They knew what they were doing and I was impressed but i didn't realize that Alex had his own team until yesterday. I looked at their website its got some really solid ideas in terms of strategy.

Howie Carr of WRKO Boston has posted a new Mary Jo Kopechne photo at http://fatboy.cc/live_from_chappaquiddick.htm This is the first new Mary Jo Photo since 1969 to appear.

It's late morning on a brisk day in downtown Boston, and Angelo R. Buonopane, the state's director of the Department of Labor, steps out of his office building. He looks right, he looks left, in front of him, and behind him. Then Buonopane starts strolling up Washington Street, returning to work 40 minutes later with a shopping bag from one of his favorite haunts, Filene's Basement. An hour later, Buonopane emerges from his office again, and this time heads for a two- hour, 12-minute lunch at his North End home. Buonopane returns to the office, for 37 minutes, then heads...

Joan Vennochi said - "The day after the election, a group of women was sitting shiva in my health club locker room. Huddled together, they asked, `How could Kerry have lost? How could Americans be so stupid?' I meekly asked the most vocal if she thought everyone who voted for Bush was stupid. `Yes,' she said. `Stupid, stupid, stupid.' "I guess that makes me stupid. I'm one of those nameless people in Massachusetts with a full set of teeth and lots of education who voted for Bush and won't tell anyone. Not even my best friend who lives 2,000 miles...

During one of the Secession threads...I came across this piece in the Constitution: Amendment 14 / Article 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection...

BOSTON (Reuters) - Democrats are lining up to take John Kerry's seat in the U.S. Senate should he win the White House, while Republicans in Massachusetts won't even discuss the possibility in public.

Every republican should by Fahrenhype 9/11. Then they should have a party watching first MOOREs movie and then the rebuttal. This is the best way to get liberals to see Fahrenhype, because you will tell them that you will watch Fahrenheit 9/11 if they do so. None of them want to admit that they won't listen to both sides of the story. So they will come. (I suggest also copying Stolen Honor onto a cd or dvd to show afterwards). I am doing this at work in California and I have got a lot of people together to watch them...

What kind of recourse is there for a Massachusetts resident to get Sen Kerry to be held accountable for being out of the office so much? His record in the last year has been deplorable. I would be willing to cut him a little slack. The problem is two things... 1)His has taken it to a new level. I can't find anyone that can come close to his lack of performance. He almost certainly tops(or bottoms depending on how you look at it) the list. 2)His record over the years is not something to be proud of. He has shown...

Red Sox Fans for Truth UPDATE!!! "At the fundraiser, Kerry reflected on his reborn self. He praised the triple victories of the Jets, Giants and Yankees and said: 'I came here to bask in your glory, came here to grab onto that winning streak.'" (Washington Post, 9/22/04) "You guys had a big weekend, I tell you, Jets, Giants and Yankees, three in a row," said Mr. Kerry, whose last visit to New York was for a speech at Cooper Union the week before the Republican National Convention. "I just came here to bask in your glory a little bit. Most...

Hello My name is Mary Jo Kopechne. I would have been 65 years of age this year. Read about me and my killer below: When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past. But now that he's become Sen. John Kerry's leading campaign attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over. It's time for the GOP to stand up and remind America why Sen. Kerry's chief spokesman had to abandon...

Gannett Fails One-Newspaper Communities/Counties- Port Huron Times Herald a Queue for Government Intervention? In particular, with today’s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I’ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties. There appears to be an immediate need to make certain legislation be brought requiring corporate newspapers to better report news and serving the communities they cover. At a crucial time with the 2004 Primary literally days away- this particular newspaper,...

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents. The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records. Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to...

I've seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I'm mostly using information from DC POLITICAL REPORT and POLITICS1. STATES Alabama DISTRICT 3 - The other Mike Rogers (R) won in 02 with 50.3% over Democrat Joe Turnham(48.2%) in an open seat. So far, it looks as he is facing Democrat Bill Fuller, Ex-State Human Resources Commissioner. I haven't heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest.

He said the other day that he voted for the 87 billion for Iraq before he voted against it. Wha' Happened?

Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday's Spanish elections. The "conventional wisdom" is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the "News Media's" thinking is neither conventional nor wise. What all the various activists miss is the reality of American Exceptionalism. As much as the International Political Left hates, and try's to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...

The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...

http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/6/121052.shtml Well isn't this intresting. The "objective news media" supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush's ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry's wife. Please take a moment and vist the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC etc to email the Omsbudsman, the Publisher, the News Editor and demand to know why they allowed clearly partisan advocates of Kerry's Presidential Campaign were presented on their "News" programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the "News Media" be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.

http://www.georgewbush.com/tvads/ Here is a link to the 1st three Bush Re-election ads. As expected the DNC directed its "Objective News Media" mouthpieces at CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC to generate phoney hysteria about these ads. Compared to the demogagery and lies spread by the Kerry Campaign, Moveon.org and the DNC about Bush for the last 6 months, this is probably the mildest sets of ads that have run so far this political season. Please email this link to every person on you email contact list. We need to get as many people as possible to see these ads. They are...

