At least not in western Mass. She never showed for candidates' debate in November on the Amherst campus, and when the public radio station offered every candidate an hour-long listener call-in, her campaign never even replied.<br /><br />She didn't deserve to win the nomination, but that fact that she won it without lifting a finger certainly didn't give her any sense of urgency. I have a right wing brother. I know how much the rabid right loathed Kennedy and wanted to win this thing. Could she really have been that clueless?<br /><br />At least John Stewart made me laugh about it.C.

Coa...I'm glad to read your perspective on this. Coakley ran a bad race, and now we have an even more broken congress. I found this <a href="http://tiny.cc/62vdr" rel="nofollow">interview</a> (Bill Moyers and Thomas Franks) pretty interesting. The Democrats simply don't own the political ideology anymore. They can't represent both Main Street AND Wall Street, and we know the choice they have made. Interestingly, though, they still lose on the old ideals. Oh well.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.com
