Listen to Lonnie Brennan from “The Boston Broadside" on Jeff Kuhner’s show (680am WRKO) on State of MA politics. It starts from the beginning and goes for 20+ minutes.
2 major candidates, Scott Lively will challenge the current Governor Baker, that is stunning, he is going to Primary a sitting Governor.
Equally impressive is Geoff Diehl against Liz Warren. Lonnie’s money line abut Geoff is around 17:40 min mark. He thinks he he has got a chance against Liz Warren.
Note Geoff is a Trumpian candidate running in MA, this is not Scott Brown part deux. Wow, think of it, Liz Warren is potential not safe this cycle, that is huge, their will be no blue wave, it will be a red tide.
I used to live in Massachusetts and strange things can happen in elections there. I was a volunteer in the 2010 special election that Scott Brown won. Like the Trump campaign six years later, we were told that Brown had no chance whatsoever. But he won.
I think Stormy Warren is vulnerable this year, just as Martha Coakley was six years prior. Trump has made her a national laughingstock (with a local assist by Howie Carr).
SA76, add Jeff Kuhner to the local assist. With that said, they thought I was nuts with this post one month before the special election in 2010 for Scott Brown

From post no 72 in that thread:
Do you believe in Miracles!
That Scott Brown special election win was a special time. Would like nothing better than to see Stormy “Lizbeth” Warren tossed on her posterior this November!
Well now...
Jeff Kuhner had Geoff on today on his radio program. I tuned in late, however I did hear that a pole ( by Geoff?, yes I now commissioned ones can be problematic ) and it noted....
* Geoff is +14% amongst Independents.
* Geoff noted he * 2% points behind Liz Warren
If this is true, it will not be a Blue Wave but a Red Tsunami, it is only July 2nd, if he is even money, what does that mean to all the potential pick up seats and what happens to them politically between now and November, can you imagine the continued slide in their numbers?
BTW Foka went full in t'day aka Abolish ICE. Ya that is gonna go over real big any blue collar in MA still trying to make ends meet, even in the Trump MAGAconomy as the MA Legislature enacted a huge tax increase that will negate any positive effects of the tax cuts to the residents of MA. How can that not be on purpose.
The audio of today's show, you can look for the audio in the 1st and late 2nd hrs I believe:
What candidate enters a race and says they don't have a chance of beating their opponent? I wouldn't count Warren out yet.
Point taken, however when I started this thread all I got was NFW, just like when Scott Brown ran for the "Kennedy Seat". It would be a Hail Mary pass, but this year? All I can say is why the hell not, why doesn't Goeff have a chance...
Because it's Massachusetts. A state that Trump lost by 27 points.
I can think of a few names for her dog but I'll refrain because I like dogs too much.
I sense a red wave this November. I hesitate to say Tsunami because I don't want to jinx things.
Aw hell. Now I gotta worry about a 40/60% chance of the sun going supernova in November.
Anyway, someone photoshopping this w/ MAGA hats on the Elephants and so much more could catch on like wild fire. If the 4 or 8 chan dudes are following this thread, I could see them running with it, pun intended!
XP38 may be as you say but when I signed up here at least for me it was an obscure Star Wars reference. Luke mentions it just after he has sold his landspeeder.
Warren is vulnerable, she’s not as popular as most think. There’s a pretty sizeable slice of the electorate (I’d guess 35%) who can’t stand her. Having said that Diehl has no shot (he was trump co-chair in 16, and Trump is not popular at all in Mass.) the person with the best shot at Stormy is Beth Lindstrom who is running against Diehl in the GOP primary on Sept 4. Don’t get me wrong, I like Diehl, was with him on the gas tax repeal a couple of years ago, but Warren would easily overwhelm him (trump ties, going after a woman...) Beth has a shot, not a good one, but the only realistic one at Warren.
Which means 65% of the electorate can stand her. No way she loses.
She’s the favorite, no doubt, but I’d say her hard core base is somewhere between 40 -45 %, no way she’d ever drop below the low 40’s. The rest are potentially up for grabs, not easily done, but possible, for the right candidate.
A mini radio debate between Geoff Diehl, vs. former Romney cabinet member Beth Lindstrom vs. businessman John Kingston to take on Liz Warren...

* A link to the Jeff Kuhner Monologue.
* Which will have his interview w/ Geoff Deihl ( Trumpian candidate for the Senate in Massachusetts )
* And this is about Liz Warren and her comments this weekend and how it is ticking off the Police and Police Chiefs in the State of MA.
Warren vs Diehl, GRAB the popcorn!
GONE
