Martha Coakley has been a dud of a candidate for the senatorial seat that was held by Teddy Kennedy. Reports indicate that she concluded that by winning the primary, her election was guaranteed simply because of the two to one Democratic Party majority registration in Massachusetts. Her campaign efforts have been poor at best. Perhaps this situation will be an indicator of things to come in California (a wake up call?).
Would Teddy Kennedy approve of the health care bill awaiting reconciliation? After all, the bill is too long and complicated. In all honesty it will probably cost money not save money. Medicare will be impacted by this law’s passage. So the election of Massachusetts State Senator Scott Brown may hurt the Democrats but might save our nation from a bureaucratic and financial nightmare.
