From an old friend:

Scott Brown is the 2007 New York Giants (plucky, shouldn’t be there, given no chance) and “Marsha” Coakley is the New England Patriots (long winning streak, wildly overconfident, allegations of cheating). The Coakley goon pushing the reporter was David Tyree’s helmet-catch (how lucky that a camera caught it?!) and any number of other Coakley gaffes were Eli Manning’s perfect pass to Plaxico for the winning score. Your Massachusetts readers will likely want to cling to their Red Sox analogies, but this one is far more apt — it’s the hard-nosed working class guys against the entrenched elite.
