Despite how I admired Martha for her hard work and accomplishments over the years, and felt it was a "no-brainer" as to where my vote would go, she threw my vote away. When Martha decided to ramp up the negativity in her campaign, and become the poster child for "How To Run A Nasty" race, I was gone.
She made the decision for me.
I am sure there were others across the state that were taken back by her ads. All attack, and little on the issues. That behavior is an indicator of just how she may have performed once in office.
You know, I don't think it was all her fault. I blame her team. Her "handlers", so to speak, for steering her into the negative attack mode. Yes, I know, she is a bright woman, and could make her own decisions, but not without help. Her attack mode was out of character.
This race was not so much about filling a long held seat, or anything to do with the health care bill, it was about electing a person with the scruples to represent us from here on in an honorable way, be they republican or democrat.
She failed to convince me that she could do that.
