Ted, let me try to explain it to you in easy-to-understand terms. If the voters of MA were for health care reform, they would have elected what's-her-name, not Scott Brown. Now let me try to explain it to you. MA voters already have health care reform....their own. And they like it: "I could make the case very strongly that health care is the issue that got Scott Brown his initial traction," pollster Scott Rasmussen told me. "There are people out there who really dislike it, and saw him as a vehicle to get that 41st vote (to block it). But among the people who said health care was their top issue, Coakley won. So clearly that wasn't enough to get him over the top." And poll after poll has shown that a majority of MA voters prefer health care reform. Now lets look at the fact that Coakley went on a two week vacation right after her primary which left her with 2 weeks to make her case to the voters. In the meantime Brown campaigned for 4 weeks straight. Brown attended 66 events....Coakley only 16. Coakley trashed a favored Red Sox player and told the voters to eat cake when asked if she would stand outside Fenway Park and shake their hands. There were other gaffes as well which should have resulted in a ten point lead for Brown...at least. In fact he won by what? Three points. LOL. I am not impressed. Sorry! Seriously, ten, get the facts before you post. If that doesn't tell you anything, nothing will, and your request to Brumar is meaningless. Seriously, dude, you need all you've got to defend yourself. Let Brumar do his own defending. ;-)
