To the last minute, I never thought he could make it.
I am in two minds about this. On the one hand, I did not want to see Martha Coakley in the US Senate at any price; her part in numerous injustices showed her to be, at the very least, bad at judging and obstinate in sticking to misjudgments, and obstinacy in error (especially murderous error) is the last thing one wants from a powerful elected representative. On the other hand, I simply do not want health reform defeated a third time, even though the barely examined Democratic proposals have "bad news" written all over them. A poor system can be reformed, but a nonexistent one must be. And please, all of my libertarian and conservative friends - we have been over this. You will not convince me of what I know to be wrong.
