Hope Coakley kicks butt. Has anyone ever seen her debate?

[jefferson_dem]

3. I saw a brief clip the other day. Solid peformance.

You can bet she will attack, attack, and attack. It will be fun watching Brown pretend he's not a Repug.

[Kdillard]

4. Thanks.

[Kdillard]

1. whoops double post.

[Forkboy]

2. Excellent. Thank you.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Things are heating up here in MA.

This is going to ba an interesting week.

[jenmito]

6. Kick-it's starting!

[rwheeler31]

7. Odd format where are the local reporters?

[Clio the Leo]

8. Stumblin! Bumblin! Fumblin! ............ is Mr. Brown......

.... "um uh uh" ..... and lots of improper verb tenses. ..... I dont like my fellow southern rednecks not conjugating their verbs properly but there is NO excuse for a New Englander to do the same. :)

[jenmito]

10. He reminds me of Romney.

He's so stiff and phony.

[Clio the Leo]

11. He reminds me of every southern member of Congress....

.... I swear if it wasn't for the accent, I'd think he was from up the road.

[jenmito]

13. He just said, "We need another JFK-like tax cut..."

Here he goes again trying to be the Kennedy heir. :eyes:

[jenmito]

9. I wish there weren't a Kennedy running. There may be voters who don't know any better and may just

cast their vote for the Kennedy name, not knowing he's a Libertarian with no connection to THE Kennedys.

[Clio the Leo]

12. It would also help if the Kennedy in question wasn't doing such a good job....

.... if it weren't for the political implications, I'd like to see Martha and Joe in this race/debate alone with out the Republican. It would make for a good debate.

[jenmito]

17. Yeah, but he's like Ron Paul. He wants to make cuts in the Dept. of Education for one.

And he's against spending money on wars, like Ron Paul, too. But I don't think that's realistic at this time.

[Clio the Leo]

19. But he comes off 10 times more intelligent than Paul. NT

[Mass]

21. In this case, good he is not the candidate of the party, because he is the candidate of the teabag

party

[Arkana]

28. I thought Brown was the teabagger candidate.

Kennedy supports leaving Afghanistan and Iraq.

[Clio the Leo]

33. My teabagger "friend" is certainly supporting Brown....

.... vocally and monetarily.

[Mass]

34. Different groups.

[Clio the Leo]

37. Here's a thread at Tea Party Nation....

... of them talking about Brown moving too far left. :)

(I dont think you can see this unless you've registered but I may be wrong)

[jenmito]

14. "As JFK called for..." Brown keeps citing JFK. n/t

[Clio the Leo]

15. lol Brown: "If you think a tax cut wont work, you are SADLY mistaken!"

..... lol that was VERY profound sir. What a zinger! :eyes:

[Mass]

16. Hopefully, somebody asks him on his views on social issues.

The Herald endorsement says he is a social moderate. They've got to be kidding.

[Clio the Leo]

18. ... and gives him the time to figure out what they are. :-) NT

[Mass]

20. They may quote his interview on Hannity, where he stated clearly he was NO a social moderate, for a

start.

[Kdillard]

22. Hmm Martha is holding her own but Browwn is doing okay as well imo.

[Arkana]

23. No. He's blatantly peddling fear and anyone should be able to see that.

Christ, he keeps going "I'm SCARED! I'm SCARED! You all should be SCARED!!!!"

[Kdillard]

24. Well I hope so but you never know.

[Arkana]

25. We're fairly smart up here in Massachusetts. Have faith.

[Mass]

26. I've heard him a few times and found him particularly inarticulate and shallow.

I cant watch the debate, but why do I get the feeling that he will be able to get through this debate without any questions about his core values that are so much at odds with this state .

[Arkana]

27. Martha just zinged him pretty good with the abortion question.

He had to back off of the anti-choice position a bit--that's not going to make his backers happy.

[jenmito]

30. Yup. "I'm not in your courtroom." She was really going after him and he was

answering like Romney-flippin' and floppin' trying to make himself acceptable to all.

[Clio the Leo]

35. "Inarticulate" isn't too far off tonight.

.... he's no master of the English language, that's for sure.

[jenmito]

29. Brown was endorsed by the NRL organization and he wiggled his way out of it saying he'd accept

ALL endorsements-he said he has a "big tent." :rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

31. and he supports a woman's right to a "treatment"....

... the right's ability to pick and choose when they support or dont support abortion makes me ill.

[jenmito]

32. He just said he supports Roe v. Wade. I bet the anti-choicers won't like that.

He is really slip-sliding all around his answers on this subject.

[Mass]

36. Really. Talk about flip-flopping. He is known as a prolifer in the state.

[Clio the Leo]

38. Dont change the channel!

.... Stupak's town hall up next!
