Good News: Coakley Is In and Nelson Is Out
Santa brought us a few early Christmas presents yesterday. Martha Coakley won the Democratic Primary in the Massachusetts Senate race, bringing the state one step closer to electing its first ever woman senator. And the Senate killed the Stupak-like Nelson Amendment.
Coakley would be a strong advocate for women in the Senate. Senator Al Franken is another. Spare Candy posted a transcript of his comments on the Nelson Amendment. It’s a good read.
