Surely, I was most surprised that Martha Coakley became the Democratic nominee. When Senator Kennedy died, I could have named many before coming to Martha. Without question, Martha is a wonderful person and clearly a focused attorney. Her problem is that she is not a politician. She does not know how to share passion for causes, one way or another.
For those on the Right, they clearly are opposed to what is going on in Congress and would find Brown to be more than acceptable to represent their opposition to Obama's agenda.
For those on the Left, it is another set of expectations that are at the root of their disaffection. We are very disappointed in how the health care legislation proceeded. It has been a disaster and while most people say that it is important to get some bill, rather than none, I am not entirely convinced. Reading Robert Kuttner today gives credence to my negative feelings. Maybe a Republican victory on Tuesday will be in his words, "A Wake-Up Call".
