Union workers paid to stump for Coakley in Massachusetts – Video

I did spell Massachusetts correctly right? Lots of news today from the Martha Coakley versus Scott Brown special election for United States Senate. During the debate last night, some “supporters” of Coakley were paid $50 to stand outside in the cold in support of “their” candidate for Senate.

Funny thing is, at least one of them planned to vote for Brown. The video is getting slammed with traffic right now, so be patient… “if they want their $50, they do what their told”.

Hat tip to Michelle Malkin who also has a story from yesterday. AP posts at Hot Air and wonders if this fits the definition of astroturfin’.

Crap … I spelled Massachusetts correctly but have been messing up Attorney General Martha Coakley’s name. Fixed, and my apologies.
