If you want on or off my poll ping list, let me know!
Would the Globe or Herald report that?
No way. Why? The Boston Globe is a Clinton/O'Brien mouthpiece
which daily attacks President Bush and US allies as it promotes Islam.
5.
You don't suppose that the Globe feels Romney would be more likely to make program cuts? And that the Globe is trying to influence this close race by flagging the pain and suffering of people who depend on state social programs? They wouldn't do that in such a blatant way, would they?

She is a major turnoff in the sense that she comes across as vicious.
and then some.
I can understand this reduction in female support for O'Brien.
As a woman, I'd embarrass myself if I voted for a whiner like O'Brien.
Camps spar over Romney word choice [Hillary tries to alter English]
[O'Brien] is acting like a very touchy, very paranoid feminist.Come to think of it, we are left to decide between two explanations for O'Brien's choice to be offended.Shannon O'Brien ([aka] Mrs. R. Emmet Hayes), Hillary Rodham-Clinton, and Teresa Simões-Ferreira Heinz-Kerry have chosen to view Romney's words as an attack on the idea of women in politics.
I agree. She certainly had a very hard time expressing warmth, friendliness, openness or maturity.
She should go home and practice before a mirror some more, like Hillary does.
I've gotten my MN and MA elections confused.
The feminists do seem to be running scared.
They are avoiding substantive issues and going back to the "headline grabbing" routines they employed back in the glory days of public bra-burnings .
They must be in worse shape than is immediately apparent.
I imagine Betty Friedan is looking more disturbed than ever, as she wanders the streets of Sag Harbor, NY.
by Cathleen Rountree
What better way to celebrate my fiftieth birthday than to spend it interviewing Betty Friedan? On my way out to her home in Sag Harbor on Long Island, New York, I imagined a pleasant, stimulating tête-à-tête with a catalyst of the second wave of feminism. An earlier telephone call had made me anxious about what to expect, when she was unfamiliar with me, my work, and the purpose of my upcoming visit. I had often heard from those who had previous experience with her that Betty was difficult, but just what that meant, I hadnt known, exactly. So I had attributed her uninformed state to an overly hectic schedule.Are you George? Betty asked me when she opened the door. Not the last time I looked, I answered, somewhat puzzled. It wasnt until we sat down in her living room that I understood: George was George, the magazine of politics and popular culture, which was also interviewing Betty that same week. .....
Our interview had a rather rocky start, including a few accusations on Bettys part that I felt were unwarranted: You obviously suffer from ageism; Youre operating from an obsolete concept; I said what I said, not what I didnt say.
