Unfortunately Martha Coakley lost. Not helped I think by the antipathy of the Boston Globe who wrote a number of sneering articles about her not being enough of a politician. That is what I liked about her - she was a doer. She worked to make change.
Some nice words from Martha to her supporters

Dear Carolyn,
Thank you to everyone across the Commonwealth who supported me in this race and thank you
to the best campaign team and group of volunteers that anyone could ask for. I said at the
beginning of this race that no one would knock on more doors or make more phone calls than
we would and that is exactly what we did.
I cannot thank you enough for the countless hours you have put into this, and for working
your heart out. I will never forget it.
One of the best things about this campaign, was the people I have met along the way. We ran to
make sure that everyone has the opportunity to find their dream and follow it.
I hope everyone out there will keep fighting for what you believe in and the people you believe in.
I know I will.
And I want to say this to all the young women out there - throw your hat in the ring. Lean in and
follow your dreams. And if you don’t win the race or succeed the first time around - get back
in the arena.
Thank you for the honor of allowing me to serve you for all these years.
Martha
