I interviewed Guy Carbone at the end of the Twin City Tea Party on Aug 30 2010.
When it comes to demographics and religion and ethnicity there is no candidate closer to me that I’ve met.

Who was on stage twice yesterday once before the Plymouth County GOP straw vote and once at the end. Our clips here are from is speech before the vote:
I had to split this into two parts because it ran just over 10 min for YouTube and the other embed programs are iffy on wordpress.
Lucky for me I am a bit faster than my waistline looks because I almost missed him at the end of the event, but managed to chase him down as he was leaving and he was kind enough to come back in long enough to talk to me. Hey when you’re nice to Da man in Da Fedora he bumps your videos ahead of the line.
The Don’t get cocky advices has been coming from everywhere. It’s good advice.
Update: Welcome Michael Graham fans, come take a peek around. My latest examiner column talks about the changing fortunes of the GOP. Over the next few days I’ll be posting more interviews to go with my slideshow from the Plymouth Event so keep an eye. If you are tea party fans you should check out my coverage of the Twin city tea party, and my first interview with Michael in April before boarding the Tea Party express and covering the 4/15 DC rallies. Next week I will be in Washington for Blogcon and will be covering the 9/12 marches in person. Hope to see you there.

I briefly talked to Bill Campbell who is running for secretary of State in Massachusetts at the Twin City Tea Party.
People often forget that the Sec of State has important powers that can be critical if a state has been suffering under one party rule. It is a race that should not be ignored.
Voices of Main Street: Mike Forte

Mike Forte hosted gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker in his shop Forte’s Parts connection, however when I interviewed him there we didn’t talk politics we talked shop:
If you want a better perspective on how the economic climate has effected his business, the Framingham Tab profiled him in January.
“Trips and expensive cars — they’re the first to go,” he said. “Since 2006 I’ve been feeling it, but since autumn 2008 we’re off by about a third.”
“I’ve cut back everything,” he said. “I’ve been getting killed.”
Forte isn’t alone in his struggles.
This has been a difficult year for small businesses. In the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 400,000 businesses with fewer than 100 employees ceased operations, eliminating one million jobs. Some experts are describing 2009 as perhaps the worst year for small business since the Great Depression.
As they say, read the whole thing.
