I talked to Mary Connaughton who attended Monday’s Charlie Baker event
When she told me that there had never been an auditor in the office of auditor I was thunderstruck.

They report his background, (not specifically mentioning his support to park 51) but since they can’t directly attach him to opposition to the mosque they still play the Gingrich card. You can see them trying to hold back, unable to make the direct connection so it is all a question of “climate”.
I would think the irony of his attachments would be the big story, but I think it is disgraceful that they attempt to link Gingrich here or opposition to the mosque here when the facts are exactly the opposite. Since the guy supports the mosque how does the “climate of hate” connect to the attack? The only climate that mattered was the climate of alcohol in his system.
I haven’t been making it up early enough today to catch the first hour so I don’t know if they hit the Carnahan story but it would be nice.
Then again they have been very balanced looking at the president and noting that he is again being treated differently that Bush would have, noting the double standards.
That’s the thing about this show, compared to every other show on MSNBC they are not afraid to look at reality. They even pointed to Sarah Palin’s success today and acknowledged it.
I wonder if MSNBC tolerates them because a morning show by nature attracts people outside the clique?
Cripes they just played the Rubio Ad. It’s awesome!

I talked to Chris Resmini at the Charlie Baker event on Monday:
If we are going to change Massachusetts we need to support these first time candidates when they emerge. You will also note from his facebook page that Chris has been active in attending events and supporting his fellow republican candidates.
More please
Hey Union members: That’s 88 Million that won’t be in your pension fund

But don’t worry the SEIU et/al care about their members money. Honest!
The two labor organizations say they have a combined $88 million or more to deploy in this year’s election cycle. It’s not clear how much of that money they will pool together.
So while your pension funds are rickety your leaders are dropping 88 million in an election cycle to try to save the Obama majority in the house and senate. Michelle Malkin nails it big time.
As I’ve noted over the last two years, it’s going to take a bottom-up revolt by disgusted rank-and-file members to stop the political raid on worker dues.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson: “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
Of course if the union steward decides who works, in a bad economy maybe they don’t dare raise their voices, but until you clean up your own house, expect more of the same.
