Queen of the Internet tubuals, Michelle Malkin, published a letter from a Massachusetts reader that revealed the extents that unions are going to in order to keep in Democrat hands the Senate seat that Teddy “the lesser” Kennedy held.

This seat appears increasingly at risk, though, if the latest polls are any indication. Unions are rallying to support Democrat candidate Martha Coakley, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. This video shows that union members admitting that they are being paid to stand and rally for Democrat Coakley. > Not realizing he was being video taped, a member of the “Sheet Metal Workers” union, Local 17, admitting that he was being forced to come down to hold a sign, but he’s at least being paid $50. He also openly admits that he’s voting for Brown, then promptly “high-5’s” Angel.

By the way, it might not have been much help that candidate Coakley misspelled the name of her state in her TV ad recently! Hat tip to JammieWearingFool for that hilarity.
