"Coakley’s loss is particularly dispiriting for the many women who were energized about the prospect of the state’s first woman senator....
I know one lady who is crushed.
Democrats were morose....
They should be.
Brown was embraced by right-wing groups, including activists opposed to gay marriage and abortion....
Yeah, well, SORRY, Globe and MSM, but THOSE ISSUES are NOT IMPORTANT TO US in the NEXT ROUNDS of elections!

Yeah, AS HARD as you try to MAKE the next election about divisive social issues that are minimal in their effect, we ain't buying it!
The NEXT ELECTION is about LYING, LOOTING, WARS, and INCUMBENTS!!!!!

Here are MORE PROBLEMS for which Democrats need to go see a shrink:
"Kennedy’s absence tangible as Democrats ask what went wrong" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | January 20, 2010
WASHINGTON - Democrats never imagined....
Of course not. Hard to imagine things when your head is stuck in a s*** pile!
Hard to hear, too!
Democrats should blame themselves for failing to recognize intense voter discontent and act on it....
Democrats failed....
I notice that word coming up a lot when we talk Democrats, don't you?
And I didn't see this next piece in my printed paper. Maybe I missed it.
"Defeat hard for backers to take" by Michael Levenson, Globe Staff | January 20, 2010
Two young women, volunteers on the campaign, sat at a small table, weeping. A man who had held a Martha Coakley sign in the sleet in Wellington Circle in Medford yesterday cursed and raged with fear about the future. Others in the crowd stared grimly at their wine glasses or made their way to the doors.
Coakley’s supporters had gathered last night for what they hoped would be a party to celebrate her election to the US Senate, with music, friends, and food at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. Instead, they found themselves grieving her loss to state Senator Scott P. Brown.
Coakley’s brief concession speech - in which she said she, too, was “heartbroken’’ at the result - seemed to do little to soothe the crowd....
When Coakley took the stage, flanked by a stone-faced pantheon of the state’s Democratic elite, it was difficult, many said, to muster cheers, to put on a brave face for their candidate....
Nancy Alach, an unemployed school administrator from Cambridge who worked full time at the front desk at Coakley’s campaign office, blamed “total sexism that people kept talking about her personality and her appearance.’’
When? What campaign was she watching?
“It makes me really angry because the media created an image that was not true,’’ Alach said....
Well, you know, THEY DO THAT ALL the TIME!! Go tell it to a Muslim!!!!

The Globe was so full of s***ty rewrites, reedits, and omissions today that I didn't even finish reading it -- and may not.
