Coakley campaign implosion?

Did Martha Coakley campaign collaspe?

What happened to the Coakley campaign? Before Christmas she was doing so well. Leading and crushing her opponet Scott Brown in the polls. But now she is struggling. During the christmas break (christmas and New Years week) she pulled ads from Tv and radio and stopped campaigning. Brown took the oppuntity to put up TV ads and put his image out there. (I should note before Christmas Vaca-I did not even see a ad from Brown-mainly it was from Coakley). After the holiday break, Coakley put the ads back on TV and went into attack mode. But now less than a week before the special election, Coakley campaign seems to be collasping. First she said something to the effect that there are no more terrorist in Afganistan (if that is true why is Obama sending 30,000 troops to the region?) Then a current Coakley ad misspells the state of Massachusetts to read "Massachusettes". Then there was the fact that A Coakley supporter knocked over a reporter from the Weekly Standard in full view of the cameras outside a Washington fundraiser Tuesday Night. Coakley claims she didnt see it but photographs say different. Then there was the whole, there will be "hell" in the 2010 elections if Dems lost in MA. The Coakly campaign is imploding, Scott Brown is staying on message, remaining postive and focusing on what he will do in Washington. Even one issue that could hurt brown (picture in a magazine) is not hurting him. A new poll has Brown up by 4 points, that should really worry Dems and the coakley campaign-I'm not going to call this race-but its very close.(Posted by Chris @ My Random Bloghttp://chrisgworld.blogspot.com/)

I have said, and stand by the fact that I believe Brown has more support than polls indicate because of the stigma of voting for Republicans in your area. The biggest mistake Coakley made yet was claiming that anyone voting for "Brown" wants Obama to fail. This statement not only carries a racist overtone, but is an insult to Massachusetts voters who really want Obama and government in general to LISTEN. Voters are tired of town hall after town hall where they tell a Senator or representative that they are opposed to healthcare destruction or stimulus waste, or cap and trade and no matter how much they complain, and the economy worsens, the politicians ignore the voters. Now, the State that was home of the original Boston Tea Party looks to make the biggest political statement in a generation by handing the Senate seat that had Kennedy's name on it and was officially reserved for Democrats forever back to the people who it originally belonged to. As for Brown, in this part of the country he'd be closer to a RINO than a conservative, but anything is better than Coakley who will Rubber stamp anything and everything Harry Reid desires. Now with Obama flying in to campaign, I believe we are seeing signs of major desperation on the part of the Coakley campaign and the Democrat Party. They know that bringing Obama in will have mixed results at best, and given how he helped the Governors' race in NJ, they must be far more worried than they are letting on.
