Not quite on topic, but I don't think I've seen a thread on this:

In MA, during the primary for the US Senate seat formerly occupied by Ted Kennedy, there were 5 Democrats seeking the nomination. A number of them had good qualifications and it was a tough primary. The Democrat who won was Martha Coakley. Everyone said that she had run a smart campaign and beaten some worthy foes. Now, the seat was hers -- all she had to do was defeat some upstart Republican named Scott Brown.

Well, the people in MA were tired of the Kennedy mystique, they were afraid of Obamacare, and they wanted some change. Scott Brown came on strong and Coakley lost the race.

The takeaway -- trumpeted by all of the leftist media outlets in MA -- was that Martha Coakley was a bad candidate. She ran a boring campaign. She wasn't popular, and she never really had a chance against a charismatic guy like Scott Brown.

So where are we today? Martha Coakley is seeking re-election at Attorney General for MA. Who is her Republican opponent??

Oh. Right. The GOP seems to be letting her run unopposed.

The GOP is very much the problem today.
