Debate Analyst: Coakley Commanding, but
Joe Endorsing Capuano to
Make Room for His Son

Points made by Dan Payne on NECN (video below):

• Candidates were boxed in by the format.
• Capuano spent a lot of time yelling at the moderator for the questions, which is bad form.
• Khazei kept running through the stop signs, which also is bad form.
• We’ll see a much more aggressive campaign in the future.
• The “worst kept secret in Massachusetts politics” is that Joe Kennedy will endorse Capuano.  “He’s doing it because he wants the seat to be open so that his son can run for congress out of that same seat.”
