*shrug* I'm not going to defend Coakley. I don't like a good chunk of her record, but I'm also not going to assert that I know how she would have voted.
Senators are subject to pressure and 6 years is a long time. If she runs for governor in six years I'll worry about it then. The MA Dems have a long history of producing craptastic candidates for governor, which is one reason they keep losing those races.
I will say that I'm not likely to condition my vote in a Senate race on whether I think that person might run for governor in six years.
