Reply #27: If Martha Coakley had campaigned like she meant it from day one, [View All]

we wouldn't be having this conversation, because she'd be the Senator-elect.

The fact is that the voters agreed with her on the issues, so it was not an issue of Massachusetts swinging further to the right. It was a matter of her not even acting like she wanted people's votes. It was a matter of her not selling herself to voters. It was a matter of her sitting on a 30 point lead while her opponent actually campaigned.

You obviously don't live in Massachusetts or you'd get just how bad she was at this campaigning thing. This wasn't Obama's or the DNC's fault. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of her lawyer-turned-campaign-manager friends who told her it was perfectly OK to go on vacation for three weeks in a race with no daily tracking polls.
