MA Republican whining begins in earnest

November 5, 2010 By David 28 Comments

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...]

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

November 3, 2010 By David 12 Comments

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...]

It started here. And tonight, it ended here.

November 3, 2010 By David 36 Comments

Back in January, Scott Brown rocked the political world in Massachusetts and around the country by winning the Senate seat held for decades by Ted Kennedy.  There's no doubt that Brown's victory energized Republicans both here and … [Read more...]

Our Vision vs. Charlie Baker’s Vision

November 1, 2010 By governor-deval-patrick 23 Comments

So when you see Charlie rooting for the Commonwealth's failure, remember that it's a political tactic -- and it's wrong.  Most importantly, let it fuel you.  Let it drive you out to vote and help on Election Day.  Let it give … [Read more...]

New Suffolk Poll: Bellwether Waltham Goes Patrick

November 1, 2010 By hesterprynne Leave a Comment

Waltham, apparently, is regarded as an electoral bellwether, with a history of going with the winner.  Suffolk released a poll today that was taken over the weekend and shows Patrick up 47-40, with only 3 percent undecided.  The … [Read more...]

By the way, it’s still a tight race. Do not let up. [updated]

October 29, 2010 By David 8 Comments

Suffolk has Patrick up 7.  State House News has Patrick up 3.  Rasmussen has Patrick up 2.  UPDATE: And Western New England College has Patrick up 5. The message really couldn't be much clearer.  Patrick is ahead and … [Read more...]

New Suffolk poll: Patrick still up 7; ahead in fav/unfav; 59% expect him to win

October 29, 2010 By David 5 Comments

On the heels of Charlie Baker's effort to spin the news with another internal poll - quite an unsuccessful effort, I might add - Suffolk has released a new poll showing what basically all independent polls have shown recently: Patrick holds … [Read more...]

Baker’s own internal poll shows his campaign collapsing

October 28, 2010 By David 20 Comments

Our friends at RMG report that Charlie Baker's internal pollster shows the race as a dead heat at 40-40. This is, of course, terrible news for Team Baker. Why? Two reasons. One, the very same pollster had Baker at +7 two weeks ago, as the … [Read more...]

Globe endorses Patrick in a remarkably eloquent editorial

October 27, 2010 By David 1 Comment

The Globe has endorsed Deval Patrick for reelection.  That in itself is not much of a surprise.  What did surprise me, though, is how cogent, thoughtful, and passionate the editorial is.  I'm not always the biggest fan of the … [Read more...]

One of these things is not like the others …

October 26, 2010 By David 4 Comments

Check out this hilarious photo, from today's Herald, of last night's debate.  Do you notice something different about one of the candidates? Yeah, that's right.  Three of them are laughing or smiling.  And one of them looks … [Read more...]

A white nationalist neo-fascists group marched through #Boston July 4th weekend. Which one, no not Proud Boys or Oath Keepers indicted for seditious conspiracy, a spinoff of a group at Charlottesville unite the right rally https://theintercept.com/2022/06/17/jan-6-hearings-right-wing-white-nationalists/ #MaPoli #BosPoli

A mass shooting on the 4th of July in Philadelphia with fireworks in the background a few hours after a mass shooting in a Jewish suburb by a Trump supporter really adds to the rising fascism vibes.

WOW @MayorWu look at the GREAT 👀 example you’re setting to your peers… now they dont have to answer or acknowledge constituents.. you people must not want to be re-elected! #bospoli #mapoli #scum #SCREWWU #WuTrainWreck

Owner @nkboston12

The councilor blocks me because I question the tweets she posts or deletes. Never once did I use profanity or derogatory terms. Some of the posts she’s made legitimize radical actions or groups. I wonder if she realizes the pendulum swings “left” and “right?” #bospoli @Tania4D7

I’m Republican Caroline Colarusso running for Congress in Massachusetts 5th District. Our nation was shaped by the hard work and innovation of free individuals. Americans built this nation, not government. I’m asking for your vote this November. #america #usa #republican #mapoli
