Devone asks:
Can anyone--anyone--come up with a coherent, logical reason as to why voters in Massachusetts' Ninth District should return Rep. Stephen Lynch to Congress on November 7?
It would be one thing if Lynch actually had some accomplishments to speak of, but can anyone point to anything he's done that has had tangible benefits for the residents of his district? ...
What you see when you go to Stevie Lynch's campaign Web site.
Compare to his Republican opponent's site.
Hey, John! is a blog aimed at convincing John Kerry to give up some of the millions in campaign funds he's sitting on so Democrats can win this year.
Via W. A. Hurd, who notes that Rep. Marty Meehan, facing no competition this year, is also sitting on a large wad of cash.
Devone ponders:
It will be interesting to see how the Massachusetts press will spin a Jack Robinson victory if he defeats unpopular incumbent Stephen Lynch on November 7. ...
Ed. Ninth District Note: I don't particularly like Lynch - I have never voted for him - but, honestly, the chances of Robinson beating him next month are about equal to my odds of being elected Prince of Wales.
Blue Mass. Group, of all people, talks with Republican Jack E. Robinson, this year running for Congress against Steven Lynch in the Ninth District.
DedhamBlog ponders how Rep. Stephen Lynch keeps dodging debates with challenger Phil Dunkelbarger:
... Dunkelbarger may not succeed in his goal due to Stephen Lynch's 'no information voter' campaign, but Lynch will never get a vote from me and eventually he'll face a tougher race! ...
Ryan Adams, meanwhile, finds Lynch's declaration that a non-binding vote on "staying the course" in Iraq meant nothing, curious:
Man, he's one of my favorite perennial candidates - how can you not love a guy who crashes his car on the Jamaicaway while calling into WBUR - while denying allegations he was a groper?
Still, who knew that this time he's running for congress in my district, against Steve Lynch? Hey, anybody know what ever happened to Mildred Jefferson?
We at Boston WAG would like to chime in that we agree with this recent email from Josh at Free Press, which opposes a bill in Congress which proposes federal legislation stopping the ability for municipal broadband to "compete" with traditional ISPs.
We've already added our names to the petition, but you should to!
