LOL!
She's about as "politically attractive" as O'Donnell, also!
She'd make a good caricature of a "Girl's School Matron!"

The problem that we have is the hurding cats thing that you warned me about a long time ago. Mitt coulds win , all of the other posibilities are frightining.
BUT, another thing that we discussed, the Libertines are drawing the conservitive right away from Our Party. There is a split coming, I feel, and if the republians do not move to the right, they will lose the base. here has to be a Clear statement of principles and it ain't coming.

Yeah sure. There is precious little we can do but talk among ourselves. The Globe several weeks ago in the Sunday Focus section did a story on the "real power" in our state and it ain't anywhere near the governer's office or really even elected pols. Massachusetts is run by an oligarchic machine- nameless and faceless. We have a veneer of "politics" that puts people to sleep. Every real decision in this state is made out of sight and by people no one elected.

No, you are the one who doesn't get it...we'll have to agree to disagree. Burkeman1 is right. Massachusetts politics is strange, confusing and hypocritical.

"......by People no one elected..."
Probably true, but we need to Fight "the system!" The Governor HAS a little power--Short of "Armed Revolution," we NEED to "TRY" to influence "The System!"

I think that the future of Conservatism in New England is actually with the Democratic Party. You are so right! I know a lot of old-time Roosevelt democrats who treat their politics like they do religion. You can be to the extreme left or the extreme right. To them there is no difference. You must vote democrat. that's the way it is in Massachusetts. So our best chance to win in that state is to put up conservative democrats. Oh, and don't forget July 18 is Mary Jo Kopechne Day. All you Taxachusetts should meet at the bridge.

An honest man? Other than minor differences in the tax rate Mitt was just like Ted and was only slightly less liberal than him. Wow- what a choice? I talked to conservatives in 96 when Mitt ran and they voted for Ted. Why vote for a Republican who agreed with everything Ted said on social issues to the letter and was a liberal himself? For God sakes Mitt said that he would make abortion more accessible if he were elected than Teddy! Mitt ran one of the worst campaigns I ever saw. We were supposed to vote for him? Why? So we could get a junior senator with no clout and could bring home no pork but yet who agreed with just about everything Teddy said? God- you must be young to actually have faith in anything our Mass GOP does or says. It is a fraud.
To: Burkeman1
NO Argument!
The ONLY difference between the "TWO" is that "Teddy" & his "Staff" are FIXED!!---While "Mitt" & "His Staff" have a potentially Volatile "situation!"
There is a SMALL CHANCE that "Mitt" MIGHT be able to allow US to enter the 21st Century, & take advantage of the advances our "Technical Advances" have created!
