Martha Coakley is Flying High On Her DOMA Win

I mean no disrespect, but you’ve got to assume Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, fresh off a federal court win over DOMA, is enjoying being known as something besides “failed and abysmal U.S. Senate candidate.”

“is enjoying being known as something besides ‘failed and abysmal U.S. Senate candidate’”
or “woman who revels in sending an innocent man to prison for 18 years”

Chris Hayes was all kinds of awesome subbing for Rachel last night. Forget Lawrence O’Donnell, HE’s the one who needs a show of his own!

@adamblast: Absolutely agree! Besides the fact that Chris was just so yummy-cute this past week, his energy was infectious with his guests who all really responded to him, his command of the facts was in the calibur of Rachel herself, and his passion when discussing social injustices was nice to see as well.

Chris really came alive this past week going from commentator to host status. I hope to see much more of him on MSNBC in the future (maybe they could give him that slot where Hardball repeats twice in one night during primetime).
