Small state...small man.

God help our benighted Commonwealth. Not that our current dead governor walking is any better.

Mayor of Munchkinland.

Small state...small man.

Small state in area, yes. In population...not so small. In political influence and economic impact on the country...not very small at all.

Similarly, Reich is a large political figure. Ms. Swift has her work cut our for her.

Socialist state...Harvard man.

Don't laugh at Mr. Reich's short stature. Michael Stanley Dukakis was pretty short too, and he was elected governor three times -- 1974, 1982, and 1986. People might feel "sorry" for Reich's shortness, and he could lock up the "sympathy vote" early in the campaign. Considering MA's last two "Republican" governors, it would seem that a Democrat is bound to win in 2002, with Senator Kerry leading the way to victory for the whole ticket.
