November 5, 2010 By David

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...]

It started here. And tonight, it ended here.

November 3, 2010 By David

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...]

November 2, 2010 By damnthetorpedos

The results of todays voting in Massachusetts will reflect one of two things: those who believe in the success of the Commonwealth as a whole, and those who believe in the success of every-man-for-himself.  Wanting what's best for the … [Read more...]

Our Vision vs. Charlie Baker’s Vision

November 1, 2010 By governor-deval-patrick

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

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...]

Wondering how to help GOTV? All your questions answered.

October 30, 2010 By David

Here's what I said yesterday in a post about the latest polls: Patrick is ahead and should win - he has been ahead in every single independent poll published in this cycle.   But turnout is everything.  Everything.  A couple … [Read more...]

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...]

October 29, 2010 By David

Globe endorses Patrick in a remarkably eloquent editorial

October 27, 2010 By David

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...]
