At least Martha is amusing, video:
From Robert Coata National Review:
Here’s the transcript (via the Brown campaign):
Dan Rea: Umm Would Barack Obama be in if this thing was not this close?
Martha Coakley: Umm it’s hard to know, I think that he uh is welcome in Massachusetts
and I’m sure everybody is happy to see a president come.
Rea: 62 to 36
Coakley: But I think probably if it weren’t so close Rudy Giuliani would be here and besides he’s a Yankee fan (Laughter) I just want people to know (Laughter)
Rea: Uhhh yeah but now Scott Brown has Curt Schilling
Coakley: and another Yankee fan
Rea: Schilling?
Coakley: Yes
Rea: Curt Schilling a Yankee fan?
Coakley: nooo, alright I’m wrong on my, I’m wrong
Rea: The Red Sox’s great pitcher of the bloody sock?
Coakley: well he’s not there anymore.
Another Coakley gaffe? Can’t say I’m really surprised. Instead of offering further commentary/eye rolls, I’ll just leave you with this
I’ve been called a LOT of things… 01.16.10 at 1:06 am ET
But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could….
Dan Quayle, call your agent.
