The Race to Succeed Ted Kennedy

January 12th 2010 18:31
The race to succeed Senator Kennedy is tight!!! I am trying to understand how an almost sure thing turned south so quickly. Martha Coakley is the scion of another prominent family in the State. Yet, the Republican Candidate has pulled even with her. This is what John Kerry had to say in his appeal on behalf of Martha Coakley:

***************************** ***************************** ***************************** *************************
This is our wake-up call. Polls in Massachusetts are tightening, and one even shows a dead heat in the fight to keep Ted Kennedy's seat in the hands of a Democrat who will fight and vote for jobs, health care, clean energy, and mainstream values.


The far right has launched a massive online fundraising effort, and Brown's allies are blanketing Massachusetts with anonymously funded, shadowy attack ads by outside groups. Sound familiar?

It's time to stand with Martha Coakley. Your donation now could make the difference. Election Day is in one week. Can you step up?

The DSCC hit its $100,000 goal, but the right-wing attack dogs are spending that and more on ads against Martha. You and I both know that these negative campaigns can work.

That's why we need to raise $225,000 to help Martha fight back. Martha's vote is critical to getting health care and the rest of President Obama's agenda passed. If we lose this seat, we also lose our ability to stop Republican filibusters.

The next five days will decide the fate of Ted Kennedy's seat. Do we elect Martha Coakley - who will fight for jobs, our families and our communities as my Massachusetts colleague and the state's first woman senator, or Republican Scott Brown, whose allies in the right wing dream of holding a "tea party" in Kennedy country?

Ads are running, phones are ringing, and volunteers are knocking on doors. Now is the time to push harder. We can't leave anything to chance. Too much is at stake.

***************************** ***************************** ***************************** *************************

I believe that Martha Coakley will win because of the immense reservoir of goodwill that Senator Kennedy and the Kennedy have. But it is going to be close and it will serve as a wake-up call for Democrats nationwide because the country is nervous and anxious because of the continued difficulties.
