There's a Liberal Georgia blog I rather enjoy... http://galiberal.com/?cat=226 We all know I'm not liberal but I get a kick out of the site with some of the jokes and it's always good to hear perspectives from people I don't see eye to eye with. Anyway, today he posted this... funny!
Martha Coakley Syndrome (MCS) is when a candidate is so full of victory, they get sloppy in their campaigning. For example, Martha Coakley did some of the following things during her campaign (Symptoms of MCS):
1- When criticized for leaving the state for a Washington fundraiser instead of campaigning, Coakley responded saying “as opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold?” (Not engaging the people)
2-Coakley also referred to Red Sox star pitcher and Brown supporter Curt Schilling as “another Yankee fan,” making her a butt of late-night comedian jokes, including Jon Stewart. (Being ignorant about common things)
3-Coakley took a week-long vacation. (Not campaigning)
4-Relying too heavily
So, in the future, expect us to refer to MCS. I think that, perhaps, someone on the Democratic Governor Primary, whom I will not call out in this point, may be suffering from MCS.
MCS can be treated by the following actions:
Getting out and talking to he people
Not assuming that you are winning
Not rolling your eyes during debate (did that give it away)
Realizing that your massive amount of campaign dollars contributions do not equate to good, grassroots, of-the-people support.
