Michelle Obama backs (Martha) Coakley at Dorchester stop
Source: Boston Globe
Locked in a neck-and-neck contest for governor of Massachusetts, Attorney General Martha Coakley got some high-powered help Friday from first lady Michelle Obama, who wooed supporters and urged them to remain tightly focused on the campaign.
Addressing a packed crowd at the Strand Theatre in Dorchester, Obama hailed Coakley as a “tireless advocate’’ for victims of violence, contraception coverage, a higher minimum wage, and earned sick time for working families.
“She believes that no one should ever have to choose between keeping their jobs and taking care of their sick child,’’ Obama said. “If you want a governor who will stand up to powerful interests, if you want a governor who is truly on your side, then you need to elect Martha.”
With polls showing a close contest in the final weeks of the campaign, Coakley -- paired with lieutenant governor candidate Steve Kerrigan on the Democratic ticket -- is hoping to persuade her true believers that a big turnout at the polls is pivotal.

We need her endorsement for Coakley! We need to get out in mass to VOTE2014!
SO, you're goona vote for the other guy whose policies are wrongheaded just because you can't see yourself getting over her lackluster campaign from the past?
I wish you'd reconsider.
Seriously.
