Here is Coakly's foreign policy expertise on display. I am proud to say that all of my college-aged children knows far more about Afghanistan that Martha does.

This is the Coakly's comment for which the Weekly Standard Reporter got roughed up for asking her a follow-up question.

Finally, here is Coakly's arrogance on parade:

Coakley bristles at the suggestion that, with so little time left, in an election with such high stakes, she is being too passive.

“As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?’’ she fires back, in an apparent reference to a Brown online video of him doing just that. “This is a special election. And I know that I have the support of Kim Driscoll. And I now know the members of the [Salem] School Committee, who know far more people than I could ever meet.’ - Link’

As I said above, the main issue in this race is stupidity (arrogance is running a close second). On those issues, Coakly is pulling away from Brown, who has run a very smart campaign.
