That's alot of undecideds for 10 days out, and I suspect a big chunk of them will come home to Martha on election day.

Like they did for Buono? 

Not really comparable. Christie was a popular incumbent governor with a 65% approval rating. The recent MassINC poll shows both Baker and Coakley are viewed favorably, but Baker moreso. And this also lays credence to the claim that other Dems wouldn't be doing better than Coakley at this point. She's not losing because of horrible favorability scores or something.

The undecideds actually did break for Buono, so that's perhaps not the best example you could have used.

Still, if Coakley's campaign is behind by 2 in their own internal poll they're pitching to the press, she's most definitely losing.

What the flying f**k. I've seen the Wyoming Democratic Party recruit better candidates.

Undecideds broke for Coakley in 2010 as well, but it didn't matter because Brown was already over 50.

I don't think Coakley has had one local newspaper endorsement in Mass. yet. Baker has The Lowell Sun, The Patriot Ledger, The Boston Herald, and The Standard-Times, all liberal papers except for the Herald. Coakley probably has the Boston Globe endorsement though, I highly doubt they would ever endorse a Republican...

I really hope that Martha can shut these haters down.
You do realize that there are quite a few independents and democrats on this board (and clearly in MA too) that would love to see Baker beat her, right?

I'm aware of that. It would just be nice to see Coakley win.
Why? What do you like about her other than that she has a "D" next to her name, politically?

Republican Governors don't exactly have a great track record these days. More Christie-Walker-McDonnell types should not be elected. Plus, if Coakley wins, it would be fun to see what some people's reactions would be.
So...you only vote for Democrats and Democrats only? Not even a Green every once in a blue moon?

I'm pretty sure that few Democrats nationwide will shed any tears for Coakley. Let's just hope that's the last we hear from this loser.

Well Coakley, it's been a trip, but I think you know it's time for you to do the honorable thing:



Perhaps Bruce Braley or Mark Udall can assist you as your second.
