6. What? Because she gave a nice concession speech? This
not a classy lady at all. She in fact is the exact opposite of classy.

13. Someone tombstone this troll please....
Even if you don't think she's a classy lady the fact that you had to add your 2 cents in bashing her shows your true colors. A quick DU search of your posts tells me you are anything BUT a Democrat. Moderators take care of this person before they go back to freeperville and brag about how long they lasted here as an undercover neocon.

15. I've been a Progressive since before you were born. The fact
that people like you have buried your head in the sand while the "classy" folks were burying Dems leads me to believe it is YOU who are the Freeper--not me! Nice Rovian trick.

5. What the hell was the hurry.Franken's took over 6mos to get a concession speech.
Dems just don't get it. Delay, obstruct etc would be what repubs would have done if Brown had lost. Stop being classy and kind to the "let's put a hot curling iron up her butt" crowd. Nazis just wanted what was best for their country too right? We are losing our democracy thanks to the ruthlessness & self serving corporate profiteers like Brown.

Watch how quickly the over 177 holds now expands to over 200 just to make Obama fail at the cost of our natiional interests. Fuck classy...at this point it is merely self serving and defeatist.

11. She took a dive
the game was fixed. I have no doubt that a professional politician like her would not make the mistakes she made, unless it's on purpose. She did everything in her power to avoid getting elected.

It's evident from what happened the last 12 months that there is no democratic party or republican party. there is 1 corporate crime syndicate that's in charge. get with the program sheeple, or move to the EU.

16. I've read others that think the same thing. Her actions seem
awfully overt to be anything less than planned.

12. Delaying tactics won't help and only will make things worse
I am not happy that Brown won Senator Kennedy's seat but I am honest enough to admit that Cloakley blew any chance to win the election. It is so frustrating to know that the Democratic Party (and democrats in general) are their own worst enemy. If there is any way to shoot themselves in the foot they will find it.

I am in the process of reading Game Change and when Obama was trying to decide whether or not to enter the race the polls kept showing the the people were hungry for change. Voters gave control of the White House, Senate and House to the Democratic Party and Democrats have squandered the opportunity handed to them. They clearly took the power away from the Republicans and the Democrats have given too munch of it back to them.

I think that George W. Bush is the worst president that this country has ever seen. But you do have to admit that if he decided he wanted to do something he did it and it got done. The Democrats are to much into kumbaya lets all get along. What a waste. Instead of listening to the people, the Democrats squandered precious time and the Republicans and Teabaggers have had time to regroup and the Democrats will have a battle on their hands. What mattered most was to produce the change the the people of this country hungered for not placate the Republican party.

If the Democrats fail to pass health care reform they have only themselves to blame.

7. Coakley
was a clssic case of a rich bitch that didn't care if she won or not. She's typical of the useless pieces of shit paraded out there just to run against the repuke machine "that is together". She went on vacation during the roughest part of the campaign for chrissakes. That's all Taxachusetts had to run against the repuke machine. C'mon.

10. She deserved to lose
Brown won the election because he wanted it more then Coakley and he ran a better campaign. Coakley just assumed that the seat would remain in the Democratic party. It is unbelievable that she went off on vacation when she should have been campaigning. The Democratic Party only has itself to blame for not have a come to jesus meeting with Coakley.

21. Stupid Move
No smart politician would go on vacation when he/she was entering the end lap of the race. Any momentum she had was lost and she came back to a whole different race. It was too late at that point.

17. Exactly. That, or she's a full-fledged mole. To go from as far
up as she was to where she ended up had to come from within--not without.

Edited on Thu Jan-21-10 12:20 AM by politicasista
She could have earned more brownie (no pun intended) points if she had mentioned the REAL people who campaigned for her hurt, sick, and tired while she went MIA and thought, "Ok, I need some votes, help me!"

Just sayin'.
