'No one's going to give it to us,' Part II
A regular Hub Blog reader urged me to link to BMG's open thread from polling places. Consider it done! ... Seems like Patrick leads in the number of enthusiastic sign carriers. That's always a good sign for a candidate, no pun intended. ... Light to moderate turnout. A bit of somewhat predictable talk/worries among Devalites about complacency and a closer-than-expected race. Who knows? Still the grassroots coverage at BMG is great stuff, as it was during the Dem caucuses. ...
BTW: The same reader, a Republican operative, loves BMG and what it's done for local politics. But he finished his message to me: 'How they'll handle the general election, I don't know.' I've been thinking the same thing. BMG has become a big hit precisely because it's been so refreshingly fair and open to all views within its openly acknowledged blue confines -- but that dynamic inevitably changes in a general election. I hope its planned 'unity party' doesn't mean Kos-like stridency arrives tomorrow morning. I don't think it will. ...
