BOSTON (
MyFoxBoston.com) -- More outside help is on the way for gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley.
On Friday afternoon, Hillary Clinton appeared with Coakley at a campaign event in Boston at the Park Plaza hotel. The crowd cheered as Clinton took the stage.
Clinton said Coakley has "prepared for this all her life" and that she will make voters proud. Clinton, the presumptive frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination is the latest major Democrat to visit the Commonwealth to energize a turnout at the polls at a time when Democrats fear many will stay home.
"From my perspective, it shouldn't even be a race," Clinton said.
Senator Elizabeth Warren also took the stage in support of Coakley.
Despite the talk of a potential 2016 presidential bid for Warren, Clinton had nothing but praise for her sharing stories about their grandchildren and Warren's work in the senate.
"I love watching Elizabeth, you know, give it to those who deserve to get it," she said.
Just last week former President Bill Clinton spoke in Worcester for Coakley, and weeks before that, First Lady Michelle Obama.
But all this support raises some questions about why Coakley should need the outside help.
Clinton's visit comes at a particularly challenging time for Coakley, after a new Globe poll shows her down by nine points. Coakley's advisors call the poll and "outlier" and they insist it's a dead heat.
Baker's campaign calls it a sign of momentum, something Coakley is hoping to lock up with this visit.
Baker campaigned in the western part of the state Friday.
