I have been supporting Sean Garballey, and continue to do so – going back to a hotly contested Democratic Primary. However, I think the system is better and more honest when there is a true contest of ideas between Democrats, Republicans, and yes, independents like Robert Valeri. Governance is the better for competition.

You may think it’s good to have a real race.
<
p>In this district, where being the Democratic nominee, is usually an express ticket to the statehouse, a real race advertises the weakness of the Democratic candidate.
<
p>This is Jim Marzilli’s seat. There’s lots of Democrats voting for Worden with hopes of getting a more qualified candidate in November.
<
p>WORDEN in MARCH
a good DEMOCRAT in NOVEMBER
who REALLY thinks the best way to a more progressive statehouse is give the republicans a free seat in the 23rd?
Elect the little lamb, soon to be the pet of DeMasi and the lobbyists, and you won’t have a progressive for very long. Better to get someone with a backbone and some experience.
look at romney and mccain for example. two
matureaged guys, neither of which have the backbone to stick by their convictions two campaigns in a row. (“honorable” veteran mccain’s recent vote that would allow the cia to continue using torture really, really disgusts me. just i though you should know.)The stories may be equal, but the endorsement was for the Republican. In Arlington. Pretty bad when a Republican is competitive in Arlington.
