How's this for arrogance? When asked by the Globe why she has been keeping such a low public profile, Joakley replied "What do you want me to do? Stand outside Fenway Park and shake peoples' hands?"

Well, yeah Martha. Isn't that what politicians do during campaigns? Scott Brown has been out (in Massachusetts) every day during this race. He's actually going into Democratic stronghold areas and trying reach out to people. Joakley's biggest public appearance was in DC at a fundraiser where she met with healthcare lobbyists.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
