Globe’s [nice words for] Dennis Benzan

By

From the Globe’s endorsement today:

Also worthy of consideration is Dennis Benzan, another Cambridge lawyer. With good reason, Benzan argues that Democrats should look for candidates outside traditional political circles, and his willingness to consider merit pay for teachers is encouragingly iconoclastic.

While the Globe did, in fact, endorse Flaherty, they clearly wanted to endorse Dennis Benzan.  No other candidate was mentioned, and they did not have the most flattering things to say about Flaherty.  They were also sure to mention his father’s problem.

If the adage “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” Flaherty is not the right choice.  Benzan, on the other hand, is proud that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  His parents raised him not only by telling him what was right and wrong, but by demonstrating and doing what was right.

  1. The Globe endorsed Flaherty. The Globe did not “endorse” Dennis Benzan, as you put in your title. I don’t think you meant to deceive readers, but that’s how it came across.  

    • I wasn’t trying to deceive anyone, though I did want to point out that the Globe’s only mention of another candidate was Dennis.  It really makes you wonder…

      I saw you today on Urban Update, which is a nice show with great topics. Anyway, I enjoyed listening to you.

      I am not from your voting area, am staying in Arlington at my Aunt’s house due to unemployment for over a year. I came out here from Central Mass., Lancaster area to find work and hope to return because I love the country type areas more.

      However, I believe that you will be a great state Senator if you are voted in. You seem really nice, and motivated to help real working people. I prayed for you and will continue to do so. Please always be a true champion of regular people. Mass. needs good politicians who listen, provide jobs, lessen taxes and unnecessary spending, and who are willing to spend wisely if it means helping our citizens.

      What you had to say makes sense. No one is doing anything in Mass. to create jobs, good jobs with decent pay that anyone can get, instead of low wage jobs with no career path, and we need truly affordable or free higher education and job training. You already need to be rich or have a good paying job to afford college!

      I wish I could vote for you. If you mail me a sticker, I could put it on my car so people would see it as I drive around.

      Good Luck and God Bless you,

      p>Dennis has the momentum!
