awfully quiet throughout this entire debate. And if the Republicans are hanging their fortunes on him in 2012, this is just a taste of the backlash he could face seeing he was governor when healthcare passed in Mass.
