Out Back Question of the Week
How does Columnist Joan Vennochi fall into a small mental error in her Thursday column in this paragraph?
Some Kennedy family members seem comfortable with Capuano. But it’s up to the voters to decide what they are looking for in Ted Kennedy’s successor.
Going to guess that the slight error is that technically Kirk is the successor.
I caught Vennochi's column on Thursday and I thought she came off as pretty balanced on the Coakley gender issue. I would agree that it *shouldn't* be about gender, but I'd also say that firsts are important, so it's sort of a double-win if she happens to be the right person.
What I feel even MORE strongly about is that if we start painting every critique of Coakley that comes from Capuano as some type of "code word" we're stepping into pseudo-intellectual psychobabble world. Campaigns are by nature competitive and personal... one pol calling another "cautious" or "indecisive" sounds to me like, well, politics.
