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

Yesterday I talked to Republican State Senate Candidate and newest member of the Axis of Fedora Ed McGrath about Charlie Baker’s event yesterday and the mood of the state.

Like Arizona, if we in Massachusetts fail to stand behind republican candidates like McGrath we only have ourselves to blame for the result.

Republican candidate Charlie Baker kindly gave me a few minutes of his time at the tail end of his appearance at Forte’s Parts Connection in Framingham today. He talks about what is necessary to get small business’ going

He answered my “support the Republicans” question a lot better than a former Republican governor I once asked did. Also compared to me he is REALLY tall.

Update: An FYI No Bloggola was exchanged for this interview, silly me.

This useless:

a whopping 96 House and Senate Democrats are currently unopposed, State House News Service reported. In addition to the one-sided legislative races, Republicans have mounted no challenges to seven incumbent Democratic sheriffs while all but two of the 11 district attorney posts are assured to remain with the Democrats.

What is the problem? Robert Hedlund (R-Weymouth) Nails it:

Hedlund said he fears the GOP is focusing too highly on “top of the ticket” offices, such as the races for governor and treasurer, both of which boast strong Republican contenders.

“I’ve been telling people the dynamics are similar to what they were in 1990 and people are especially upset with Democratic incumbents,” Hedlund said. “What frustrates me is the lack of focusing on building from the ground up.“

If it wasn’t for the tea parties in places like Worcester county where would the republicans be? In our neck of the woods we are contesting all kinds of races.

This state is dying for different leadership, the national party and the state party have a lot to answer for.