Conservatives should write in Tom Tancredo in the primary ballot to demonstrate the depth of concern we have with the President. If enough do this, he will get the message.

Candidate calls for Constitutional Amendment to protect marriageFebruary 4, 2004 Today, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that they will accept nothing short of full marriage rights for same-sex couples. In doing so, the court clearly demonstrated their radical gay marriage agenda by rejecting the Massachusetts state legislatures attempts to find a compromise. Responding to the Massachusetts ruling, U.S. Senate candidate Herman Cain said, “The courts have failed the American people. Congress needs to enact a constitutional amendment to protect the sacred institution of marriage.” Cain went on to say, “Liberal-minded judges have opened a floodgate of judicial tyranny that will...

I don't know if The incident influenced the caucus results. But I took Special interest in the story because Jim served in my unit. Service in Vietnam is an important credential to me. Many...

From the Kerry Rolling Stone Interview: “They [the Bush Administration] misled us; they presented false intelligence to us. The president made a series of promises to us -- number one, that he was gonna make every effort possible to build a legitimate coalition. He did not -- he built a fraudulent coalition. Second, he was gonna exhaust the remedies of the United Nations and the inspection process. He did not. And third, that he would go to war as a last resort. He did not…” Then he calls Bush a liar ( my word): “It seems to me that we...

I've heard of some speculation of Mass. Governor Mitt Romney being up for running for the office of President in 2008 with Kerry Healey running for Veep. Would this line up defeat a Clinton/#### ticket?

Braintree Selectman Joseph Driscoll pulled off a victory for a vacant House seat last night - overcoming all-out efforts by Gov. Mitt Romney and the Republican Party to snatch the seat back from a political generation of elected Democrats. With all 14 precincts reporting in the special election, Driscoll had won by 436 votes out of more than 10,000 cast, according to unofficial results from Secretary of State William Galvin. ``The Republicans didn't leave a bullet in the chamber on this one, and my campaign really was kind of a mom and pop operation,'' said Driscoll, who celebrated his 33rd...

f Governor Mitt Romney has a ''machine gun'' aimed at Democratic state lawmakers, as House Speaker Thomas M. Finneran warned last week, then the special House election in a district south of Boston offers Romney his first target. With six days left before voters go to the polls in the only state election this year, Romney and the state Republican Party already have poured considerable effort and money into the race. According to GOP executive director Dominick Ianno, the party has spent more than $10,000 on 24-year-old Matt Sisk's campaign, funding four mass mailings, two automated phone blitzes, and a...

Tuesday was a massacre for the democrats. They had no message and the polling was horrible. I have always been skeptical about polls and it appears that most of the pre-election polls were off. So why did the republicans do so well? George Bush deserves much of the credit, but let's not forget about the great candidates we had. 90% od our candidates were experienced and did well in their debates. The democrats did have a message. It was "no" to whatever being asked. The get nothing done senate was another reason. No bills and no judges were coming out...

The Romney campaign tracking polls show a 7 point bulge for Mitt. This is up from 4 points ahead in the tracking before the debate. One of the concerns that any GOP effort has in Massachusetts is that the Dems have all of the ground troops for a big GOTV effort. Professionals usually credit an additional 3 to 4 points to the Dems just because of their GOTV. Now the Romney folks will never be able to match the bodies that O'Brien has at her disposal, but they have been aggressive in using telephone calls and mass mailings. They have...

BOSTON, MASS. — Welcome to Massachusetts, Mitt! While it is true that Romney has been a legal resident of Massachusetts for over 30 years, it wasn't until this past week that Mitt truly became one of us. Prior to last week, Mitt's demeanor was that of an apple-shined Midwesterner, polite to a fault and incapable of accepting that anyone could even think ill of him, let alone act rudely towards him. And, gosh knows, if someone did act that way, well, that "sticks and stones" rhyme that his mother taught him would be his guide. No more. Romney's Wednesday-night debate...

Reich Sees Need for New Social Contract By Stefanie Cohen, Eagle Correspondent LENOX -- Whatever happened to the social contract? What happened to the tacit, but guaranteed understanding that if a company performed well, then its employees would benefit? That raises would be offered, and pensions would grow? Robert Reich, the former secretary of labor under President Clinton and one of four Democratic hopefuls for governor of Massachusetts, argued Monday evening that certain unwritten, but nonetheless understood, ideals about labor in the U.S. can no longer be expected by citizens. But Reich believes the time is ripe for their return....

<p>As Beacon Hill braces for big spending cuts and grapples with a spiraling fiscal crisis, gubernatorial candidate Robert B. Reich yesterday offered a plan for major budget expansions.</p> <p>Reich unveiled an ''economic vision for Massachusetts'' that would vastly expand state spending on education, health care, and transportation to create jobs. ''The long-term question is not whether we can afford to make those investments,'' Reich said. ''It is whether we can afford not to.''</p>
