Sorry Charlie, it wasn’t Tim’s fault

November 8, 2010 By David

MassINC's post-election poll (PDF) seems to have put the nail in the coffin of the tired idea (still pushed by Howie Carr & Co.) that Charlie Baker would be Governor-elect today, if it weren't for that blasted Tim Cahill. The numbers … [Read more...]

Deval 2.0 re-ups governing from the grassroots

November 7, 2010 By David

Today's Globe has an interesting interview with Governor Patrick - the whole thing is worth reading.  Of particular interest to BMGers, I thought, is this bit: [In 2007, legislative leaders] didn't like Patrick supporters trying to … [Read more...]

John Walsh: grassroots superhero

November 6, 2010 By David

Don't miss the excellent article in today's Globe about Mass. Dems chair and grassroots superhero John Walsh. There are many impressive things about how John turned disaster in January into triumph in November.  For me, perhaps the … [Read more...]

MA Republican whining begins in earnest

November 5, 2010 By David

Baker said he would have had to run a perfect race "in an ideal political environment" and that, by pulling 8 percent of the vote Tuesday, Cahill "made our already narrow window that much narrower." Ah yes, the old Howie Carr "it's all Tim … [Read more...]

Massachusetts: We did what needed to be done, now…

November 3, 2010 By damnthetorpedos

Random morning-after thoughts: polling works; Herald’s funny editorials; Schadenfreude

November 3, 2010 By David

In no particular order: Polling works.  It worked in 2006, and it worked this time too.  Yes, there was some variation.  Rasmussen, in particular, came out looking pretty bad in Massachusetts, as did the Globe's pollster at … [Read more...]
