Being the only woman in a field of four also helped Coakley. Pagliuca and Khazei put themselves on the map. I wonder if either is considering the governorship?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952618158664674100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-67272110759412343472009-12-09T11:20:00.709-05:002009-12-09T11:20:00.709-05:00N.Starluna, Pagliuca accused Capuano of being the ...N.Starluna, Pagliuca accused Capuano of being the Sarah Palin of the Democratic Party, not Coakley...though, I guess it doesn't matter much now. <br /><br />Go Scott Brown!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853471810003423234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-21359225295330262542009-12-08T23:11:46.567-05:002009-12-08T23:11:46.567-05:00Jim --

Even though I have precious little ideological affinity with his views (I'll give him points for his anti-war vote), I think it would have been nice if the Democrats had nominated someone, oh, non-robotic. Capuano certainly fits the bill!<br /><br />Familial duty came before civic duty today, and I didn't vote. Fortunately, my candidate won his primary, and it wasn't exactly a squeaker! (Of course, I ponder January with dread.)Thomas Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217297262702709978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-60101208035816526962009-12-08T14:28:38.394-05:002009-12-08T14:28:38.394-05:00I'm leaning towards Khazei.

It's impossible to replace Kennedy, so I'm trying not to think like that.Eric M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18183797948604375366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-55396702224569099672009-12-08T08:41:08.712-05:002009-12-08T08:41:08.712-05:00I have to go vote in half an hour and I have only ...I have to go vote in half an hour and I have only narrowed it to Coakley and Khazei. <br /><br />I decided against Pagliuca after the accusing Coakley of being the "Sarah Palin of the Democratic Party." Not only is this false, but it is a desperate and stupid statement. Very unsenatorial. <br /><br />Capuano is a reliable liberal but his constituent services staff are terrible. When you call his office, his people never call you back unless you are from Somerville or with the press. I got better assistance from Barney Frank's office and I'm not even his constituent. The constituent services that senators do can be more complicated than what the Reps do, and he doesn't seem to hire the staff to do it well.N.starlunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558893672026000878noreply@blogger.com
