AdamSmith Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Guardian's heartening account of the Warren/Brown debate in MA senate race... http://www.guardian....h-warren-debate Can't find them right now but over the last 24 hours I think I saw more than one poll suggesting she may just barely hold a greater-than-margin-of-error lead at the moment. Hope! Quote
Members JKane Posted September 22, 2012 Members Posted September 22, 2012 Fingers crossed! I hope at some point The President, or Clinton initiates a massive campaign to encourage people to vote "straight ticket Democrat" to get rid of this horribly obstructionist congress and the state Republicans behind evil shit like the voter ID laws! lookin 1 Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Although Brown is so cute and hot I will vote for Warren if I could vote in MA... I hope she win although she will have a hard time fighting people people in DC... She is smart but will she be smart enough to fight and subdue people that will sell their soul to maintain the status quo... Lobbyists, interest groups, lawyers and their network of people who work for them is too strong.. At least she can try but I hope she doesn't end up one of them... We will see Quote
Members JKane Posted September 22, 2012 Members Posted September 22, 2012 Everybody else who really believes the country needs Elizabeth Warren in the senate should join me in donating, even $5! Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I also donated to Warren after her DNC speech. Watching their debate showed how passionate she is about issues and how much of an idiot Brown is. He even tried to get out of the debate but Harry Reid wouldn't let him. I found that hilarious and very telling of his laziness. . . Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted September 22, 2012 Members Posted September 22, 2012 Everybody else who really believes the country needs Elizabeth Warren in the senate should join me in donating, even $5! I already have. May I suggest donations be considered for Bachman's Dem opponent, Jim Graves. The race is tightening and I have to hope that an Obama surge will carry Graves over the line. I pasted a link for info and contributions. http://www.huffingto..._n_1889957.html https://secure.actbl...,1000&amount=25 Also worthy of consideration are NH Dem candidates for the House: Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster, both in a good position to unseat GOP incumbents. The GOP pacs are spending to hold these seats and the Dems need some cash. Lots of Medicare seniors give Obama a good chance to carry NH. If these women stay close to their opponents then I believe the Obama coat tails and Medicare will do the rest. Shea-Porter was unseated in 2010 in the Tea Party/anti Health Care wave and Kuster lost a close race. http://www.sheaporter.com/ http://kusterforcongress.com/ I have had enough of the Tea Party crazies so I'm contributing to selected close races around country where I believe there is a good chance to unseat them -- Senate and House. I'd like to help defeat Steve King/Iowa and a handful of GOP TX crazies but I just don't think there is a real chance to affect those outcomes. JKane, lookin and ihpguy 3 Quote
Members Theolover Posted September 23, 2012 Members Posted September 23, 2012 I am in MA and will vote for her too. met her at the gay pride parade in June. We must get rid of Scott Brown Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I hope we can get rid of Scott Brown. It would also be nice to get rid of Michelle Bachmann and Paul Ryan (maybe he can lose two elections in November?) Quote
Members JKane Posted September 24, 2012 Members Posted September 24, 2012 Ever since the nature of Lieberman running for both his Senate seat and higher office simultaneously were pointed out I've always felt it is the height of selfishness and a good indicator the person in question deserves neither position! Quote
Members MsGuy Posted September 24, 2012 Members Posted September 24, 2012 I'm pretty sure that LBJ didn't resign from his Senate seat when he ran for V-P. I was only about 11 or 12 at the time, so maybe I'm mis-remembering. Quote
Guest rimchair Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 And now Scott is off to be a Fox News Contributor, post Palin & Turd Blossom. ​ ​ ​ ​ Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 And according to a PLL poll, Fox News is at an all time low in terms of trustworthiness. I'm sure he will add to that. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted February 7, 2013 Members Posted February 7, 2013 And now Scott is off to be a Fox News Contributor, post Palin & Turd Blossom. This seals the deal about not seeking a Federal Office any time in the near future. I cannot imagine why he would do this other than the money. He is not nearly conservative enough to appease the Fox audience, or won't allow himself to be portrayed so if he hopes to ever run for statewide Mass office. And he cannot permit himself to de dragged to the right because of future statewide run considerations. He's about to find out what it's like being a black kid on a Southie block. If Ailes is trying to undertake a shift to the moderate side this would be a start but cumonnnnn... we're talking Roger Ailes and Fox News here!! Even if Ailes had such designs, this along with dumping Morris and Sara Palin would just be the tip of the iceberg. Half the idiots on that channel would have to be dumped starting with the morning show. Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Odd. A day ago it was being noised about that he was going to run for governor. The $$$ must have won out. He might have been (could still be) a decent governor. Having to cater only to the MA electorate, Repubs are allowed to act sensibly in that role. Quote
