Larry, it's more self servng for Obama than anything else. He wants that Senate vote for his health care bill to pass. If the Dems lose that seat in the Senate, he won't have the vote that seals the deal and he misses out on the only big accomplishment he can claim after more than a year in office. It's not as much about Coakley as it is about Obama himself.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
