Martha Coakley Enters Massachusetts Governor’s Race

CATHERINE THOMPSON 6:46 AM EDT, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2013

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) launched her campaign for governor of the state on Monday.

A campaign source told the Boston Herald on Sunday that Coakley was expected to kick off her bid with a video on her website, followed by six campaign stops on Monday.

Coakley lost a special Senate election to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's (D) seat to former Sen. Scott Brown (R) in 2010. She is the most widely recognized candidate in a Democratic field that includes former Homeland Security advisor Juliette Kayyem. On the Republican side, only former gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker has announced a run for the governor's office.

She's the reason we don't have single-payer! Her lacklust no-effort Senate bid in 2010 cost us the Senate majority. Teddy is rolling in his grave!

Then you never heard it again. In the interview, the reporter just ignored what Carter had just said. As if he never said it. But I did hear it. So, was Kennedy really the healthcare guy???

Jimmy Carter is still around to ask. So is the interview for all to hear yourself. I don't have the time today, to continue to show all what continues as the status quo.
