The Missus received a 15″ x 12″ mailer from Martha Coakley today, urging her to vote for Coakley for U.S. Senate next Tuesday.

The flip side of the mailer featured the headline, “In Massachusetts, we know that results matter . . . ”

Below were facsimiles of news headlines such as “State suit alleges health insurers denied benefits’ – The Boston Globe, 1/24/07” and “‘Big Dig firm to pay state, city $16m’ – WBZ-CBS, 12/18/08.”

That information, of course, is meaningless since we don’t know a) whether the state suit against health insurers produced any relief at all for those who were “denied benefits” and b) whether the city/state could have – should have – gotten more from that “Big Dig firm.”

Hey, Martha – you say “In Massachusetts . . . results matter”?

The result of your mailer is, I just got the feeling there’s something you’re not telling us.
