The movement toward O'Brien has occurred since Mitt Romney entered the race, presenting a stiff challenge to Democrats. Romney's elbowing out of Acting Governor Jane Swift has produced new energy for O'Brien among female Democratic activists who resented Romney's actions, party leaders say. At the same time, Romney's candidacy has forced the party to make a realistic assessment of the general election chances of its gubernatorial hopefuls.

Frank also attributed the movement to O'Brien to the negative reaction among some women to Romney's treatment of Swift, and their concern that the acting governor's exit sends a message that a woman with children cannot hold high office in Massachusetts.

Never mind the fact that they were the ones who lead the attacks when Swift had her baby and tried to have her removed from office because of it. Typical liberal hypocrisy. Now that Swift is on her way out, suddenly feminists feel sorry for her. Wink, wink! It never ceases to amaze me the depths to which the Democratic Party will sink to in order to manufacture votes.

On the bright side, it appears that Clinton's favorite Smurf, Robert Reich isn't making a very good showing. I take any victories I can.

As an anti-feminist, I'm hoping Jane will go home and raise her children. They need her more than MA does.

Yes... MassPort. No matter who gets to be govenor, Swifty will get a hack job.

The Globe is a free publication for the dems up here. O'Brien will beat Birmingham.

I'm afraid Romney can't win when the deck is loaded.

Last night, they just jacked our taxes up in Boston.

So many people up here make a living off of tax dollars.

By far, it is the closest thing to communism.
