RIP Coakley, FF.

Hopefully Democrats never try to run a woman here again.

All Hail Baker!

The only reason MA could elect a Republican is if the voters are sexist against the Democrat?  Even though MA has routinely elected Republicans in the past?  Get a life...

Seriously what the hell is wrong with you? Just because someone doesn't want to vote for a female candidate doesn't make them sexist. By the same logic, anyone who didn't vote for Romney in 2012 is an anti-white racist.

The Boston machine took forever to back Warren, and sat out instead of backing Coakley in 2010 (and if wormyguy is right, 2014 as well). That seems like an awfully strange coincidence to me. Maybe not the state as a whole, but the old boys club in Boston certainly seems to have a streak of sexism.

Anyway, this actually wasn't as bad as I thought. It's Baker's race to lose, but Coakley isn't sunk yet.

Coakley is a dreadful human being, so why care?

She was a trainwreck in last night's debate, she was a mess.

lol. What happened?

[Roemerista]

Well, the train wreck continued...in the debate last night when asked if she would raise fees:
 

Coakely: I don't know, would you raise fees?
Baker: No.
Coakley: Then I won't either.

Sounds about as bad as Romney's habit of starting his rebuttals of Obama with "I agree with the President..." That sends a bad message.

Including Hillary?

It really was a nauseating debate in general. Everyone involved (including moderators) performed poorly.  Coakley stood out as the worst of the bunch though, with her constant attempts at jokes (most awkward of them was randomly screaming Jimmy Garropolo during one of Baker's answers, but of codes Baker egged it on by giving her a high-five, I thought he was goin to ask her out for a drink), and of course Coakley blantaly lying about her support of higher taxes, and Baker didn't call her out on it.
