WOW! Have you ever thought of writing professionally? I’m serious - great analyses!
Weld in MA. Back in 1990 I told people that John Silber (D) was more conservative. I voted for Silber, to no avail. Weld as you know sucked, very badly. Case of voting D over R.
I was sucked in by Mitt though in 2002. Oh well - Universal MassCare has/will stop him from being president.
Hell, I oughta get paid for it. :-P
Oh, yes, I’ve discussed John Silber many times (I’ve probably essays galore on MA politics on here, but this dumb bunny keeps forgetting to mark links to them... ugh). Silber was a King Democrat (although Ed King switched to the GOP by then, and then the party refused to utilize him), and was quite preferable to the execrable Weld (although Steve Pierce should’ve been the nominee). I’ve stated my conviction, too, that Weld was a pretty obvious covert Democrat agent (he endorsed Zero last year, so he’s pretty well out of the closet, although still laughably claiming he’s a Republican).
As for Slick Willard, regrettably, I took the position that since he had money and claimed he would use that to pack more Republicans into the legislature, to give him a shot (since it was obvious that Janey Swift was a menace headed for a landslide loss, especially after she picked that radical liberal homosexual Hispanic running mate, Guerrero). And, well, we all know the rest now. He made Jane Swift look like Reagan.
