BOSTON -- They just don't get that inside is out here. President Obama's emergency rescue mission to save Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley could prove to be the final nail in her already-closing political coffin as this race -- Coakley's ongoing circus of gaffes aside -- is shaping up to be a bitter fight between the blessed insiders and scorned outsiders.

And between those winners chosen by the federal government and independent outsiders who just want to be left alone to earn what they deserve.

And so it was a bit jarring to hear Obama -- with his innate connection to the passion of voters -- stand here yesterday and try recycling bits from his juggernaut, outsider campaign that made him a part of history.

It worked for him two years ago, but not today. Not now that he and his fellow Democrats control every conceivable lever of power in Washington.

And certainly not for Coakley, who has built her entire campaign around being the chosen successor to the "Kennedy seat."

She has drafted Ted Kennedy's widow into her campaign, relies on the entire Democratic machine here and in Washington and even had a Haitian priest pray to the Good Lord above yesterday that she win the election.

Then here comes Obama trying to sell her as some kind of outsider willing to take on the man.

It's like he doesn't get it. He is "the man" now.

Obama told the crowd here yesterday that he needed Coakley in Washington because she is "independent."

Really? Does anybody actually think that the reason Obama wants her in the Senate is that she would even dream of casting the deciding vote to kill the Democratic health-care bill?

Absolutely not. The only reason Obama came here is because he needs somebody bought and paid for. By him.

If Obama really is looking for the independent, he most certainly won't find him amid the Boston political glitterati gathered around Coakley.

Did you see this interview with Democratic congresswoman, Allyson Schwartz on Fox News?

It is just TOOOOOOOO comical. The anchor asked the simple question if it was a wise political move for the Democrats to scramble and attempt some emergency vote or try to stall Brown's swearing into office (if he's victorious), to make some kind of vote on their healthcare bill.

I've hardly ever seen such hemming, hawwing, double-talk, and answering EVERYTHING but the question put to her.

The Dems are SCARED TO DEATH, and at last check, Brown was up by 5 points. Obama's appearance has had seemingly NO EFFECT on this race. But, as always, time will tell.

This is not hard to understand.  People dont want a marxist 1917 like revolution.

The beatings have started, and it ain't even November, yet. The question remains, if Brown wins, will that have a ripple effect? Will that jar some sense into certain Democratic senators and congressmen, whose hides are on the line this year?

Oh hell yeah, especially the "blue dogs" who dont want to lose their seats for following Obamarx over the cliff on this apparent suicide mission.
