America, Your Fate is in My Hands

Karen, Martha Coakley was on a radio interview Friday, and she called Curt Schilling another Yankee fan

Wow. Grace's responce to this said it all.

Politicians are a strange breed.


On a side note.... I actually was lucky enough to meet Curt Schilling and even interact with him for a few hours. (Though I doubt he would remember me.) Curt owns a company called Multi-Man Publishing (MMP). MMP produces, mainly, a real old school board game called Advanced Squad Leader. Its a VERY complex (the complete rule book is over 300 pages) game. I used to play the game often, but then got married. (Enough said?) ANYWAY. Curt was a lot of fun and took his whoopin well. LOL (It was in the opening round of the big 'tournament'.) He's a great human being.

Years later... I saw him at the Baltimore airport, waiting like the rest of us schlubs for his plane with his family. Sadly, people other than I recognized him. He ended up surrounded by people. He just kept smiling and signing.

Curt Schilling = Righteous Dude.

Curt Schilling = Righteous Dude.

He gets extra points from me for his work at fundraising for ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease, as that is what killed my mom. A gentleman.

After checking around for more info on this Senate race, I found a
inflattering article on the Dem candidate. Seems the author thinks
this Mass. AJ is not helping herself at all.

Thanks for the link, liz. I especially liked this -

Even if Martha Coakley, their cause célèbre, pulls through this race, she will enter the Senate in a vastly weakened position, perceived as a frontrunner who blew her lead and mangled her campaign. What’s more, Coakley’s lack of fight raises questions about her ability to effectively advocate for women’s issues as a legislator in a deeply divided Congress.

A testament to modern marketing.

My IP address shows a NY address, but I have various email accounts showing other addresses.

When I log into a defense/strategy discussion forum or check out drudge, I get ads for Sen. Brown.

When go to CNN, I get A.G. Coakley ads.

For some reason, though I'm a registered third party voter, the NY State DNC sends me messages personally through one of my spam trap email addresses.

I'd hate to see their marketing budgets, but I could probably live quite comfortably on a small % of what they're spending.

Today we had 5 phone calls reminding us to vote for Brown / Coakley.

This is a land line, with a 401 area code. We are in RI the election is in Mass.

What a waste of funds!!!

[Karen]

You just got 5, consider yourself lucky! I have lost track of how many calls have come in today, we just let the machine get it then delete it as soon as we hear who it is.

I am so looking forward to Wednesday! At least then when the phone rings maybe it'll be an actual human being on the other end!

Wow.


Read the comments on DailyKos. I'm saving some of that for the next time a lefty calls ME a 'hater'.

Gonna be a fun day on the news/commentary sites tomorrow.

*** Edit

Expect the spin from the losing side to be about anything except the real issues. I'm not a huge fan of Brown, what I know of him at least. But, IMO, this vote was about a lot more than just him.

Holy Chit! Even John Stewart went after Coakley [ETA]And The Dems Every Where!!![ETA].

I didn't care for either one of them - much like Karen. But I love that Brown won - just what we need in the middle of January, something to get everyone stirred up

I will watch the BB movie just to see that scene, the girl that tries to stifle her smile is the best part!
