What happened? Why did Martha Coakley lose? |
||
 |
Martha Coakley lost because she lacked personal appeal. Scott Brown is more of a people person, whereas Coakley was more job focused. Brown focused on people. Coakley focused on showing she could get the job done. |

I think Martha Coakley shouldn’t have had President Obama supporting her because he’s the U. S. President and she should have kept her campaign local. |

I think that there was too much confidence. She and others thought it was a done deal and didn’t work for it hard enough. |

 |
Because she thought that she was a winner; and she laid back not fighting like she was supposed to. |

Though I never “connected” with Coakley, I voted for her. I voted for her to support the Dream. |

I think she pulled a Hillary. She took the campaign for granted. |
