Does she really want to lose that badly? Did Ted Kennedy when he was alive do something to just piss her off!!

That stupid comment is like saying Jim Tressel is a MICHIGAN fan!

LOL. Wow this chick is a ditz.

UPDATE: Schilling responds: "I've been called a lot of things...but never, I mean never, could anyone make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn't know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could..."

This made me laugh!

LMAO!!!!

wow... she must be losin' it...

Whats funny (sad?) is that she went to the "my opponent is a fan of (insert rival team from neighboring state)" card....and still couldn't make it work for her.

Desperate much?

Hope she loses in a big way. Washington DC would officially be "on notice."

Latest polls show it could be a 10-point loss for her. The momentum seems to be continuing to build.

That quote might be the nail in the coffin for her.

Wait til November, when some other Dems get canned as well.

I just have this suspicion that Coakley will NOT lose this one, no matter what, and regardless of what polls are saying.

Let's hope I'm wrong!!

The polls have either ahead by 1-15 points. Depends on which side comissioned the poll!! I am certainly not counting her out either. Dumbass comment she made, or not. She is in this battle!!

Schilling has just announced that if she wins, he will run against her in the next election. And the former great New York Ranger defenseman Bobby Orr will run his campaign!

Never underestimate what the public backing of the Kennedy family will do for her.

Here is an example of it. Patrick can't even get her first name right.

BOSTON (YBH.ME) – Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy was on the stump tonight for Martha Coakley. The problem is the Democrat Congressman, who happens to be the late Ted Kennedy’s son, continually referred to Ms. Coakley as “Marsha”, instead of Martha, during a post-rally press conference

She is in a Dem stronghold state and the Kennedy support will lead her to victory. Even Mass voters recognize the Schillings opinions arent worth much. Why should Schilling's opinion carry any weight politically?

It's not whether Schilling's opinions are worth anything or carry any weight (except that they are not in support of her).

It's more about how out of touch she is with the common voter! It would be like saying Woody Hayes was a Michigan fan... and seriously mean it!

You just don't make statements like that if you are in tune with your voters and what is important to them.

Schilling appeared and spoke at her rally!! (not in support of her?) Anyone ever think she referred to him as such, playfully suggesting his opinions dont mean anything politically, and they really are irrelivant to the ppl of Mass?

I don't know what polls you're looking at dude. The only one that has her within 5 points is the farking Daily Kos poll. Rasmussen's latest poll is a week old.

116, 483 registered Massachusetts voters are dead
By Robert Romano
January 18th, 2010, Woburn, MA—116, 483 registered Massachusetts voters are dead, according to an analysis conducted by Aristotle International, Inc. a software and digital database developer.As reported by CNS News, “In Massachusetts, 116,483 registered voters are dead, 3.38 percent of the state’s total of registered voters. Another 538,567, or 15.6 percent, had moved to an area outside of where they are registered to vote.”
Americans for Limited Government Foundation’s project leader, Dan Tripp, is on the ground in Massachusetts monitoring the special election, and said that “for fraudsters, it’s a numbers game. It only takes a few hundred people voting at multiple locations to change the outcome of any statewide election, including Massachusetts’ special senatorial election.”
Generally, in Massachusetts, voters need to provide a name and address associated with the voting list at the polling location in order to vote. There is no voter ID requirement unless a voter registered after 2003 by mail and is a first-time voter.
According to Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson, “The implication of dead people showing up at the polls means that it’s no longer sufficient to win an election with a simple majority. Now, candidates need a 4 or 5 point swing just to pad against potential fraud.”
“And that undermines our free form of government at its very core,” Wilson concluded.

I don't find this surprising. I don't for the life of me know why everyone in the U.S isn't required to provide a valid SS# before voting. It seems like a no brainer to me.

Coakley is apparently trying to "finish" MLK's work. Ha, give me a break. This woman is a freaking loon. The sheer arrogance.

"I'm running for the United States Senate because Dr. King's work is unfinished; his dream is unrealized," she said.

"Tomorrow we act on the dream and we make sure that we allow me to continue that work," Coakley said. "We remember the dream tomorrow and we will act on the dream tomorrow."
