What will you be doing one week from right now?
The most important date in this election isn’t, as Massachusetts Democrats want us to believe, 1991, or 1998, or even this Tuesday, Election Day. The date you should focus on like a laser beam is Thursday.
Tuesday you vote. Wednesday is the postgame show. But Thursday will be the first day you fully comprehend the consequences. How are you going to feel if the Massachusetts you wake up to that morning is exactly like the one you’re living in today?
How will you feel if, after four years of higher taxes and broken promises from Deval Patrick, he’s been re-elected and you’re looking at another four years of the same?
How will it feel to see Barney Frank and John Tierney grinning into the cameras and gloating that the national wave that swept away their fellow incumbents couldn’t reach them here?
When the same hacks are walking the same halls of Beacon Hill, having played us all for chumps yet again, will you be proud . . . or humiliated? Will you feel as foolish if we vote down the sales tax cuts today as you did after we voted down the income tax repeal two years ago?
Democrats don’t want you to think about Thursday. That’s why they’ve filled the airwaves with attack ads about the distant past: A Halloween yard sign two years ago; a memo from 1998; a confrontation in a cranberry bog on a dark night two decades ago.
These are the issues Democrats want to talk about, and they will all become completely irrelevant the instant you cast your ballot. Re-elect the incumbents, and you won’t be reading anything about these “vital issues” in Thursday’s paper. Nobody will care.
Instead you’ll hear what you’ve...

Massachusetts looks set to go with the GOP wave.
Deval Patrick’s histoire and several congressional Democrats may be bumped from their seats.
The Brown-out continues in the Bay State.
Great article....I hope I’m wrong but i believe liberalism goes clean to the bone in Massachusetts!!
That’s what they said when a guy named Scott Brown ran for the Kennedy seat.
They voted for a Republican anyway. Heck, MA is more of a bell-wether state today than CA!
It would be so sweet to see Barney Frank swept out of office!
Sweeter to see him behind bars.
Careful. Barney might enjoy that...
I don't care if he enjoys it or not. He'll be away from the public.
It would be sweet, but odds are at least 9 or our 10 Democrat reps will survive and 10 is a clear likelihood. It looks like Deval will retain his seat, thanks to straw candidate Cahill. Sucks.
As long as he doesn’t so it in the street and scare the horses ....
It really sucks. On November 3rd when the whole country is celebrating, we in the land of MASS. confusion will feel horribly left out... =(
Cheer up there will be plenty of good feelings to go around!!
