They are appealing to moonbats all over the country. I'm wondering how effective that pitch is, however, WITHIN Massachusetts.<br /><br />Think aout it: Mass. already has "universal" health care with an individual mandate and subsidies for the poor and near-poor. In fact, it's the Mass. reform that serves as the model for the federal legislation under consideration. Given this, what do Mass. voters, in particular, really have to gain from passage of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid health care package? If you're a Mass. voter and you hate the 2006 state HCR, it's unlikely you want to see it enacted nationally. And if you LIKE that bill, there's still no obvious advantage to you in seeing it applied elsewhere. Supposedly, you and your family are already enjoying the "benefits" of taxpayer subsidized "universal" coverage, so how does it help you?.<br /><br />This is just another reason to question what it is Coakley is really offering to voters to motivate them to get out and vote for her. She doesn't impress me as being all that warm or intelligent. She hasn't really accomplished anything in public life. She doesn't seem to have any relevant experience. If there's any particular thing she wants to achieve as senator, I don't know what it is. Honestly, the whole rationale for her candidacy seems to be that she's a Democrat and can be counted on to vote that way. Pretty thin gruel if you think about it. No wonder she's running such a quiet campaign.Conrad Bibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422935506611755825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-33325957986174599782010-01-08T15:18:48.151-05:002010-01-08T15:18:48.151-05:00Actually, I'm not sure that's an inconsist...Actually, I'm not sure that's an inconsistency. As I understand it, if Coakley loses, the only way HCR passes is if the House passes the Senate version completely "as is," thus avoiding the necessity for another cloture vote. So if MoveOn is opposed to the Senate Bill, they definitely should want MC in there so something closer to the House bill can be voted on.Conrad Bibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422935506611755825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-28111432416675722712010-01-08T15:09:35.227-05:002010-01-08T15:09:35.227-05:00Hopefully this means Soros and the PACs he control...Hopefully this means Soros and the PACs he controls have already contributed the maximum allowable amount.MaggotAtBroad&Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493406951892285654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-83472593753213723982010-01-08T14:41:24.237-05:002010-01-08T14:41:24.237-05:00"Hold on to Kennedy's seat..."
