There is another choice in the race, is there not?

I'm also less than convinced that either Coakley or Brown actually believe in anything. The record of the two of them on abortion is a bit mixed (http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/01/04/abortion_stances_of_brown_coakley_not_so_easily_defined?mode=PF). Like so many of our politicians, expediency and the power of their faction matters most.
