Why Coakley might win

Remember the New Hampshire primary in 2008? All the polls had Obama as a lock, but Hillary won anyhow, saving her candidacy from an early defeat.

I ate some crow myself on that one. Just before the primary, I gloated about my early prediction of Obama as the Democratic nominee.

Even in hindsight, it wasn’t terribly clear why Hillary won in New Hampshire. If Coakley pulls an upset, we may never know why she won, either.

    Now David, there's no reason to go worrying our resident reactionaries, they've barely had time to get used to the idea of winning something. ;-)
