re: #140 Bagua
The point being that it is a close race in a state where the Democrats have dominance. Even with a hideous campaign, a Democrat should win by a large majority.
And the correlating point is… the GOP will still have lost.
I’m not picking on you; it’s just that this “heads I win, tails you lose” thing doesn’t make any sense. Whether Coakley wins by .5 or 20, it’s still a win. Ugly, scary, indicative of a-thousand-and-one-things, sure - but it wouldn’t be a loss.
