Comments

You have got to be kidding me...Mennino helped Warren and Obama win? In a state of moon-bat Kennedy lemmings?

Please, let's change the tone.  As Abraham Lincoln said, "With malice toward none...."

Yes, it's called People Power, GOTV.. This was state wide 25,000 volunteers rang doorbells, making phone calls, carrying signs, giving rides.  It was a collective effort won by the people.. 

Fret not for Fitzie. He'll make up for taking a vacation day by banging in with a sick day this summer. It's too bad our city services are not delivered with such zeal and determination.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever...or at least until the next election.

I never thought it was about gender or race, but after listening to the Obama/Warren voters in the exit polls I am no longer convinced. I think Warren won because she is a minority: an Amercian Indian female.

I have cut & pasted the comments of another poster because I couldn't say it better:

"We truly have crossed the Rubicon, where the political elite and the public employee unions have created an insurmountable patronage-driven, taxpayer-financed political feedback-machine. Too many paychecks now are printed by this system for elections to matter."

It's volunteers. Lots of volunteers.  Hours and hours of hard work of volunteers.  They are not paid by anyone.
