Here’s what I don’t get about John Edwards

January 6, 2008 By David

We all know John Edwards' basic pitch, by this point.  You can't cut deals with powerful special interests; you can't give them a place at the table.  You've got to shut them out.  From my inbox: I don't believe you can sit … [Read more...]

A great night for the Democrats

January 6, 2008 By David

As the only remaining uncommitted BMG front-pager, here's my assessment.  No one did "badly," and no one made any big mistakes that I caught (except when Richardson said he'd negotiate with the "Soviet Union" -- oopsie).   I'd say … [Read more...]

Hittin’ the streets for Edwards

January 4, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

Since Bob is properly shilling for his candidate, I'll just mention a couple of events in passing. Let's make NH a real tussle.---- Town Hall with John Edwards Friday January 4th, 2008 - 6:30pm Portsmouth Town Hall with … [Read more...]

Iowassessment — Democrats

January 3, 2008 By David

No two ways about it.  Tonight is a huge, huge night for Barack Obama, and a terrible, terrible night for Hillary Clinton (who it appears will finish third by a whisker) and -- especially -- John Edwards (who really needed a win or at … [Read more...]

Jim Wallis sees a sea change in faith and politics

January 3, 2008 By mike-chelmsford

On the Democratic side, I hear great appreciation for John Edwards' passionate and persistent commitment to make poor people a political priority and his challenging the control of the wealthy and powerful over our political process. I hear … [Read more...]

John Edwards calls for 10 month Iraq exit

January 2, 2008 By mike-chelmsford

More from the article: Edwards staked out a position that would lead to a more rapid and complete troop withdrawal than his principal rivals, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, who have indicated they are open to keeping … [Read more...]

I’m endorsing John Edwards (finally)

January 1, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

We're up against more than the military-industrial complex that exercises undue influence over our political decision-making: Now we've got a "medical-industrial complex" (in Jon Kingsdale's phrase), one-sixth of our economy … [Read more...]

Obama: Bean-bag or judo?

December 29, 2007 By Charley on the MTA

I don't mean to hijack the discussion going on on David Eisenthal's Obama-endorsement thread, but I'd like to state what I'm sure I *don't* know. It is possible, I think, to acknowledge the concerns of … [Read more...]

Have You Read the Headlines?

December 3, 2007 By maytak

Have you seen the headlines? The squabble to be first in deciding the nation's fate is intensifying. Early states are cleverly inching their primaries in a race to secure voting influence for their citizens. By the end of February, we'll … [Read more...]

A huge pleasure to join @RepDylan as he launched the #Massachusetts Friends of UK Legislative Caucus at the home of the @FCDOPeterAbbott. It was wonderful to talk about how we can collaborate to benefit constituents and deepen long-standing ties! #mapoli

If you're familiar with #mapoli I have questions for you!

My intern is applying for an internship there - obvs I'm thrilled. 😊 What should she know about how the MA legislature is staffed? What other essential knowledge would you pass along?

It's April in #mapoli which means budget season is in full swing. The House will soon pitch a tax relief proposal alongside their 2024 fiscal plan.
