There is absolutely no lack of material for comment floating through the news today. As we have mentioned earlier, this race has attracted national attention along with national money, a fact that the Boston Globe deplores. What is it telling us, though, that the Globe neglects to mention that the vast majority of that money, a 2-1 imbalance, is earmarked for Martha Coakley? Oddly, the Globe didn't mention some of the reasons Coakley needs that money, such as paying people to hold her signs during public events. Globe readers would have to turn to the Boston Herald to see that Coakley's campaign schedule in Massachusetts has been light enough that she could get caught up in an altercation in Washington, DC. What was she doing there? Just another fundraiser attended and paid for by lobbyists for pharmaceutical companies and HMOs, something else the Globe neglected to mention. Not only is the fact that she was nowhere near Massachusetts potentially embarrassing, the fact that her spin on what happened may be completely bogus is worse.continue:
