Well, Scott Brown of Wrentham, Massachusetts, and his truck, are on their way to Washington. The repeated invocation of Brown's trusty pickup during the campaign became fodder for the likes of Jon Stewart, but who's laughing now? It is hard to believe that the Democratic Party was unable to come up with a stronger candidate for Ted Kennedy's senate seat then Martha Coakley. In addition to her obvious shortcomings as a campaigner, Coakley was further handicapped by what can only be described as an infuriating, and wholly undeserved, sense of entitlement.
Martha Coakley quickly proved to be a GOP operative's dream opponent. Her gaffes will doubtlessly become the stuff of political lore. Did she really say Curt Shilling was a Yankee? Coakley saved her opponents the trouble of defining her. No, with quotes like that she did the job for them. The RNC should cut her a fat check. Talk about an unmitigated disaster. This was it alright.
