Coakley has the job she really wanted, AG. She never wanted to run for the Senate seat to begin with

[CK_John]

this is the problem with losers and conflict avoiders. They act like doormats. Then are non assertive and try to please everyone and one really knows where they stand.

When is she up for reelection.

[treestar]

6. that might have worked

[Mass]

7. She did not want the seat.I think this much is clear.\nt

[Peacetrain]

3. Why did she run then?

[elocs]

4. That is the view I had of Kerry when he ran for president, he didn't really have his heart in it /nt

[treestar]

5. I agree she did not want it much

On the other hand, she's not a doormat and conflict avoider if she is a prosecutor.

9. Silly...that's just the new meme about Obama

CK-John is just using this opportunity to restate the phrases. He's not really talking about Coakley, but about Obama. The goal is to use the term "conflict avoider" so that it becomes part of the conceptual background.

[Mass]

8. She wanted the job. She just did a lousy job thinking that it was a done deal.\nt

[BootinUp]

10. interesting

I hadn't paid much attention due to my day job mostly. So why the hell did we pick her then? Oh dear (sigh)
