My latest for the examiner Massachusetts soon in a different column tells of change in the state:

Over and over doors were about to be closed until the voter heard the Magic word “Republican”. When the voter heard that word, doors were opened, literature accepted and thumbs up given. Only one in four at best thought otherwise. Meanwhile on primary day at local polling places I talked to longtime democratic votes had nothing good to say about John Olver who they have been voting for faithfully for nearly two decades.

This evidence is of course anecdotal, but that’s not how I see it. I see it as data points and from those data points I think this state is going to be a source of shock and dismay to liberals from the Atlantic Ocean to the Berkshires.

Update: Instalanche on the Examiner article, much better than on the blog I get paid by the hit for those articles. Thanks Glenn!

Update 2: The examiner article is now a top level Memeorandum thread. YOWZA!

I’ll give you one clue:

We will be on the road together today within Massachusetts and my wife will confirm her sainthood by once again hosting Stacy this evening.

Stacy McCain’s report from the Bielat HQ includes this gem:

Moe Lane reports that Charlie Cook just upgraded MA-4 from “safe” to “likely Democrat,”

I also noticed that ma-5 (Jon Golnik vs Nikki Tsongas) is also no longer listed as “safe” either.

In three weeks the whole state is going to be upgraded to “Holy S*#@!” People have no clue what is going on here.

Tom Wesley candidate in ma-2 talked to me before his appearance on WCRN:

Make sure you take a moment to kick in to his campaign here.
