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
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!
