She’s no Trey Gowdy, that’s for sure.

It might be hard to design a worst candidate for Governor or US Senator than Coakley. She is routinely dreadful out on the campaign trail and her years as a prosecutor have created enough skeletons in her closet to stock a Halloween superstore.

NEVER FORGET that Martha Coakley tried to get a guy who raped a 23 year old BABY, with a hot curling iron, no jail time for his brutal and despicable crime. Oh, and there’s much more, check out this link at neo-neocon from back when she was running against Scott Brown in 2010:

Here is a sample of why it’s crazy that Coakley hold ANY gov’t office:
” In 2008 a father punched out a janitor in a Market Basket supermarket because he found the employee reaching in under a bathroom stall in the men’s room to touch the leg of the man’s 4-year old child while the boy was urinating. The illegal alien janitor was charged with indecent assault (he later no showed at his hearing), but the boy’s father was also charged with assault. Coakley’s comment on a radio show? “We really discourage people from self-help.” ”

I would have loved to have seen the faces at Marsha’s (sic) headquarters when they heard about/read this.

On the plus side it looks like an R will when governor in MA.

On the negative side the reason he is going to win is that he is well within the political sphere of the left.

This is MA, but the fact that most R candidates across the nation are to the left of the average D a generation ago is a real problem.

Representative government doesn’t work when all the candidates on the ballot essentially want to do the same things.

” Baker, a former health care executive, has made a career of doing just that. During this campaign, he has focused principally on making state government work better. The emphasis is warranted. And in that spirit, the Globe endorses Charlie Baker for governor…..”

That’s how good a candidate Baker is.

Field good candidates who can explain why they want different policies = win
