Anyone know what's up in Tierney's district?

36. Very good "local politics" info there--the odd operative weighs in as well.

I'm pretty much just a reader but I find it a good resource.

Spot on about Tisei = Brown. Tisei likes to talk about how he has more concern for the veterans than anyone else, like it is a GOP trait (never mind they cut funding for vets left and right as a routine).

I really dislike that smarmy dweeb Jon Keller, but he had a point to make when it came to Moulton winning that Dem primary--it kind of shuts Tisei up about the military bullshit he liked to slop around:

Moulton, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Salem, will likely highlight that experience in his fight for the 6th Congressional District seat.
“Moulton, I think, handles his military service very well in terms of a campaign credential. He doesn’t see it as the be all and end all, but draws on his experience with teamwork and his sense of humility, as well as his sense of concern about future American military involvement. I think these are all going to be pluses for him in this campaign.”

Another reason I don't want Tisei to win is because he's the only "out" Republican that I know of in the United States who is past the primary process and in a general election. From my perusal of the issues, Republicans don't like gay people any more than they like black people, Hispanic people, or women.

I don't want the GOP to be able to say "Gee, we don't hate gay people, look at our Very Own Poster Child Congressman from Oh-So-Liberal Massachusetts." And you know they'll do that in a heartbeat if this guy gets in. He'll be the Michael Steele/Herman Cain-style "exception that proves the rule" for the gay community.
