…by the GOP and it needs to be posted in every single congressional district in the country.
If republicans don’t do this then it’s only because they are not paying attention or trying.
If they do this then democrats won’t keep 100 seats.

You’ve got to be kidding me

Michael Graham has been following the McGovern campaign and what he is hearing is unbelievable:
I like to think I’m a jaded, cynical observer of Massachusetts politics, but when I read Rep. Jim McGovern’s claim to support cracking down on illegal immigration, I literally gasped out loud.
McGovern told the MetroWest Daily News that he “wants improved border security, visa monitoring and workplace enforcement and a streamlined process for coming to the country legally.”
Remember this is Massachusetts, the big liberal state that supposedly wouldn’t care about an issue like this, the state that the NYT insists there is no chance for any Republican to win in congress this year and McGovern is suddenly talking tough on immigration? But it gets better!
After repeated Internet searches, I couldn’t find one. So I called McGovern’s press office and asked them to send me a record of any such votes. Among other things, his office sent me – no joke – McGovern’s co-sponsorship of the House version of the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill of 2007.emphasis mine
So he is counting supporting Amnesty as a vote to enforce immigration, and he expects the people of Massachusetts 3rd district to fall for that? There are 10 colleges in Worcester Mass. alone, do you think that some of them might be able to read his record?
If that’s not a reason to support Marty Lamb in ma-3 I’d like to know what is?
And Yes he was once a democrat, don’t forget, so was I, so was he and so was this guy.
One quick reminder to all those crying “Willie Horton” at Sharon Angle…

That’s all.
The Massachusetts 6th district just got a whole lot more interesting

Just before I went to Blogcon I said this about Bill Hudak:
Hudak is an excellent speaker who did something that instantly made me like him. He started to run MONTHS before Scott Brown was elected and way before anyone thought the democrats were in trouble.
One of the advantages of standing up and fighting rather than tamely giving up is you get the chance to take advantage of stuff like this:
The wife of US Representative John F. Tierney is poised to plead guilty tomorrow to federal tax charges for managing a bank account that her brother allegedly used to deposit millions of dollars in illegal gambling profits he raked in from an offshore sports betting operation in Antigua.
Patrice Tierney, 59, who is married to the Salem Democrat, is charged with four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns by her brother, Robert Eremian, of St. John’s, Antigua.
Bill Hudak’s internal polls already showed Tierney below 50% (bad news for an incumbent, incredible for a dem in Massachusetts) He’s been running hard and the media has been hitting him for a while but even places like the Globe are now see trouble:
You can crow all you want about some kooky yard sign of the president in a turban or whatever but this is a bit more serious to the tune of, oh, seven million dollars. Hudak may be painted as a wing nut – and rightfully so – but he doesn’t have any immediate ties to serious law breaking like this. Keep it mind that Tierney voted against the internet gambling ban while all of this was going on.
For the Globe that’s practically an endorsement
My film of Hudak is here
If there was ever a time to kick in for him on ma-6 it’s now.
I still say at least 3 seats in this state will turn this election. The NYT thinks that’s impossible so I feel really good about it.
