The Boston Globe offers its lengthy profile of the Martha Coakley campaign Wednesday. Challenger Scott Brown gets his story Thursday.
The story highlights a pair of campaign events where Coakley isn't the star. Like last week's announcement of the endorsement by Ted Kennedy's widow.
The ceremony begins. The cameras roll. The speeches extol the life and work of Senator Kennedy more than they do their candidate to replace him. The event is nearly an hour old before Coakley steps up to the podium.
“There’s very little left for me to say,’’ she says. “I feel a little bit like I’m the anticlimax of what is personally a tremendously emotional morning for me.’’
And a delivery guy isn't impressed.
In the hallway, a delivery man taps a reporter on the shoulder.
“Hey, what’s going on here? Why are there all these cameras?’’ he asks. He is told that the Kennedys have announced their support of Martha Coakley for Senate.
“Oh, now she’s going to lose,’’ he says with a grin.
