   Hillary Clinton and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren are   
   in town to campaign on behalf of Martha Coakley, and that boost   
   couldn’t come at a better time for the Democratic gubernatorial   
   candidate.   
      
   The visit comes a day after Republican candidate Charlie Baker   
   took a nine-point lead — 45 percent to 36 percent — in the   
   latest poll from The Boston Globe. That’s a major shift from   
   just last week, when the two candidates were virtually tied.   
      
   Importantly, Coakley’s lead among women voters shrunk to just   
   four percentage points in the poll, down from an 11-point margin   
   last week. What better way to get those female support numbers   
   back up than with rousing speeches from Clinton and Warren?   
      
   The former Secretary of State is popular among women, and Warren   
   can throw her own considerable weight (and her own potential   
   presidential candidacy) behind Coakley’s campaign as well.   
      
   That’s not to mention Clinton and Warren’s fundraising abilities   
   would be a boon to Coakley’s slim coffers. Coakley has had a   
   string of high-profile fundraising events alongside political   
   figures already in the campaign. Michelle Obama’s raised   
   $150,000 in an event earlier this month, and Bill Clinton   
   campaigned for Coakley in Worcester in a speech last week. Vice   
   President Joe Biden is also expected to fundraise for Coakley in   
   Dorchester next Wednesday.   
      
   Governor Deval Patrick and Massachusetts senator Ed Markey are   
   also expected to speak at the event.
