You&#39;ll still have your first woman, regardless of how many poisonous viewpoints she may hold?

I have the fact that Ma voted for Hillary Clinton by 15% and yet our guys in the Senate and the House supported the inexperienced male candidate overriding the will of their constituents. We have good reason to believe that Joe and the rest of the gang will come out in force. You can&#39;t be a women in MA politics and not notice the way we&#39;ve been treated. The guys allowed us to lick the envelopes, make the phone calls, canvas for them but hey, no room on the bus if we wanted a real seat at the table. Time to move into the 21st century. We&#39;ll have our first woman no matter how much distortion occurs. <br />Mike has been throwing darts since his opening salvo and if you haven&#39;t noticed you must be on his full time team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104390455298756821.post-10385367950455062182009-11-07T00:15:15.170-05:002009-11-07T00:15:15.170-05:00I&#39;m sorry, but that is complete BS. <br /><br />A way for Capuano to win is to distinguish and criticize his opponents&#39; records. It is not about going negative. <br /><br />Coakley has received almost no criticism about her record, and she&#39;s been lucky about that. Even a cursory review of her record reveals her to be a hardline law-and-order candidate who is less than stellar on civil liberties issues (ending an open-file policy as DA, the Fells Acres debacle, going after the mooninite viral marketers, being extremely conservative and just plain wrong on drugs, and this current decision to sign onto a brief advocating a bad policy and an especially bad result in the specific case). <br /><br />Her record does not need twisting - it speaks for itself. The problem is that few care to look since she&#39;s already been chosen as the inevitable winner. <br /><br />And referring to Capuano&#39;s supporters as part of some &quot;old boys club&quot; is just pure sexism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104390455298756821.post-19139863507589200372009-11-06T18:32:59.493-05:002009-11-06T18:32:59.493-05:00The only way Capuano can win is to go negative- and it will not be pretty-<br />The old boys club will rally around him- I suppose he&#39;ll get Joe and the gang- they will twist and distort Martha&#39;s record. That&#39;s politics as usual-<br />what a shame- The press will embrace this form of interaction because they want fireworks- it sells papers. Too bad my kids future is at stake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
