I don't know how much of an impact he will be. I don't think it'll hurt her though.
But I guess they really are paying attention now. Ten days to go. We'll see if its too little too late.
Coakley is in trouble - the bases are loaded and there are no outs. Bring in Bubba.
Lock up the women...Willy is coming to town. Follow me on twitter @garyrlake
My take is that it is a net wash...it will pull some on the fence to Coakley and push some off toward Brown.
Money is not the issue for Martha...as someone else pointed out, you can't win simply by spending more, but you sure can lose because you didn't spend enough.
But the VP3N analogy is spot-on....if this were the Yankees...this would be the political equivalent of Stienbrenner calling Torre in the dugout and saying "Cut the screwing around and put the call in for Mariano Rivera".
Clinton will get coverage on TV, and be able to call to mind the sins of the Bush admin, blame the GOP for the mess the economy is in, probably invoke the spirit of Kennedy, and give a big rally call for the DEMS to not let Kennedy's seat fall into GOP hands". I have no doubt the DEM base will vote for Coakley, but it's those PO'd indies that can't be measured. The unenrolled who can't be bothered to vote in primaries or midterms. They outnumber the GOP and DEMS put together.
p.s. I just got a call from Brown's Wrentham office...they are putting out the call for help for this Sunday. Follow me on twitter @garyrlake
Still got enough left so it's worth keeping him around for a while, but don't be surprised if he throws up a fat one that ends up on the roof of the parking garage on Landsdowne St. Follow me on twitter @garyrlake

[A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill's handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.
My goodness Bill...Harry Reid apolgizing for calling the president a "Negro", Joe Biden remarking he's "Clean and speaks well" and now you? Who is it that claims to fight for minorities? At least Teddy had a little class and enough humanity to take offense.
Jeez, they claim the GOP is full of grumpy old white men...not so sure anymore. Follow me on twitter @garyrlake
