Martha Coakley and her husband Thomas F. O’Connor, Jr. pose with their dogs.
Thomas is a retired police officer.

Coakley resides in Medford, Massachusetts, with her husband, Thomas F. O’Connor, Jr.
Today Tom’s old work buddies the Cambridge Police Patrol Officers Association slammed Martha Coakley for assuming they supporter her and endorsed Scott Brown for United States Senator.
Legal Insurrection reported the news.

The 212 member Cambridge Police Patrol Officers Association voted to endorse State Senator Scott Brown for United States Senator in next Tuesday’s election against Attorney General Martha Coakley. CPSOA’s President released the following letter today:
All Members,
Members of our Association have inquired and requested that we endorse Scott Brown in the upcoming election against Martha Coakley. Ms. Coakley along with some of her campaign workers have talked publicly about how her husband is a retired Cambridge Police Officer, giving appearances that she is being endorsed by the Cambridge Police. This may be an innocent insinuation but most do take this as our giving her our support and endorsement. Yesterday, the CPPOA Executive Board voted to endorse State Senator Scott Brown in the upcoming election for US Senate. In an 11 to 2 vote, the Executive Board voted overwhelmingly in favor of the endorsement. We do not endorse anyone who advocates changes in the health care that take away any bargaining rights or increases our cost along with our contributions. Senator Brown does not support the Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Bill and promises to be the 41st vote to ensure its defeat.
That hurts.

let’s hope Brown wins
JDubya commented:
How come all these Democrat couples have completely different last names? I mean, they don’t even hyphenate the names. It is like it is more a legal contract, or ruse, if you grew up amongst lawyers all your life.
Just noticing a trend that somehow bothers me. A lot.

And – because of the “insinuation” suggestion – this story will get a LOT of play in Massachusetts.
I have to give Brown’s campaign major props here; they peaked at the right time, struck back accurately and forcefully, and the support they’ve garnered is astounding, considering that Massachusetts has always been a Democrat stronghold.
Coakley’s campaign? Not so much. Even if she should win, her campaign has been a MAJOR FAIL.

Of course I meant schilling

For the Cambridge Police Department payback is a delicious flavor and has a more wonderful aroma than a cheap beer in DC.
