#1 It's a bad sign when you've decided to do the autopsy before the patient is dead. Especially when you're the patient.
She blames them, they blame her...too bad that graphic doesn't spin. Truth is, this should've been a slam dunk for her with minimal effort. Too bad she was a complacent, out of touch diva who expected the state to just roll out the red carpet for her all the way to DC.
But them's the breaks...

#3 complacent, out of touch diva

Isn't that a perfect description of every Demon in a leadership role?

#4 I've always wanted to watch a circular firing squad. This looks to be an outstanding example.

#6 Return fire from a "senior party official". I'm betting at least a "commissar"...

"This memo is a pack full of lies and fantasies - The DNC and the DSCC did everything they were asked and have been involved in the race for several weeks not just the last one -The campaign failed to recognize this threat, failed to keep Coakley on the campaign trail, failed to create a negative narrative about Brown, failed to stay on the air in December while he was running a brilliant campaign. It's wishful thinking from a pollster, candidate and campaign team that were caught napping and are going to allow one of the worst debacle in American political history to happen on their watch that they are at the 11th hour are going to blame others. Before the DNC and DSCC got involved there was barely a single piece of paper on what the narrative is on Brown. The candidate in this race and the campaign have been involved in the worst case of political malpractice in memory and they aren't going to be able to spin themselves out of this with a memo full of lies."

She's AG until 2012. That should be about it for her. I don't think the party will back "the woman who blew Ted Kennedy's senate seat" for dog officer.

#7 And if they're throwing shit at each other even before the polls close, I have a feeling the ground should start shaking here about ten o'clock. It'll be Ted spinning in his grave.

#11 According to Drudge, Coakley threw in the towel.

#12 She ran one of the most inept campaigns in recent memory (worse than ~~McStain~~ McCain).

Insulting Fenway and common people, calling Schilling Yankee fan, bigoted remarks that Catholics should stay out of medical care providing, etc.

She is the perfect end product of a single party in power - unaccountable, elitist and entitled. THere are a lot more like her in COngress for the same reasons. 2010 there is hope we may actually see some of the rascals thrown out.
