Via Jammie Wearing Fool who says, "Heckuva job, Martha." In the paid-for line, Coakley's campaign writes:

Paid for by Massachusettes Democratic Party and Authorized by Martha Coakley for Senate. Approved by Martha Coakley.

For a campaign with little momentum and zero excitement surrounding it, this can't be helpful in convincing Independent voters that she's not just going through the motions to be ushered into "Teddy's seat."

National Review flags the photo of Rush Limbaught that Coakley used in the same ad.
