Do you live in Massachusetts?

The pay attention for a minute. Otherwise, you may go out to recess early.

OK, this coming Tuesday, we're holding the election to fill the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. I'm not enthused by Martha Coakley, but this is the issues page on Republican candidate Scott Brown's website. He's anti-choice, pro-gun, homophobic, wants to stop health care reform, and thinks even weak sauce like a cap and trade policy are too much to do to deal with climate change. He's a true son of the current, sad, putrified remains of the Republican party. Apparently, he may actually have a shot at winning.

On Tuesday, go vote against him. Leave this sort of bassackwardness to the South.

while i agree with your sentiment here, i think we should try to keep our yankee hatred of everything below the mason-dixon on low for the time being. we have enough partisanship and backbiting going on in the political discourse that it won't help anything, you know?

i'm just saying. if we have another civil war, we'd get screwed cause they have all the guns.

I CANT BELIEVE HE COULD WIN IN THIS STATE. I was having fun forgetting that "we" elected Mitt Romney. I'm not even sure if I registered to vote in Hadley, but I'm sure as hell going to call the county clerk in Northampton on Tuesday (Monday if anyone is there) and find out where to vote. I'm so upset about this.

I saw SIX Scott Brown ads while doing elliptical - it was only 20 minutes, and I saw 6 ads, on a total of 3 channels, and a Republican on CNN saying "The Massachusetts election will send a message to Democrats nationwide." It gave me an anger attack.

Does Coakley's career as a prosecutor give you any pause about her (http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=24379620-18FE-70B2-A8305A0700EAC23C)? Or her prevarications on the death penalty (http://www.talkleft.com/story/2009/11/7/1465/41623)?
