Gomez seldom the deal maker

yathzee — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:04:06 -0400

Jeffrey Berry, a professor of political science at Tufts University, said it’s puzzling why Gomez isn’t more vigorously pitching his business experience to voters.

“He repeats over and over again that he was a Navy SEAL, and he does mention that he was in the private sector. But he never connects the private sector experience with what he’s going to do to help improve the economy,” Berry said.

The #NSA Leaker, #Snowden, is a Democrat. That’s how bad it is at the White House. #NRA #coleg #masen #bospoli #tcot #NSA

Politics: A public records search shows Snowden was a registered voter but did not declare a political party affiliation. Someone with the same name who lived in the same places and at one point worked for Dell made two $250 donations last year to libertarian-leaning GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Senator Brown has shown a propensity to play the victim whenever he is challenged | Boston .Com

yathzee — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 11:32:06 -0400

“Brown has shown a propensity to play the victim whenever he is challenged, while his allies have taken virtually every opportunity to demean Warren and cast her as an elitist since even before she entered the race. … Warren, meanwhile, has a life story that is more blue-collar than Brown or the GOP have been willing to admit.”

Sometimes isn't enough

“We should not be fighting about equal pay for equal work and access to birth control in 2012. These issues were resolved years ago — until the Republicans brought them back.”

- Elizabeth Warren,at the Massachusetts Senate Debate in Springfield Symphony Hall, Wed, October 10, 2012

….a candidate doesn’t just come up with a takedown this good on the spot, but more important is the substance — Warren was right about the Republican’s voting record and spoke with authority about the underlying issue. Brown is counting enough center-left Massachusetts voters to say, “He’s a Republican, but he’ll vote the right way sometimes.” Warren’s response last night was about saying “sometimes” isn’t enough.

“I have no doubt that Sen. Brown is a good husband and a good father to his daughters. But this is an issue that affects all of our daughters, and our granddaughters. And what matters here is how Sen. Brown votes. So he’s gone to Washington, and he’s had some good votes. But he’s had exactly one chance to vote for equal pay for equal work, and he voted no. He had exactly one chance to vote for insurance coverage for birth control and other preventive services for women. He voted no. And he had exactly one chance to vote for a pro-choice woman — from Massachusetts — to the United States Supreme Court, and he voted no. Those are bad votes for women. The women of Massachusetts need a senator they can count on, not some of the time, but all of the time.

When no one thought we could take on the big banks and win, Elizabeth Warren did it. She exposed the tricks in credit cards and mortgages, and led the fight to create a new consumer agency to hold the big banks accountable. President Obama calls her “one of the fiercest advocates for the middle class.” When everybody else backs down, Elizabeth stands up for people

The Most Important Moment in Last Night's Mass. Senate Debate

See on Scoop.it - Massachusetts Senate Race 2012

All politics is local until it isn’t…

Brown, trailing in 9 of the 11 most recent polls, is trying to disassociate himself from the Republican party. But it’s looking like a losing battle. Here’s what I thought was the most illuminating moment of the debate. It was Warren taking Brown to task on equal pay and reproductive rights—and then, after Brown responds, hammering him again almost verbatim a few minutes later:

Here’s what I thought was the most illuminating moment of the debate. It was Warren taking Brown to task on equal pay and reproductive rights—and then, after Brown responds, hammering him again almost verbatim a few minutes later.

his is a side of Warren—righteous anger—we really hadn’t seen in either of the first two debates. And it’s especially damaging because it frames Brown as squarely in the embrace of the national GOP. As Warren put it, “These issues were decided until the Republicans brought them back.”
