Coakley Takes Slap Shot At Fenway Fans Man, wouldn't it be great if Republicans could take Kennedy's Senate seat? The Massachusetts special election continues to amaze. Democratic candidate Martha Coakley has taken a swipe at Fenway Park fans: 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. Well yes, politicians go out to meet the voters even if it means standing out in the cold. At least politicians who want to win in Massachusetts. Here is the video of Scott Brown greeting fans outside Fenway Park at the Winter Classic hockey game (and being greeted by Boston comedy legend Lenny Clarke): Coakley's slap shot at Fenway fans was the talk of the popular local Howie Carr radio show in Boston today. Carr is a Brown supporter, and Coakley's refusal to greet the fans outside Fenway was a focus of the show. Maybe Coakley forgot how near and dear Fenway was to Ted Kennedy, who threw out the first pitch last season in what everyone knew would be his last opening day. Or the Tribute to Kennedy in August at Fenway. Insulting Fenway fans. Now that's a plan. In order for Brown to win, a lot of things had to fall into place. Just saying. legalinsurrection.blogspot.com
