Why Is Coakley Hiding Out?
My introduction to the less superficial elements of the race to fill Ted Kennedy's seat in the Senate came via the blogging efforts of Sissy Willis. The notion that we can strike a blow against ObamaCare with this race was interesting. Today, I came upon this. What's the deal? Sign on to the party of Kennedy in the right state, keep your mouth shut and you'll be a Senator? Is that what our politics should be about right now? The debates taking place in Washington today are too important for more of the same old thing.
While Coakley has been reticent to talk to the media (she declined repeated interview requests from the Worcester Business Journal and submitted only a written statement), both Brown and Kennedy are making their case to the media.
Of course, it doesn't thrill me to see a third party Libertarian candidate involved. I'm assuming that'll make it that much more difficult for a Republican to win. But if Coakley is willing to just take a pass and not engage on the issues, what's she going to do in DC? Who will she be taking orders from then? She certainly doesn't seem to feel responsible to the people in any way given her ducking the media now. That would be reason enough for me to not vote for her all by itself.
Now, McCain has endorsed Brown. And Romney has said it would be history making if Brown were to win.
I don't care what wing of the GOP they're from. If we are going to get America on the right track via Tea Parties and grassroots activism of all stripes, so the people, not the usual politicians are running things, then we have to make history in 2010.
Have you checked your calender lately? That's the year we're in, folks. If we're going to make history when we need to, now seems as good a time as any to try and make a start.

“But if Coakley is willing to just take a pass and not engage on the issues, what’s she going to do in DC?”
It is simplicity itself. She’ll do what she’s told.
Scott Brown’s the one: “We have to make history in 2010″
“Scott Brown represents a new generation of bold leadership for Massachusetts and our country,” says battle-scarred warhorse John McCain in one of his finer moments (listen here). We and several of our fellow bloggers and twitterers have been chomping …
Thanks for the link! Comments pouring in. The Tea Party people have pitch forks and wallets in hand.
Mass. has long been suspected as having a problem with voter fraud. The dems learned a valuable lesson in 2000 when a Republican certified Bush as a winner. They went out and ran democrats for key positions at the state level. It paid off in Washington and this year in Minnesota.
How bad is it? Let me tell you a story. I had a chance to work with Boston PD on a case back in the nineties. The LT. I spoke to sounded like a real nice regular fella, so I asked him why in the world they kept voting in Ted Kennedy. He said, “Well, it is like this. When we are mad at him, we only vote for him once…” There was a silence on the phone as it slowly sunk in, then I got it. Ted Kennedy could have been caught with a headless prostitute and with the knife in one hand and the head in the other and he would still be re-elected, mostly by dead people.
It’s that bad.
YEP.You have to raise the first wall and drive the first nail to build anything,even if its a coffin for Obamacare or AGW or Cap & Trade.So grab those Hammers and nail away everyone!
Glenn Beck: Ask Scott Brown about SEIU and MA politics
Hot Air’s Allahpundit cites our favorite new aphorism in his “Quotes of the day”: “Could anything be cooler than disintermediating a bunch of old fuddy-duddies via the Internet?” Thanks, as always, to Glenn Reynolds for first using that delicious word,…
