One, the agit-prop about health care reform from conservatives that too many believe:
Chris Carpenter, an information technology manager from Brookline, an upscale Boston suburb, voted for Obama, but no one speech would win back his support.
"I believed I was voting for a centrist," he said. "Now he wants a health care bill that would monopolize one-sixth of the economy by having the government manage a private enterprise. That would be a disaster."
The second is the emotional factor of likability, something Coakley lacks:
"It's like she's a warm body trying to fill an empty seat. She doesn't show enough of a feel for people," said Heidi Bone, a Boston graphic designer.
"She's fine, but she comes off as cold and unapproachable," said Tammy Brynie, a labor organizer having breakfast at the restaurant.
"I don't feel I know enough about her," said Newton restaurant manager Barry Levinson, a Democrat. "I just don't have a comfortable feeling about her."
