re: #75 CapeCoddah

Coakley refused to prosecute the rapist because his father was a union big shot who was a Coakley supporter.

CC, I’ve seen newslinks about the refusal to prosecute, but I haven’t seen documentation of the political connection. (I’ve seen talking-head hearsay, of course.) If you’r not too busy, do you perchance have a newslink?

Speaking of talking heads, I heard a bunch of them while driving a few weeks ago. They were obviously looking for pretexts, transparently veiled, to jail Bush & Cheney for torture. Who are these, ah, people, I wondered. Turned out they were the candidates for the Democrat Senate nomination.

Iirc, I thought that the guy who turned out to be You’re-Screwed Capuano sounded more reasonable. IMHO he would have held the seat had he won the primary. Not the first time that either political party refused to nominate somebody because (sic) they’d win the election.

I’m not counting on Brown to win: this is a very blue state.

Brown’s contribution page has an option for monthly donations. I suspect he ran just to get name recognition in preparation for a run against Deval Patrick in November. Perhaps similar to the current occupant of the Oval Office.
