The mid terms are local elections determined by local issues and views of national issues on a local basis

I think it’s changed. People don’t care as much about local issues, they don’t feel like a part of the community, nobody talks to their neighbors, it’s just a place to live until some place better comes along.

More and more everything is driven by national politics, because local stories become national stories on our media.

Take the Clancy case. 30 years ago, this case would have only raised interest in Massachusetts, now it’s a global story.

All Politics Is National!
