Eye On Freedom – Keeping a watchful eye on the preservation of our liberty at home and freedom around the world

In the City of Boston, roughly 150,000 people voted in the special election on Tuesday, approximately the same number that voted when Ted Kennedy was re-elected in 2006. By comparison, approximately 200,000 people voted in the 2008 election that re-elected John Kerry. Not only did Kerry and Kennedy win higher vote percentages than Coakley, 85-15 v 70-30, despite a last minute campaign trip by Obama and millions of dollars in campaign contributions and a massive infusion of political operatives, but Obama was unable to turn out any additional voters for Coakley despite the intense national interest in the race.
