Democrat Faces Friendly Fire

In a bit of a surprise, liberal media in Boston have provided unflattering coverage of the Democratic heir apparent to Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat. On Wednesday, The Boston Globe opened up old wounds, reminding voters of Martha Coakley's Dukakis-esque approach to horrific crimes.

Sean Hannity reads from The Globe's article:

In October 2005, a Somerville police officer living in Melrose raped his 23-month-old niece with a hot object, most likely a curling iron.

Keith Winfield, then 31, told police he was alone with the toddler that day and made additional statements that would ultimately be used to convict him.

But in the aftermath of the crime, a Middlesex County grand jury overseen by Martha Coakley, then the district attorney, investigated without taking action.

It was only after the toddler’s mother filed applications for criminal complaints that Coakley won grand jury indictments charging rape and assault and battery.

Even then, nearly 10 months after the crime, Coakley’s office recommended that Winfield be released on personal recognizance, with no cash bail. He remained free until December 2007, when Coakley’s successor as district attorney won a conviction and two life terms.

The victim's family could not make sense of Coakley's handling of the case:

“Why was he able to be two years out of jail? Why is that?’’ said one family member. “We ask that question all the time.’’

Scott Brown on Hannity

In the only public poll of the 2010 Massachusetts special election to date, Rasmussen found that Scott Brown and his Democratic opponent were separated by single digits. Among respondents who say they are sure to vote, Brown and the Democrat were two points apart, well within the margin of statistical error (4.5%).

Sean Hannity interviewed Scott Brown yesterday, a few hours after Rasmussen's poll results were first released. Setting up the interview, Hannity read from IBD's Politics and Markets Blog:

A Brown upset would be seismic, because it would reduce the Senate Democratic caucus to 59 votes, 1 vote shy of the 60 needed to override a GOP filibuster. That would mean the GOP could block a final health bill if House-Senate negotiators make any changes to the Senate health bill.
