re: #109 Obdicut

The voters didn’t want Coakely, so why did you give them Coakely?

I’m still trying to make sense of that poll but this stands out to me…..

the firm discovered that 18 percent of Obama backers who voted in the Senate race ended up casting ballots for Brown. Of that group:

* 82 percent said they favored a public option for insurance coverage, with 14 percent opposed to the public option

So this wasn’t a referendum on healthcare reform. They disliked coakley so much they voted against her even though they support reform.
