Deval's Comeback

New Governor's Race Poll



The latest poll in the Massachusetts Governor's race has some interesting results. While the primary is not until Septemeber and the real voting is in November, at this early stage it appears that the previously assumed doomed Deval Patrick is making a comeback. He definitely does not appear to be threatened in the Democrat primary by leftist activist Grace Ross:

Patrick - 59%
Ross - 15%
Undecided - 26%

On the Republican side, former Weld Administration official Charlie Baker has a commanding lead over fiscal conservative Christie Mihos; but with his total still below 50%, Baker can't be said to have the nomination in the bag just yet.

Baker - 47%
Mihos - 17%
Undecided - 36%

However, if the current front runners, plus third party candidate Tim Cahill and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are polled in a four way match-up, these are the results:

Patrick - 33%
Baker - 25%
Cahill - 23%
Stein - 3%
Undecided - 16%

No surprise that fringe candidate Stein appears out of it, but the apparent strength of Deval Patrick is surprising and leaves Republicans feeling desperate to try to find a way to get Cahill out of the race. To see the full poll results click here.

Dumb All Over

Being from Springfield, when it comes to useless politicians I've seen it all, but this is one of the dumbest fucking political exchanges I've ever heard. Don't increase the fine - LEGALIZE IT! Northampton, how dare you elect clueless assholes like this:

Thanks for the link love Tommy!

OMG! is that your city council in the video? I'm so sorry for you. At least they have comedic value.

Those councilors are old school relics. The next generation elected will more likely know what they're talking about...

Still, kind of surprising for Northampton...

i have smoked weed with doctors, lawyers and builders, all of whom reside in hamp. i would bet that more than 50% of the residents toke it up once in a while. these council-persons are fucking idiots with narrowminded agendas.

that woman in the middle needs a good screw, i'd say....that'd loosen her up.
