Well the Missus got a phone call from the president on Friday and here’s what he said:
Hi. This is President Barack Obama.
I rarely make these calls and I apologize for intruding on your day. But I had to talk to you about the election in Massachusetts on Tuesday because the stakes are so high.
In Washington, I’m fighting to curb the abuses of the health industry that routinely denies care. I’m fighting for financial reforms to stop Wall Street from playing havoc on our economy. I’m fighting to create a clean energy economy.
And it’s clear now that the outcome of these and other fights will probably rest on one vote in the United States Senate.
We know where Martha Coakley stands. As your Attorney General Martha’s taken on Wall Street schemes, insurance company abuses, big polluters – on your behalf.
She represents the best progressive values of Massachusetts. She’ll be your voice – and my ally.
But a lot of people don’t even realize there is an election on Tuesday to fill the unexpired term of Ted Kennedy. They don’t realize why it’s so important.
So, please, come out to vote for Martha Coakley. And make sure everyone you know understands the stakes for their families, for Massachusetts, and our country.
Thanks for your time.
Me? All I got was a mailer from Scott Brown that displayed:
Black Friday (with a credit card), White Christmas (with a pine tree), and Brown Tuesday (with a calendar highlighting January 19, the date of the U.S. Senate election).
Is it really possible that Brown Tuesday is the new Black Tuesday for Massachusetts Democrats?
Stay tuned.
Yikes John, lets hope not. I’m no fan of Martha by a long shot, but heatlth reform is an imperative. So I’ll hold my nose and give her my vote and hope that another Dem will dislodge her at the end of the term.
That’s like dreaming of the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny.
That’s also the type of voting attitude that brought us Deval Patrick and the current set of incumbents in the State House.
Continuing to vote is this fashion is to sanction the Cash for Hacks program that strips the nation and commonwealth of the resources it needs to actually solve problems.
Ok Mudgie, who should I vote for that will advance changes to health care ?
