Obama Lends a hand to Mass.

President Obama flew to Boston to help rally voters for Martha Coakley. Martha is running aginst Republican Scott Brown and Obama is trying to keep the seat held for decades by liberal lion Ted Kennedy in Democratic hands. Brown says he will vote against Democratic efforts to expand health care. If Brown wins the election that would give Republicans enough votes to stop the bill through a filibuster. Several Obama advisers have told the party they believe Coakley is going to lose. The sources said they still hoped Obama's weekend visit to the state, coupled with a late push by party activists, could tip the balance in her favor, but Obama aides have grown increasingly pessimistic. If she loses it shows that the nation is in dissagreement with the bill.
