MA: Emerson College: Coakley heading for defeat

[SWE]

ITT blaming Coakley for not winning a race any Democrat would be an underdog in

[Keystone Phil]

Did you see the competition? Nobody and I mean nobody takes Santorum seriously, especially here.

And your whole life, you must have thought to your sad self, "Santorum and I have absolutely nothing in common!" Go figure!

IceSpear is exactly right. Coakley has been running a good campaign this year. The fundamentals favor Baker because he's also running a good campaign. The only Dem to be elected governor since 1986 was able to succeed because he summoned into being a massive power base outside of the Dem hierarchy. You pretty much need to do that to succeed against a party all too happy to work with a reasonable Republican, especially against a woman.

I'd say Baker has run a much stronger campaign (which is why he's winning), particularly in comparison to his failed 2010 run.

Coakley should never be allowed to run for Office again.

I'm so disgusted with her.
