SIDESWIPE – Poor Martha Coakley is getting blamed by her party for failing to win the vacant Senate seat in Massachusetts. But is this really fair? After all, she wasn’t helped by Rep. Patrick Kennedy repeatedly calling her “Marsha” during one campaign rally. Come on Patrick, read the signs! If you can’t get her name right, how can you expect to boost her vote? Then there was President Obama delivering this unhelpful assessment of Scott Brown to an invited crowd shortly before polling day: “And I don’t know him, he may be a perfectly nice guy. I don’t know his record, but I don’t know whether he’s been fighting for you up until now…” This wasn’t exactly the hard-edged, election-winning, knock-out punch that Marsha (oops, Martha) was counting on. Sideswipe thinks that the President could have had someone do a little more research on the guy who was poised to remove his filibuster-proof Senate majority. Three “I don’t knows” sounds like a strikeout. Martha may not have known that Curt Schilling spilt blood delivering the baseball World Series to Boston but she was more on the ball than her esteemed help.

Sorry. No data so far.
The Dems make the the Stooges look smart! By the way Marsha is a nuanced way to say Martha.
Did we really expect that this country would be fooled once more? There is a saying that I find apropos. “You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
