Nobody can convince me this would happen w/ Dean running the DNC. Now that's Obama's fault

[LeftyAndProud60]

If he hopes to do anything in the future Rahm and TIm Kaine need to get the boot. I really hope Obama smartens up after tonight. This is just sickening. The joy of these crazy bastard's faces. I need a drink

1. I hope Obama doesnt go more Right -- Rahm has brainwashed him so much

i dont think he will read this loss correctly and might actually go even more right than he is now. Geez, we need a democrat in the office! Maybe in 2012?

[FrenchieCat]

2. So you are gonna argue some more......

and target more Democrats.

When will you learn?

[frazzled]

3. Well, I bet it's true nobody could convince you

That doesn't make you right.

I know you'd like to blame it on the convenient goats of Rahm and Tim Kaine. But it remains the Democratic primary voters of MA, the general election voters of MA, and the really bad campaigner Martha Coakley who are to blame here.

Why don't you slam Bob Menendez, head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee? I'll tell you why: because you have a preconceived notion, a bias, that makes you blind to reality. It's convenient to blame someone, and think your hero Howard Dean could have prevented this, but the situation is far more complicated.

Most of it boils down to Massachusetts politics, pure and simple.

4. dean did warn democrats

no one listened. i am going to cry all night.

5. Ms. Coakley rejected the advice offered to her & that makes her responsible for her loss.

fun info ...

Coakley warned of Independents in December.

In fact Coakley was such a supporter of “the candidate” that just 3 weeks later, as an official delegate representing the State of Massachusetts at the Democratic National Convention, she voted for HILLARY CLINTON even after Clinton had formally released all of her delegates to vote for Obama!

So here we have Martha Coakley, who less than 18 months ago could not see her way to shelling out a measly $1000 in a gesture of party unity (and on Obama’s birthday no less), now hoping beyond hope for Obama to save her campaign this weekend. Then you have Obama, who is forced to put aside Coakley’s petty back-stabbing and campaign for her this weekend, only to risk even further emasculation of his political clout on the very real possibility that Coakley loses to Scott Brown on Tuesday. All because the centerpiece of his legislative agenda for all of 2009 – ObamaCare – is on the verge of going down in flames.
