Is Hillary the Martha Coakley of national Democrats? [View all] BillZBubb Nov 2014 OP

Gumby? Is that you? Darb Nov 2014 #1

No, not me. There's more Pokey in me. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #9

Well Hillary has won sharp_stick Nov 2014 #2

Coakley won elections too, in her district, but at the state level she fails. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #7

Coakley was our AG Capt. Obvious Nov 2014 #18

Coakley HAS won statewide, a few in Mass have said there is some sexism when it comes to electing JI7 Nov 2014 #20

The day that Coakley got the Dem gubernatorial nom,* I said, "Meet Governor Baker." merrily Nov 2014 #3

She may be the Harold Stassen of the 21st century tularetom Nov 2014 #4

Or the Adlai Stevenson II MineralMan Nov 2014 #6

i'm pretty neutral on hillary, but no, there's no comparison here at all. not even close. unblock Nov 2014 #5

"Clobbered"? She got 17 million votes, almost the same as Obama brooklynite Nov 2014 #8

Delegate count, delegate count... BillZBubb Nov 2014 #10

So if Hillary is the Martha Coakley of the Democratic Party, that makes Howard Dean.....? brooklynite Nov 2014 #11

Is Howard running for president? I hadn't heard that he was. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #13

That was close also. Tom Rinaldo Nov 2014 #16

I doubt she'd make the same mistake twice. Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #23

Hillary did not get "clobbered" in the delegate count either. former9thward Nov 2014 #36

There is an asterisk on that popular vote. AtomicKitten Nov 2014 #61

Your asterisk not mine. former9thward Nov 2014 #62

It's wiki's asterisk/footnote, not mine or yours. AtomicKitten Nov 2014 #63

Was also close until she realized it was over and her delegates pledeged to Obama.. joeybee12 Nov 2014 #44

Super delegate count, super delegate count. Beacool Nov 2014 #46

Clobbered? i thought the popular vote wax almost even. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #12

Remember 2008, they were saying no Democrat except Hillary could win. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #14

Once it is clear who is running we will have a better idea. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #17

She ran a very bad campaign in 2008. Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #22

I would do away with caucuses. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #26

Wow there sure were a lot of rocks turned over last night. The slugs and trolls are out in force. Pisces Nov 2014 #15

A little sensitive, are we Fish? BillZBubb Nov 2014 #28

She was able to get elected to the Senate, which is more than Coakley could do. Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #19

Yes, but my analogy was Coakley won locally, but couldn't win the state. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #32

I think the same could be said of Warren & O'Malley Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #34

Absolutely, I agree. Hillary has a great resume. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #40

I don't remember Obama clobbering Hillary. Control-Z Nov 2014 #21

If you consider the power of the Clinton Machine LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #24

No. It wasn't. (nt) Control-Z Nov 2014 #25

Yes, it was. Delegates, delegates, delegates. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #31

What is your definiton of getting "clobbered" former9thward Nov 2014 #37

50%+1. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #41

Yeah, an unknown Senator who gave the Keynote speech former9thward Nov 2014 #48

Compared to the Clintons? LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #49

Clinton got more votes in the primaries than did Obama. former9thward Nov 2014 #50

Bullcrap!!! Beacool Nov 2014 #47

No. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2014 #27

Your numbers are very misleading. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #30

He won by 1 tenth of 1 percent of the vote. Your use of words like "clobbered" is misleading. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2014 #35

Unknown? former9thward Nov 2014 #38

It's pretty clear this poster doesn't have any clue about either the Obama - Clinton primary race OR MADem Nov 2014 #43

Failed miserably? Clobbered? What election were you watching? MADem Nov 2014 #33

"I'm not going to wave the sexist card"! BillZBubb Nov 2014 #39

You don't have a grasp of MA politics. MADem Nov 2014 #42

Hillary got clobbered????? Beacool Nov 2014 #45

No Mike Nelson Nov 2014 #51

That is an odious description. longship Nov 2014 #52

Nope, it is an important question. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #53

Totally irrelevant until she declares as a candidate, or indeed anybody does. longship Nov 2014 #56

I just love the smell of right wing talking points leftofcool Nov 2014 #54

When you find some, let me know. BillZBubb Nov 2014 #55

Try Googling Rand Paul on HRC leftofcool Nov 2014 #58

Uh-uh Old Nick Nov 2014 #57

Clobbered? People have short memories... she is NO Coakley JCMach1 Nov 2014 #59
