What's my point? This Boston Herald article has it correct, and the RINOs should realize it's "game up". Real US citizens are sick of the invasion of the US and sick of the debt and sick of government over-reach into their lives. Even in the Yankee core of MA.
And I believe in a cost saving measure, the Herald is actually PRINTED by the Globe. The Herald used to have a huge building with presses, etc. but recently moved to a more modern, smaller space, and at least some editions of the Herald are printed by the Globe.

>>The Herald American converted to tabloid format in September 1981, but Hearst faced steep declines in circulation and advertising. The company announced it would close the Herald American—making Boston a one-newspaper town—on December 3, 1982.

That didn’t stop the Dems from running ads saying, “Who is Scott Brown, really? A Republican. Who will vote in lockstep with the Republican party. At times like these, we don’t need a Republican..like Scott Brown.”
“Republican” evidently meant “Nazi”. Did he vote the straight party line? No, but then again the GOP-e isn’t as conservative as we’d like.
The state’s voters are so brainwashed that some GOP candidates downplay the R-word and use terms like “independent voice”.
After years of Dem governors like Mike Dukakis (at least one Dem, though—Ed King—was conservative), there was a 16 yr period of GOP governors: Bill Weld, Paul Cellucci, Jane Swift, Mitt Romney. None hardcore conservative, but the Commonwealth started to pine for another Dem in the Corner Office and elected Deval Patrick in 06 and 10. “Together We Can”—a forerunner of Obama in 08. Charlie Baker, presumptive GOP nominee, may be facing someone like Martha Coakley. Yecch. Lesser of two...
