Why was WBUR this morning reporting that Secretary of State Galvin predicts 300,000 voters for the idiotic inclusion of Massachusetts in the SuperTuesday primary? Wonder if any of the state's political hacks in either party ever thought that this state gets lost on SuperTuesday and that its vote has absolutely no meaning at all.

re: "MassVictory, an offshoot of the Massachusetts Republican Party, pointed out a recent Congressional Quarterly analysis showing that Kerry had voted with his own party 97 percent of the time."Senator Kerry is correct: partisan gridlock is responsible for hindering progress in Washington, and with his 97 percent voting record with his party leaders, he is an offender-in-chief,'' said party spokeswoman Alleigh Marre. "Our state and country need more elected officials focused on solving problems and making progress, and fewer hypocrites like Senator Kerry focused on throwing rocks at others.'' Of course the senator votes with his party 97% of the time. Republicans, with the posible exception of Olympia Snowe, vote for their party %100 of the time. The obstructionism of the Republicans leaves Kerry and his fellow Democrats with little choice! Show him a truly bipartisan bill and you'll get his vote, as must have happened during that other %3. Make that "throwing rocks back at the attack dogs of the radical right.."

Love the Dailykos and other Dems who say voter fraud is not an issue and no need for an ID.
