In response to "Maybe, but I really want to underscore what a suspect candidate Coakley is." by TFox

She's just a truly bad campaigner. She has no interest in being a politician.

She's so like my boss it's scary. She works very very hard at her job and is quite good at it, but she has no interest in engaging people. And she comes off as aloof because of it. Coakley is a hard-working attorney, not a pol, and she ran this campaign as if getting down to meeting the people and pressing the flesh was beneath her and put her in danger of getting swine flu. You can't run a campaign like that.

That said - if she wins the primary from other Dems, which she did, the Party has no choice but to run her. Unfortunately, they weren't able to get her to start campaigning better.
