Sorry for all of us, but mostly for the people in your district.

I wanted to post that as soon as you posted, but my computer froze for some reason. And then I thought it died.

Anyway, we can only hope that either his delegation will "guide" him into voting like a Dem or his delegation makes sure that two years is the very most he sees of the inside of Congress, at least while calling himself a Dem.

I wish I could see his face when he finds out that the Constitution says you can't reduce the compensation of anyone in Congress while they are serving. That was about he campaign on.

Then again, maybe he won't be embarrassed. Maybe he'll only be glad it did not cost him the primary. I guess, if he's a Republican running as a Democrat, he doesn't embarrass easy.

I hope more show up in November. Governor Baker doesn't sound good to me. merrily Sep 2014 #10

More democrats showed up in my town, Georgetown, according to a friend who works at the polls. graywarrior Sep 2014 #11

You had a real contest, a real reason to show up. A Dem v. a GOPer pretending to be a Dem. merrily Sep 2014 #12

GOP is out for Tierney's blood graywarrior Sep 2014 #13

It will be really very sad if Moulton is a Republican who wins a Dem primary. merrily Sep 2014 #14

He thinks he's fooling every one graywarrior Sep 2014 #15
