And the wheels are coming off...

Actually, it seems to be a rather innocent mistake in that it appears to be some stock footage of "Wall Street" but nonetheless, that could be fatal.
I don't know how this all went to shit so fast but it feels just absolutely surreal.
I spent 4.5 years in Boston and I know the kind of people Brown's winning over. They were people like my boss who was a low information voter, a real nice guy, but still voted for Bush in 2004 because he was tired of Democrats controlling everything in Massachusetts. Policy-wise he was essentially a Moderate Democrat but he couldn't be convinced that Republicans really are "that bad."
The WTC ad is NOT going to go over well with people like that because they won't hear the message of Brown being a lockstep Republican or beholden to Wall Street. They'll just hear that Democrats used the WTC in an attack ad.
Everyone get out and help out because it seems that Coakley is utterly incapable of helping herself!
UPDATE: I've been corrected that this is really the DSCC's ad and they're the ones that messed this up. I take back my earlier criticism but still, this whole thing just symbolizes what a catasterfuck this race has become.
