I worked in the Boston market for several years, and remember many a presser with then, DA Martha Coakley. Knowing that political scene fairly well it was no surprise to me that she was up for Senator Ted Kennedy’s seat upon his passing, and like the rest of the state, I pretty much figured she had it in the bag. Scott Brown was relatively unknown, far behind in the polls and most of all– a Republican. What a turn of events. This is the interview I did with FOX Boston’s Martin Morenz before the polls closed.
Lighter side note– after work last night I was catching up on TV shows and thumbing through my iPhone at the same time. My husband sent me a text saying that Scott Brown had a journalist wife and a home in the Berkshires, so I decided to google him and learn more about this new US Senator when I discovered his daughter, Ayla, was on American Idol in Season 5. Is there ANY news story that show doesn’t creep into?

Well, obviously, even after all those “pressers”, none of your winning personality rubbed off on her.

Presser could be someone who irons or as we in the “biz” call it a press conferance!! I hope American Idol doesnt rear its ugly head into KL’s spa room!!! That would be just too tacky!!!!
