Hey, if you live in Massachusetts, the polls are open. Do me a favor and go cast a vote for Martha Coakley before the polls close. You’ll be glad you did.
How is everyone this morning?

I’m trying to find all of those female US Senators who posed nude in their past lives.
What, no Kay Bailey Hutchinson ‘Girls Gone Wild’ layouts out there?
If he was a she, she’d be fired from her anchor desk or lose her crown.
Nervous about the race, sitting in aerospace structures, and watching my stocks intently.
I wanna make some calls for Coakley in between classes.
I was talking to a friend in boston last night, and he’s not sure who’s gonna pull it out. he said he preferred capuano, and thinks Coakley ran a stinker of a campaign.
he also said this: “if the democrats had done what they said they were going to do, this wouldn’t be an issue.” that reminded me of krugman’s piece, in which he claimed the Obama administration went small on the stimulus, small on health care, and small on banking reform.
frankly, i find it difficult (not impossible) to get exercised over this: it’s not like the democrats accomplished much with 60 votes anyway.
and yeah, i know the republicans have been complete obstructionists. get over it: they said they were going to do that from day one, and the democrats, for whatever reason, didn’t believe it. So maybe this will be a teachable moment, but i doubt it. besides, now the democrats can get back to what they do best anyway: blaming the republicans for blocking the legislation they claim to want to pass.
There are teachable moments for Democrats?
One can only hope.
oh no, not THAT word again. the first time I bought Hope, i got NAFTA and welfare reform. the second time I got bank-coddling and a bipartisan fetish.
hope without action is nothing.
I kind of agree with you. What did the 60 votes get us? And how did we get where we are right now? I am so disgusted with the whole thing. The same liberal left that the WH has been going after is now asked to GOTV and vote. It makes me sick to think TK’s seat will end up killing HC. That’s the only reason I spent a couple of hours phonebanking yesterday.
Quick question – where was Tim Kaine and the DNC when this candidate took a vacation and chose not to campaign?
And bring back Howard Dean. Except Rahm hates his guts. Dump Rahm too.
I second that.
I third that.
But I’ll be glad to vote for Coakley anyway. We have early voting here with Sequoia machines, so who knows? Maybe Daley has them rigged to upload votes in Massachusetts. This is Cook County so anything is possible. I’m actually betting that the machines will give Stroger a victory.
I hate to point out the obvious, but if 60 votes didn’t get us much, 59 votes is going to get us a hell of a lot less.

In the debate last week, Brown said he’s “scared” of Coakley’s anti-terror policies.
What scares me is a much more likely scenario than a Back Bay suicide bomber: an old age spent paying 75 percent of my Social Security and 401(k) toward medicine because in 2010 – when we had the best chance ever – we got tricked, again, into ditching health-care reform.
What scares me is what’s happening already: We’re a country unable to solve our most difficult problems. Look at history – this is how great nations fail. I’d prefer to remain No. 1 in the world, not some pathetic second sister to China.
I look at my paycheck. Every year more dollars go to the health-insurance company. The one time in 20 years my family really needed something in that insurance leeway area, the “denied” letter came immediately in the mail.
concern, the work goes on, the cause endures,
the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.”
His last vate was for health care!"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
