Jesus, could they spin that any harder if they tried? They claim that BOTH sides have been running negative campaign ads. I live within 35 miles of Boston, and the only negative ads are being run by Coakley and her cronies. She’s done more to damage her own campaign with all of her gaffe-tastic remarks, like referring to the senate seat as “Kennedy’s seat”, saying that there were no more terrorists in Afghanistan, calling Red Sox living legend Curt Schilling a ‘yankee’s fan’, etc ad nauseum.
In regards to her political history, letting a toddler-rapist (raped a 23 mo old with a hot curling iron) free for 2 years until her successor finally put him in jail (the rapist’s father was a big time union supporter of hers) then preventing the release of an innocent man who was jailed for years (accused of rape, but case was overturned, with prejudice) just shows how hypocritical she really is. If I lived a few more miles south, I’d be in Mass, and I’d be voting for Brown.

BTW, she’s also sending out leaflets saying that Brown wants to turn away rape victims from hospitals. AS a father of numerous daughters, and as someone who voted FOR emergency contraception for rape victims, she’s an out-n-out liar, and a hypocrite, and, like the curling iron thing above, shows she doesn’t care for the victims, she only cares about her political career.
