President Barack Obama is going to campaign for Martha Coakley in Massachusetts this Sunday [
President Obama to Stump for Coakley,
Boston Globe, January 15, 2010].
This raises the obvious question: Will Barack Obama and the Democrats turn Martin Luther King Day into a Martha Coakley Campaign Rally?This will be a stretch because Coakley, despite being a left-wing career prosecutor, has never been much of a race-baiter. You rarely hear her bragging about prosecuting hate crimes and such. And it's a bit late to inject race into the campaign.
But I wouldn’t put it past them...
