October 19, 2011 By lynne 3 Comments

Hopefully you've had a chance to listen to our Left Ahead! podcast interview of Elizabeth Warren. (If not, please do, we went over a lot of important stuff!) I wasn't going to write about this, because it wasn't even worth the pixels it … [Read more...]

Scott Brown likes waterboarding

January 5, 2010 By doubleman 4 Comments

I'm not buying the new poll putting Scott Brown only 9 points behind Coakley, but maybe the race is much closer than I think it is.   This race should not be close; Scott Brown is not a good candidate.  He has been a typical … [Read more...]

I Pledge Not to Invade England

December 10, 2009 By JimC 5 Comments

Cross-posted from Blue News Tribune. Scott Brown has pledged not to raise taxes. Because, as we know, junior senators in the minority party are just handed the tax code as soon as they walk into the Senate. Maybe that's mean, and I should … [Read more...]

December 6, 2009 By doubleman 5 Comments

I read two recent newspaper endorsements for Martha Coakley.  One from the Brockton Enterprise and one from the Patriot Ledger. Coakley's campaign counts these as TWO separate endorsements.  I am not sure of the ownership … [Read more...]

THE SCOTT BROWN JOKE. (With poll!)

December 4, 2009 By Pablo 7 Comments

Face it, the Mass GOP has become a joke.  The national party is now dominated by social conservatives, who want the government to legislate morality.  It may work in the south and in Utah, but New England conservatives have … [Read more...]

The Proposed War Tax

December 4, 2009 By JimC 2 Comments

Cross-posted from Blue News Tribune. Alan Khazei gets credit for bringing this idea to the Senate race, though I didn't see it on his website. City Year co-founder Alan Khazei kicked off the primary campaign's final televised debate by … [Read more...]

Ride home tonight via an inland route, with a stop @sweetgreen. The improvements to cycling infrastructure on Tremont and around the Boston Common and Public Garden vs. what was there a year ago are incredible. Bravo to @BostonBTD + groups like @bostonbikeunion! (1 of 2) #bospoli

When Scott Brown won in January 2010, Alan Khazei told us, “you can’t read too much into it. It’s a special election!”

Bad result but good to keep in mind.

Looks like JEFF TURCO wins the race to replace former House Speaker Robert DeLeo in the 19th Suffolk District. JUAN PABLO JARAMILLO comes in second by just under 300 votes.

Yikes.

Adam Bass@AdamBassWCCS

The idea of a Pro Life Trump supporter winning Suffolk 19 is not out of the ordinary. Winthrop is particular is much more right leaning that Revere. And Revere got severely out voted. When Capobianco had his story, that left you with two progressives. #mapoli

.@CDCgov dir. @RWalensky, once part of MA's #COVID19 advsy board, said

"Now is not the time to relax the critical safeguards that we know can stop the spread of COVID-19 ... not when we are so close."

But @MassGovernor pushes to reopen.

Who is advising Gov. Baker now?
