Barack Too Cool

The Massachusetts Senate race shocker Blue to Red upset in the making is garnering attention from around the country. From reader Mary here:

Mr. Obama flew to Mass. on Air Force One, but took his tie off to speak? How is that "presidential"? He came across as Martha's D. C. buddy, not the Chief Executive. The faithful came to see THE PRESIDENT, not a cool guy from Chicago who now lives in D. C. Go Scott Brown!

Scathing review of Obama's Coakley speech from the lefty Atlantic:

The Boston audience didn't pay attention to Obama when a heckler harangued him. The president stopped speaking, looked at the heckler, tried repeatedly to return to script, then awkwardly said "We're OK" as the audience looked at the heckler. Obama seemed as feckless to control the crowd as a substitute teacher can be to a class. You can dismiss this as a silly episode, but it shows clearly the president doesn't like to fight and is not spontaneous.

Brown winning the social media war. Huffpo. More from the Bay State blog, NRO, with video of Scott Brown's huge Worcester rally yesterday. The race is a referendum on ObamaCare. And on the leadership or lack of it by the president.

P.S. NOT a joke. After Obama Rally, Dems Pin Blame On Bush

More. Dems trash Coakley. RCP video of Morning Joe.

More. Bill Kristol. The “rape” charge seems to be backfiring among independent women. Background on that here. Plus this. Coakley's own horrible record here and here. And Ben Stein on Coakley's handling of the Amirault case: Witchcraft's Candidate.
