Coakley's last, sad attempt to wan an election that she should have won by 20 points...... Fortunately, her gutter campaign of slash, burn, and attack hasn't worked.....
Democratic US Senate candidate Martha Coakley today highlighted her
differences with her opponent, Republican Scott Brown, on health insurance
reform by saying that Brown does not pay for health insurance for his campaign
workers, while she does.
“We already knew that Scott Brown didn’t want to
make health insurance more affordable for Massachusetts families and
businesses. Now we learn that he won’t even make health insurance
available for his own staff. If he won’t stand up for the people he
employs, how could we ever trust him to stand up for us?" Coakley said in a
statement.
At his first campaign event today, in Quincy, Brown was greeted by an
excited crowd of about 500 people. Detail police officers clapped him on his
back, and the crowd included elderly women and people who described themselves
as Democrats.
Before he spoke, on a stage in front of the public library
decorated with a giant American flag and bunting, he was greeted by seven
seconds of applause, cheers, and chants of "Go, Scott, go!"
He was joined by former Republican governor William F. Weld and a former
Quincy mayor, Frank McCauley, who said, "I've never seen anything like this
before."
Brown told the crowd, "This race is about differences. It's always
been about differences, and it's not about personalities," citing the two
candidates' positions on taxes, spending, and terrorism.
He also criticized Coakley for running negative ads, saying, "It's funny
how quickly the politics of hope, the politics of hope, have turned into the
politics of destruction."
