Martha Coakley and Barack Obama held a rally in Boston today and couldn't fill the hall.

Capacity of 3,000 and about 2,500 people in the hall. Dramatically lower level of enthusiasm...

On top of that, Pres.Obama gets majorly heckled in the midst of the speech.

Saunders, do you have a source/video of that?

Sanders · Diamond

I am looking for it. Coming shortly.

Here it is..

It was an extensive disturbance.. There was a very long break/pause to the speech.. Pres.Obama actually moves away from the podium for a bit - see that in the latter video.

About 5-6 people were walked out afterwards..

BTW, I just heard that Scott Brown's current rally has about 5,000 people!!!

oh, my....what a difference a year makes. I think he forgot he lost the primary in MA to Hillary in 2008 by 15 points. He wasn't really the change MA wanted...and neither is Coakley.

BTW, could she possibly have run a crappier campaign?

Yes, I agree, Coakley's campaign was not very smart nor strategic. She assumed she is going to win. In fact, she made a magnanimous gesture of offering 3 more debates to Scott Brown.. Oh well..

Scott Brown's approach was quite smart. He homed in on the nation's anger against Washington, and focused the electorate on "41st" seat in senate.

Net result: Massachusetts where ONLY 11% of registered voters are Repubs has turned into a neck and neck race.

It is still too close to call.

BTW, Pres.Obama had a very difficult time getting the audience back to focus on his speech. He lost track of where he was. He stepped away to diffuse focus on himself.. and when he returned, he still could not take charge.. There were shouters in the audience. Even the "I love you" shouters are not so good when you are talking President speech... and he says "I love you back" yuck! lol Overall, he had no control of the audience. Very UNPRESIDENTIAL.

Man I hate the fact that Martha is losing because she is a Clintonista but she messed up when she said she would back everyone. LOL on the fact that the rock star didn't fill up the arena. OH yeah he got crushed in MA during the Primary.
