In the final days of the race for Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s seat, Ms. Coakley — the Democratic candidate, state attorney general and onetime shoo-in for victory — is on the defensive. Polls have suggested that Scott Brown, her Republican opponent and until recently a little-known state senator, is gaining traction with unaffiliated voters and even some Democrats, electrifying a race that had seemed blandly predictable. With a crucial 60th vote in the Senate at stake, the perceived tightening has sent Democratic operatives scrambling to Massachusetts to help the Coakley campaign and has prompted groups on both sides of the aisle to bombard the state with advertising. Ms. Coakley forcefully attacked Mr. Brown this week, an unusual step for a front-runner, painting him as an acolyte of former President George W. Bush who is out of touch with the state’s values. Former President Bill Clinton will bring his campaigning power to her aid on Friday, and in the meantime, Ms. Coakley is adding to her schedule the kind of meet-and-greet stump events that she largely ducked for weeks.

Good question, GZ....And why is Janet still in her position? It's appalling how Republican/conservative careers (and sometimes lives) are ruined because of one slip of the tongue, but dems can say something as utterly STUPID as "the system worked" and there are no repercussions. Dan Quayle's career was destroyed because he misspelled potato. With Sarah Palin, they aimed at her jugular -- her children. Most libs are despicable... .
