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.

Coakley made like a quarter the campaign stops, alienated Catholics, and was just all-around an unlikeable scold. Brown has run a great campaign, has good machinery, understands the internet, and even has a lot of people here thinking he’s a social moderate when he obviously is not. States can flip! it’s not that unheard of. When you have a bad candidate, all bets are off.

If Coakley ran a good, or even a mediocre campaign, I’d agree with you. But her campaign was almost a self-sabotage.
