Coakley’s Great Handshake Tour

The Boston Globe looks at Martha Coakley’s (D) bid for Massachusetts governor in which she “embarked on what could fairly be called the Great Handshake Tour of 2013, pumping palm after palm in a frenetic display designed to lay to rest memories of her failed 2010 Senate race when she famously disdained shaking hands outside Fenway Park in the cold.”

“The message is clear: Coakley insists she has learned the lessons from her lackluster Senate race and will showcase a harder-working side of herself.”
