Watching Martha Coakley live in debate... [View all]

She's going to lose this election to that Republican slime ball.

She's looking scared, cowered over, spineless. Who the heck did her hair? She's looking like a 50 year old trying to look 25. The tone of her arguments comes out as whines, not solid assertions.

Charlie slime ball is looking like a college freshman with his cute blond hair.

Oh, this is not flamebait, I agree with Martha and will vote for her. I can't stand Charlie.

But this debate is so poorly framed for Martha.

Whoever set this up, didn't study the nature of television optics. Martha is losing this debate on optics alone.
