AN UPDATE
–from Bay State:
“For many Democrats, that is too close for comfort, in a race for the seat held for so long by a Kennedy in one of the bluest states in the land. Other polls have showed the race much tighter.
Despite that, there is a subdued, almost dispassionate quality to her public appearances, which are surprisingly few. Her voice is not hoarse from late-night rallies. Even yesterday, the day after a hard-hitting debate, she had no public campaign appearances in the state.
Coakley bristles at the suggestion that, with so little time left, in an election with such high stakes, she is being too passive.
“As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?’’ she fires back, in an apparent reference to a Brown online video of him doing just that. “This is a special election. And I know that I have the support of Kim Driscoll. And I now know the members of the [Salem] School Committee, who know far more people than I could ever meet.””
Imagine, shaking the hand of a commoner outside Fenway?! This attitude is going to play in Boston, Fall River and Lowell like a Bucky Dent home run. Just when she needs to humanize herself to the voters, Martha goes politically diva. Or Howard Hughes. But the result is the same.
Listening to Finneran’s Forum on WRKO yesterday morning, a guy calls with this story (which I hope I am recalling accurately): Outside the debate venue on Monday night, a truck pulls up, loaded with Coakley signs for a phalanx of Teamsters, who stand there holding them as the crowds arrive. Scott Brown shows up, sees the Coakley sign-holders, approaches and greets them and shakes their hands. Some tell him: I’m getting paid $50 to do this, but I’m voting for you. Coakley then arrives and . . . walks right past her sign-holders. No greetings, and certainly no hand shakes.
Can’t touch that.

Liberals feel disdain for ordinary Americans. Remember Obama talking about bitter people who cling to their guns and Bibles? Notice the arrogant bastards use a perverted gay slang term for ordinary Americans upset about taxes and deficits. This is contempt. Liberals despise ordinary people.
