Coakley Breaks Kerry's Concession Record (BradBlog)
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7656

Several supporters of Democrat Martha Coakley were injured during her rush to get to the phone as quickly as possible in order to concede the race for the U.S. Senate in MA to Scott Brown even before AP called the race in favor of the Republican.

That, while some 25% of the precincts had yet to report even how Diebold's easily-hacked, oft-failed optical-scan machines (which are in violation of federal voting system standards and programmed by a company with a disturbing and criminal background), had even reported their tabulation and, more disturbingly, while 0% of the voters' cast ballots in Massachusetts had been counted or examined by any human being on the face of the earth.

"After months of campaigning, the Attorney General thought it was important to make sure neither her, nor her supporters voters were actually counted, so best to ensure that the Democracy Menace wouldn't rear it's ugly head right here in the Bay State," said Coakley's campaign manager Kevin Conroy.

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) released a statement upon hearing the news, proclaiming he was "proud of the speed at which Martha was able to concede the race with even fewer of the votes counted by anyone --- zero in Martha's case --- than when I conceded the race for President of the United States in 2004." Kerry added that he had prepared his statement on Monday, so as to save valuable time on Election Night, since American Idol was also scheduled to be on.

The senator can never catch a break anywhere with anyone anymore. Go figure.

6. Stupid. Very stupid. And she lost. Get over it.

I'm more concerned by Democrats getting the right lesson out of this (and concerned they wont), than whether this election was stolen. For some obscure reason, our candidate and party decided that they did not need to campaign in MA.

8. All of the polls (including Coakley's) showed that she was going to lose
Refusing to concede would have been a childish move on her part.
