Hillary Clinton appears with Coakley in Boston

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.

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.

Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren could be vying against each other for the Democratic presidential nomination (or so some would like to believe), but the two politicians had only kind words for one another on Friday at a rally in Massachusetts for embattled gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley.

Warren kept her remarks about Clinton short. "I am happy to welcome Secretary Clinton back to the Commonwealth," using the majority of her time on stage praising Coakley and highlighting her fight against big banks.

Clinton, meanwhile, was effusive in her praise for the senator.

"I am so pleased to be here with your senior senator, passionate champion for working class people and middle class families, Elizabeth Warren," Clinton said. "I love watching Elizabeth, you know, give it to those who deserve to get it. Standing up not only for you, but people with the same needs and the same wants across the country. Great pleasure to be here in a state with such a great tradition of leadership"

Clinton told the crowd that backstage, she and Warren shared stories about being grandmothers.

Warren, who has in the past said she's not running for president, recently sounded more open to the possibility. Meanwhile, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee continues to push for support of the "Elizabeth Warren wing" of the Democratic party.

It remains to be seen whether two of the most famous women in American politics today can help Coakley gain more traction with voters by Election Day -- the latest poll shows her trailing her Republican opponent by nine points.

Clinton praises Warren, not vice versa

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- When Hillary Clinton joins candidates across the country, there is a standard formula for those introducing her: Rev up the crowd, tout candidates on the ballot, speak positively about Hillary Clinton.

It appears Sen. Elizabeth Warren didn't get the message.

When Warren and Clinton both stumped for Martha Coakley, Massachusetts' Democratic candidate, in Boston on Friday, Warren barely mentioned the former secretary of state.

"Happy to welcome Secretary Clinton back to the commonwealth," Warren said, firing up the crowd. "We love it!"

Warren has seen an uptick in speculation that she will run for president lately. While the senator has said she isn't running for president, she has left the door open and has continually dodged question about Clinton. The reason: If Warren were to run, she would likely face Clinton, the former secretary of state is widely seen as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton, by comparison, was effusive in her praise of Warren, the pride of many liberals because of her commitment to take on Wall Street and big banks.
