re: #263 iceweasel

Coakley ran a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad campaign. And was not a good candidate to begin with.

Keep in mind that Massachusetts is populated by Democrat party faithful who would vote for the hobo sleeping under the King Street overpass if he had a (D) next to his name. There is no doubt that Coakley ran a gaffe-licous campaign that made even Brown supporters cringe at the time, but I think that party faithful is just about the only thing that prevented it from being a double-digit loss for Coakley in the land of Kennedy (and Norman Rockwell and Doug Flutie and the guy who wrote Spencer For Hire and Whitey Bulger…)
