Boston Mayor Ready for Anything
June 23, 2009 | 2 Comments
Today’s podcast guest, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, doesn’t seem to shy from tough topics. He does, however, have the skills to turn his answers to his main theme — this year’s race should be exclusively about advancing the city and not any past problems or policies.
I have to admit that I was unsure what to […]

John Walsh spoke with us today in his role as Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman.

John’s not shy and contacted me right away, by email and then by phone. We chatted about our differing perceptions of […]

McCrea Ready for Boston Shake-Up
June 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Big ideas from aligning the Boston Mayor’s race with the Presidential one and maybe doubling voters came from Kevin McCrea today. He’s the most reform-minded of the candidates, in many ways.
He is a construction-company owner who lives in the South End. He’s best known for being a gadfly at public meetings and particularly for suing […]

Dumbed Down Dem Platform
June 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The bland and smiley faced draft platform for this weekend’s MA Democratic Party convention befuddles us and today’s guest. Blogger and political activist Brian (a.k.a. Sabutai at Blue Mass Group) has been strong in his criticism.
