In Mass, Your Vote Truly Doesn't Count

You thought the national polls were bad - can you believe these Massachusetts polls?  Be thankful that Mass. doesn't have the final say, because in Mass. most people just line up and pull the lever for the Democrats with rare exceptions.  Even in a year as seemingly contentious as this one, there's no need for debate.  In Massachusetts, you have two main populations for the most part: the city dwellers who are recipients of liberal spending and the highly educated suburbanites who know what's best for everyone else.  There are a few folks that get squeezed in the middle, and many of them move to New Hampshire.  NH is sliding into Swing State territory, but they used to be a polar opposite of Mass.  Did you know that State Representatives in NH are paid only $100 per year for their service?!  When the legislature isn't in session, they earn their living like everyone else.

Fortunately, the Republicans have a fighting chance in the district I live in.  These are exceptional times.  John Tierney is the incumbent Dem Representative in Congress whose wife laundered $8M for her brother's illegal overseas gambling ring.  She was convicted, and sentenced to 30 days in jail.  It wasn't enough to bring him down 2 yrs ago, but he's up against Richard Tisei this time around who is a popular, bipartisan, openly gay State Senator.  

In the Senate race, you have Scott Brown, who has the 2nd most bipartisan voting record in Congress (he's was with the GOP 54% of the time) running against Elizabeth Warren.  Warren is like Justice Kagan in the Supreme Court - she was hand picked by the administration and they'll always be able to rely on her vote.  The main difference between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, though, is that Scott Brown posed as a centerfold in Cosmo during his college years.  Elizabeth Warren, on the other hand, has been posing her entire career.  She "checked the box" for Affirmative Action falsely claiming Native American lineage, she claimed to be the intellectual founder of Occupy Wall Street while living comfortably in the 1%, and it recently seems that she doesn't even have a license to practice law in Mass even though she represents clients here.  Normal people would get in a lot of trouble for that.  

These races would be slam dunks anywhere else.  Unfortunately, open-minded voters are in the minority here - it's only the race for President that's a slam dunk.
