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...]

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...]

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...]

This is it Folks…

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...]

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

October 29, 2010 By David

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

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...]

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...]

As David Ismay famously said, the goal is to “break their will” and “turn the screws on” ordinary people. The ordinary people as the “person across the street” and the “senior on fixed income.”

The #HousingCrisis & the #ClimateCrisis must be addressed together. We can no longer let our communities, particularly black & brown communities, be displaced by speculative investors buying up properties & jacking up rent.

Morning, Mass. ☀️ Engagement is down across the #mapoli & #bospoli hashtags, new @LegislataApp data show. Is Twitter still useful for pols/activists? We asked @JonathanCohn & Boston Mayor @wutrain. Plus:
— Boston evictions spike
— Grappling w/climate goals https://politi.co/3yXRgkN

We could improve our solar + farming (agrivoltaics) program and IX situation :) so we can actually get MWs in the ground while keeping farmers farming for another generation. #mapoli 1000MW+ of solar in the SMART program stalled in MA.

The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe

An alarming new report on climate change raises a difficult question for Massachusetts, already ahead of most states on climate policy. Is it even possible to move faster? https://trib.al/qHy7zwc

“What if I told you… this wasn’t a question of how liberal we are? 🙄 Or that what happens to literally five one-hundred-thousandths of a percent of the Earth’s surface area…. won’t matter for the planet’s mean surface temperature at all? #mapoli

Sabrina Shankman @shankman

On Monday, UN Sec-Gen. @antonioguterres said that in response to the dire IPCC report, developed nations should aim for net-zero by 2040. That's 10 years before MA's goal, so we asked the question: In liberal MA, is it even possible to move faster?
