1. John Kerry up now.

Making strong case for Coakley.

[Phx_Dem]

2. Thanks Jefferson!

[jefferson_dem]

3. Vicki Kennedy up now.

Expressing thanks for years of love and support for Teddy. So sweet...

[FrenchieCat]

4. Vicki is speaking and the media is speaking over her......

That's why politics is so fucked up in our country;
cause that's how they like it.

[jenmito]

9. Where did you see that? n/t

[cali]

5. Vicki Kennedy focusing on HCR

[firedupdem]

6. Thanks for the headsup n/t

[Cha]

7. Thank you, Jefferson!

[cali]

8. wow. Patrolman McNulty can really sing.

[gateley]

15. Beautiful Irish Tenor :-) nt

[proud patriot]

10. Kick ass

:kick:

[FrenchieCat]

11. Of course, CNN doesn't allow us to hear what Ms. Coakley has to say......

Cause that would be too easy! :eyes:

[Gregorian]

12. She's good. "Bush/Cheney started this economic crisis in the first place."

Thanks for the link. Glad I can see this.

[Common Sense Party]

13. So, she's running against Wall Street.

[FrenchieCat]

14. She's running against a Sexist Homophobic Racist asshole.

That's who she running against.

That, and a Party of NO!

[rufus dog]

16. Is her opponent running against wall street

Or to be blunt - what is your fucking point?

[Common Sense Party]

50. My point is: she's running against Wall Street.

She's painting herself as the candidate of the people and painting Brown as the candidate of the wealthy bankers, but it all hinges on how much people despise Wall Street. It's probably a wise strategy...but there are a lot of Boston investment firms--Putnam, MFS, Fidelity, etc.--that employ a lot of people. So it's a strategy with some risks.

On edit: Not to mention she's campaigning with President Obama, whose administration is chock full of Wall Streeters, and who has bent over backwards for the banks.

[jefferson_dem]

17. POTUS up now.

No tie. Fired up!

[Gregorian]

18. Hey, I share Michelle's birthday!

Happy birthday to me!

[FrenchieCat]

19. HAPPY BIRTHDAY......Happy Birthday to you-ah!

[jenmito]

20. David Shuster said they were singing Happy Birthday to "someone in the crowd."

He doesn't even know it's her birthday!

[alsame]

22. That's because they don't show anything before the Pres gets

onstage. Coakley specifically mentioned Michelle's birthday and the crowd responded with the song. Apparently, even the folks in the MSNBC control room aren't paying attention. :eyes:

[jenmito]

37. I know. He was talking about Coakley's "gaffes."

:eyes:

[Gregorian]

21. :)

[gateley]

23. Anybody else's feed stop? Or is it just me? Thanks. nt

[bleever]

24. Mine too.

Reloading doesn't help. I flipped on MSNBC.

[cali]

25. mine stopped too.

[countingbluecars]

26. I lost it too. n/t

[O is 44]

41. I lost it too...

a republican is probably at the controls interesting how it went off when the President started to talk. I also noticed it was very slow response for the heckler to be removed.

[Gregorian]

27. Waaaaah! Oh well.

[Hansel]

28. I went over to C-Span.org

http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2010/01/17/HP/R/28527/Mass+Senate+race+in+final+days+Pres+Obama+to+campaign+in+state.aspx

[SeattleGirl]

29. Thanks, Hansel. n/t

[Parker CA]

30. What's going on with all the heckling? Sounded like a child yelling. WTF?

[alsame]

32. A man was taken out, he was screaming and holding a sign but I

couldn't read it or understand what he was saying. The crowd began shouting "Martha, Martha" over him so it was hard to hear.

[Phx_Dem]

33. Some idiot with a "Jesus loves babies" sign caused the disruption,

but I don't know what all the yelling was after that.

[Parker CA]

35. Thanks. Figured it was a nutter, but didn't see anything just heard it. Crazy crazy.

[alsame]

42. So, I assume this guy has made a

donation to help all the babies in Haiti?

[Phx_Dem]

31. It's running on MSNBC.

[Gregorian]

34. Television? What's that?

I can't believe I forgot to turn it on when the feed died.

[jenmito]

38. And on CNN.

[gateley]

39. Thanks! nt

[HughMoran]

36. Good stuff

watching it now

[BeyondGeography]

40. Truck, demolished

[FrenchieCat]

43. Be careful about getting into that Truck....he said......

it might not take you where you want to go!

[wisteria]

44. What a great line!! n/t

[Cha]

48. Thanks, I didn't

get to see it.

[Blaukraut]

45. Awesome rally. Everyone was great, and Obama topped it off

nicely. The hecklers only reinforced the impression that wingnuts and teabaggers are a fry short of a happy meal.

[democrattotheend]

47. Were you there in person?

What's your sense on the ground in MA?

[jenmito]

46. They reported that the room was packed and there were a couple thousand more outside and in

an over-flow room!

[Clio the Leo]

49. I'm FIRED UP!!!!

... and I haven't even SEEN it yet!
