We could him again, or someone like him.

No I do not live in MA but his votes do not only affect MA but the entire country so my opinion as well as others matter.

August, good point, better than Coakley but MA could have done better than either of them.

Not really. You can't vote for or against the guy if he does well or poorly in your estimation, and he doesn't represent you. So no, your opinion of him doesn't matter much. Not saying you can't have an opinion. Just saying it doesn't make a difference.

Which was exactly my point. I can try to do something about Orrin Hatch. I can't do a thing about Bill Nelson except make noise.

Ha! I just looked at the comment section on the first post video. Damn thats what you call a desperation but my favorite is "Mr Putin gemme "rinda, i`am desparate russian good for nothing vodka drinker and i need some attention". I think we have a winner on this thread, 46. Well.... here is your magical number 3. GoFYS

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.
