Say It Ain't So Already

Coakley v. Brown

Last night I emailed my friend LH who lives just south of Boston.  I wondered what her thoughts were regarding Martha Coakley’s chances of winning in Massachusetts tomorrow:

I will be very surprised if she wins. The democrats have fallen short with campaigning and their ads are horrible. The same old thing.  She is just running an attack campaign. Unfortunately, I predict Scot Brown will win. There ads are very good and personal and positive.

If Coakley in fact does lose, what will the Democratic establishment learn?  That they have to “move to the center” or that they have to start being real Democrats (not Republicans-lite) and produce the change they’ve been promising?  It will be fascinating (but, I fear, depressing) to see.
