This morning I came up with a clever solution to my dilemma of where to place my vote for governor on Tuesday. My heart says Jill, but my head says Shannon,...
That's a pretty good trick; how the hell do you do it with a coterminous ballot/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

Robert Reich will be coming to Lexington to rally support for Shannon O'Brien, Jay Kaufman and the entire Democratic ticket. He'll be speaking at Depot Square...
What "coterminous" means is that you cast one vote for both Gov & Lt Gov together; you have to vote the ticket. And I sympathize with your desire to vote your...

Here's Jay Kaufman's answer to that question: You and I are going to live in a state with either Shannon O'Brien or Mitt Romney as Governor, and the latter...
Allow me to belabor the point: I speak with some authority on this issue having been a lifelong Democrat, with a life that is almost certainly longer than that...
Am I glad you guys didn't win with Shannon. What a disgrace she was in the campaign. What would it be like in MA to have all three leaders just run the state...
Harry, It is nice to hear your opinion, but there are lots of pleasant ways to put signs up on lawns, in windows, etc. I disagree heartily with your opinion...
Talk about tiring political talk, this group surely is one-sided in favor of failed big-government spending by the disgraceful likes of Shannon O'Brien. Jed...
Dear Jim, You guys got what you deserted when you selected the carping Shannon. I have rarely heard anyone so mean-spirited as she was in the debates. Glad ...
... I think "disgraceful likes" is a bit much. Watch it, or I'll dust off my "capitalist pig" rhetoric for our new Governor. :-) In any case, it's nice to...
... OK. I'll bite: What is your opinion on the value of lawn signs? Do they add a lot more to an informed public than the multitude of car signs that appear...

The "A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Mitt Romney" fear campaign was successful in preventing Jill from determining the outcome of the election (Jill got 3%...

Mike, In many ways, votes for Jill are an affirmation of the principles held by the Democratic party. She articulated the views held by many Democrats and she...

Hi Irene, Sorry, to prolong this, but I would like to clarify why Jill would not run as a Democrat. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are funded by...
... First, if I remember what I read in the Minuteman, the police don't enforce the law with respect to _political_ signs because they know it would not stand...

Signs show involvement. That is good. They can be placed in such a way as to not just be blight. They also show that there is diversity in the community and...
Harry, I never mentioned Finneran directly. It is the whole fact that our state now has nearly no clout in Washington since the Republicans control all three...
Jed, ... I think it is quite impressive, and a testament to quality rising above mediocrity, that Jay Kaufman prevailed -- even in the face of the Finneran...
... I was shocked to find out about Finneran's gerrymandering and the sleazy way he did it. I'm one of the unlucky ones who's now out of Jay's district. I...
