Well I agree, *if someone better had been running for that office*.
Don't get me wrong. Martha Coakley has done a good job as State Attorney General. She's a pitbull when it comes to going after lawbreakers, but as a legislator she would have been a rubber stamp for the ruling party who would have exacerbated the problems in Washington rather than helped to alleviate them.
Nobody here really thought Brown would make a better legislator. He got elected because he was able to successfully cast himself as an outsider who would vote his own conscience rather than along party lines.
