Robert Reich's Bid For Mass. Governor May Fold Today
The National Journal and The Boston Herald ^ | February 2, 2002 12:35 EST | The Hotline's 'Weekend Scoop' Political Tip Sheet Staff

Posted on 02/02/2002 8:49:29 AM PST by umbra

Democrat Governor hopefuls Thomas Birmingham and Treas. Shannon O'Brien 'will flex their grassroots political muscle' in today's local Mass. Democrat caucuses.

50 thousand activists will select 'more than' 3,900 delegates for the June 2002 nominating convention.

Those delegates along with the 1,147 elected and party officials will 'determine who among the five candidates' will make it to the 9/02 primary ballot.

Birminghan and O'Brien 'are expected to dominate,' while ex-DNC chair Steve Grossman, ex-state Senator Warren Tolman and ex-Labor Secretary Robert Reich 'scramble to clear' the 15% threshold to make the ballot.

One or two of the candidates 'may fold their campaigns' after a poor showing, with both Tolman and Reich 'at risk.'

That is too bad, because Reich is the only honset liberal I have seen in a while.

Farewell to an Original Clinton Warrior, Oct. 6, 1998

Some five years later, Emanuel is going. Monday is the last day of work for one of this White House's ultimate survivors, a wiry-thin, foul-mouthed ballet dancer from Chicago who moved to Little Rock in the fall of 1991 as one of the first advisers to Bill Clinton's presidential campaign.

Boy wouldn't it be nice - er, ammo - for the GOP to use if they could catch some of this "foul-mouth"-ness on tape to use in anti-Rahm ads in the Chicago area?! That'd play well with all the little old ladies in the Dist. where he's running for office.

Both Sides of My Mouth

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Buz Hogan. In the wake of president Clinton's apology speech, we have invited presidentail spokesman Rahm Emanuel to be our guest. Mr. Emaunel has spent the last eight months defending the president in regard to the Monica Lewisnsky scandal. Hello Rahm. Tell us, how did you react to Clintons' Monday night admission that he did indeed have an affair with Ms. Lewinsky and lied about it for 7 months. Do you accept his apology?

Rahm: Buz, I'm not owed an apology. My job is to defend Bill Clinton. I lie for a liar. I'll follow Bill Clinton into the gutter if I have to.
