Obama's stump speech yesterday for embattled Mass. Senate wannabee Martha Coakley was interrupted for a full three minutes by a heckler. Adding insult to injury, the 3,000 seat auditorium wasn't full. Even with the added attraction of Boy Clinton as a draw. And horror of horrors, Obama's speech seems to have rallied support for Coakley's opponent.
In a presentation
Byron York described as halting, wandering and humorless,
Obama tried desperately to rally support for the hapless Coakley to take control of the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. As the much needed 60th vote, a Coakley win is crucial for Obama's health care bill. Or maybe not.
