PPP: Martha Coakly ahead in the polls for Governor

I cant believe the democrats in Massachusetts would pick this woman as the leader to run for Governor after that sorry ass campaign she had against Brown. Unless shes learned from her mistakes shes not going to win in a general election.And i don't care what the polls say about her being way out front of rethugs who are running for Governor. After the Coak brothers spend millions in that state shes DONE!!! http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/

There are four or five possible candidates on the (D) side.

The 'pukes have only one lamb on the chopping block, and he already lost one gubernatorial election. All their eggs are in one basket. He's been sent to charm school for a radical do-over.

A lot can happen, but she seems much more into it this time.

But if she does, I will happily vote for her. She would be a great governor and it is time that a few more women are elected in MA. As long as it is not Grossman, anyway, I am fine at this point.

currently holds. If there are more viable candidates, then so be it, the voters will choose them, but if she's better and has learned her lesson, she'll win.

It depends on who the Republicans have. I don't think they have anyone. I really don't.
