Are you from Massachusetts? Please send a message to Martha Coakley if you agree.

She is in a precarious spot right now. I will vote for her, the option is not acceptable but:

She would find herself more likable if she would SMILE once in a while.
I know running for office is serious business but she comes across as cold and calculating. I have watched her ads, seen the after debate reviews and have come to the conclusion(mine ) that she is just not likable.

People like me want our elected officials to come across as human, not just machines that spout the party line.
I hope my opinion does not offend my fellow state voters. I have tried to like her but there is something there that bothers me. Not her positions, just her personality. I do think that counts.

Only a few days left.
