Obama political arm promises 'all out' effort to elect Coakley

By Michael O'Brien - 01/16/10 03:13 PM ET
President Barack Obama's political organization pledged on Saturday an "all out" effort to elect the Democrat in Tuesday's special election in Massachusetts.

In a letter to supporters, Mitch Stewart, the director of Obama's Organizing for America group, asked for donations to fuel a massive operation on behalf of state Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democrat running to permanently fill the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's (D) seat in the Senate.

"OFA is going all out in Massachusetts -- we're sending organizers, knocking on doors, and making phone calls by the tens of thousands to make sure that folks know how to participate," Stewart wrote.

The fundraising appeal reflects the urgency among Democrats ahead of Tuesday's special election, where upstart Republican candidate Scott Brown has come within striking distance of Coakley in the traditionally-Democratic state.

Stewart acknowledged the "uncertain" outcome in the race in his plea.

"With the outcome uncertain and the stakes sky high, I don't want to wake up the morning after the election thinking that we could have done something more," he said. "If you feel the same way, please donate $5 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts."

More . . .

Now that's just what those folks in MA need - a bunch of stoners with OFA knocking on their doors, telling them how wonderful the very secretive, super-sonic, health care reform bill is.

The Dems are going all out on this election. If they lose after this herculean effort, they are going to look really weak. Now, (as much as I would hate for a female Hill supporter to lose) it would feel pretty good to see the Dems take such a hit.

That's how I feel too lol.  I hate that its a Clintonista in this position.  I would rather it be an Obot then I could make calls and campaign for the Republican.
