Martha Coakley won't make it into the Senate. Her incompetent and obtuse campaign revealed she is the Massachusetts Hindenburg. She neither understood politics or how to make a case to the voters. She crashed and burned spectacularly. They'll be teaching about her in schools as an object lesson in how not to run a campaign.

I totally agree but I think this is also ObamaCare and the dirty secret is a loathing of Obama by a LOT of voters. It is a secret because no one wants to be called the R word.

[freespirited]

She ought to be disbarred.

It wasn’t the Hindenburg or the Titanic. It was the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic.

Lovely metaphor. But it's not all Coakley, either. People hate ObamaCare and are starting to dislike the politically tin-eared Obumbler, too.

>>Coakley will never recover from the self-inflicted damage of the worst political campaign in recent history. <<

As much as I would like to agree, that award is a tie between hilary clinton and John McCain.

This wasn’t the worst — just bad enough.

It wasn’t the Hindenburg or the Titanic. It was the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic.

That's gonna leave a mark.

"It wasn’t the Hindenburg or the Titanic. It was the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic."

A great Photoshopping opportunity presents itself. Here's a comparative photo of the Hindenburg and the Titanic.



And here's one of the Hindenburg crashing.

So I take it this article is designed to blame a Coakley defeat on the candidate instead of the voter's disdain for Obama's ideology and accompanying health care (only 36 percent approval in Mass.)

As if the state's voters are too stupid to understand the ramifications of a Dem loss.

[Jabba the Nutt]

"Win or lose, she will forever be Martha the Blind..."

This is more appropriate than the author probably intended. My wife asked me what kind of name Coakley was, so I looked it up at last-names.net. Here's what they say:

coakley Name Meaning and History

Irish (Cork): Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Caochlaoich, patronymic from Caochlaoch, a personal name composed of the elements caoch ‘blind’ + laoch ‘warrior’, ‘hero’.

Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4

The Blind. Indeed.

[Candor7]

Its not just Martha’s incomeptance only. Massachusetts does not want the Obama Health Care Bill passed.

This artucle is a spin to throw Coakley under the bus and ignore the elephant in the room.

Well stupid Michael Gtaham, write the other half of the article and talk about the inopmpetant stupidity of Obama.Then you do us the considerable favor of finally giving us the full picture. Or perhaps you only have the balls of a liberal to kick a liberal female colleague when she is down, without talking on the still-standing-for-now head rauncho himself, Barak Insane Obama.He is the true creator of this “Republican Victory.” Few admit it. They are too afraid of Obama and the left.

Or, stated another way: she could always serve as a pis* poor example.
