Lehigh on Patrick: actually, he’s done a pretty good job

January 27, 2010 By David

Scot Lehigh's op-ed in today's Globe lays out some useful points about Governor Patrick's tenure -- and about his predecessors in office.  Bottom line: The derisive narrative about Patrick has grown stale. Yes, he's made some clumsy … [Read more...]

By the way, we were (sort of) on Rachel Maddow

January 23, 2010 By David

Just wanted to quickly flag that on the day before election day, Rachel Maddow did a long segment on the Senate race, during which she replayed several times our video of Scott Brown openly doubting the marriage of President Obama's … [Read more...]

Coming soon: the 2010 election for Governor of Massachusetts — brought to you by GE!

January 23, 2010 By David

OK, so having declared Charlie Baker a loser on Tuesday, it's easy enough to declare him a winner on Thursday. Why? Because Charlie Baker is the candidate the corporations are most likely to love.  And on Thursday, the Supreme Court … [Read more...]

Who else lost on Tuesday?

January 22, 2010 By David

It's the hottest game in town: listing the winners and losers from Tuesday's election. My pick for one of the losers: Charlie Baker. Sure, the election can be seen as an ominous warning to Deval Patrick.  But, first of all, that's a … [Read more...]

A (modest) silver lining

January 22, 2010 By David

Believe it or not, some good things will come out of Tuesday's debacle.  There will be plenty of time to talk about what they are and how to take advantage of them.  For now, here's one: in the last three days, we've seen an … [Read more...]

Supreme Court opens the floodgates to corporate and union money in elections

January 21, 2010 By David

This is huge, folks.  The Supreme Court today, by the totally predictable 5-4 vote, overruled a 20-year old case and held, instead, that corporations and unions may use money from their treasuries to make independent election-related … [Read more...]

Did you know that “Arianna definitely is not available, but Ayler is”?

January 21, 2010 By David

Scott Brown on victory night. Unbelievable.  The daughters are clearly embarrassed; Arianna looks absolutely livid.  Gail Huff screams "STOP!!" at the top of her lungs.  The whole thing is so appalling that Glenn Beck, of … [Read more...]

Joe Malone may challenge Bill Delahunt

January 20, 2010 By David

And so it begins: Scott Brown's win yesterday will predictably embolden Republicans around the state, who otherwise probably wouldn't have bothered.  The word today is that former state Treasurer Joe Malone is seriously considering a … [Read more...]

So many ironies

January 19, 2010 By David

There's lots to say about what happened today, but I need a little time to get my brain around it. But this is -- I hope -- a sure thing: despite Scott Brown's promise to be the 41st vote against "Obamacare," he won't be.  There will … [Read more...]

Can you walk? If so, the Coakley campaign needs you NOW

January 19, 2010 By David

UPDATE: OK, the latest is that they don't need drivers.  What they need is people to canvass, especially in the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area.  If you are free this afternoon or evening, call Matt at 617-794-8163, or call the … [Read more...]
