No doubt but you better believe there are other dem members up for re-election this year that aren't fortunate to live in such a blue state as MA and they are paying close attention. If this is even close, we may still be able to kill this bill with members quaking in their boots right now at the thought of losing what should have been pretty safe seats.
Let them try to blame Coakley exclusively. It won’t wash with any Democratic member of the House or Senate. Politicians, for the most part, are singularly self-absorbed persons.
