June 3, 2010 By shirleykressel 5 Comments

April 16, 2010 By shirleykressel 8 Comments

Deval and the Unions: Part 2

March 13, 2010 By fredtsmurch 19 Comments

For whatever reason the Mass AFL-CIO seems to be dominated by the hysterical police and fire unions. This story in the Globe today: Some patrolmen object to paper's Obama depictions  is illustrative. If one ever gets a chance to read … [Read more...]

Cahill Runs Right

January 6, 2010 By bostonlawyer 1 Comment

As a Democrat likely supporting Charlie Baker, I may be too quick to see rainbows in what could arguably be a rain cloud.  However, as insignificant as these picks generally are, Loscocco gives Baker more room to pick up disillusioned … [Read more...]

NY Times: Early Dazzle, Then Tough Path for a Governor

March 26, 2008 By mannygoldstein 4 Comments

NY Times article that compares Deval to Barack - sort of a cautionary tale. While I recognize that there are obvious parallels between both men, I see them as being entirely different creatures.  Deval has turned out to be pretty much … [Read more...]

Deval’s right…we need a SecEd

February 8, 2008 By sabutai 10 Comments
