Massachusetts Attorney General and gubernatorial wannabe Martha Coakley just can’t escape her past (see: 2010 U.S. Senate special election).
Thus – inevitably – this piece by Ben Schreckinger appeared in the latest edition of Politico Magazine.
Martha Chokeley
Is the worst candidate in Massachusetts about to lose again?
You could call her the Bill Buckner of politics, if she even knew who the Red Sox were.
She’s a Democrat who managed to blow a huge statewide lead to a Republican in deep-blue Massachusetts in epic fashion. And now she’s blown it again. Or at least that will be the epitaph on Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley’s political career come November if Charlie Baker edges her in the governor’s race.
That’s a big if, of course.

Ouch.

If Massachusetts residents think they’ll be better off with an insurance industry exec running the commonwealth, it’s hardly Coakley’s fault. The blame, and responsibility, for that level of short-term memory loss and stupidity belongs with its owners.
You have too admit, though, Mick – she’s her own worst enemy.
She croaks on her record.
Ouch.
