The Globe introduces us to the people running for state treasurer this year:
Democrats Steve Grossman and Steve Murphy and Republican state Representative Karyn Polito are vying for the open treasurer's seat by trying to differentiate themselves based on their financial credentials, investment philosophies, and independence.
Democrat Steve Grossman uses Twitter to accept Republican Karyn Polito's challenge to debate in the race for state treasurer:
... Let's talk jobs, holding big banks accountable, & protecting people's $. When & where?
Now let's see if Polito tweets back.
Real-time politics, eh? I see that Karyn Polito got a tweet on her website dare to Steve Grossman's Twitter. He just responded to a debate challenge with:
@karyn4treasurer, I accept your invitation to debate. Let’s talk jobs, holding big banks accountable, & protecting people’s $. When & where? 16 minutes ago via web
Game on, boys and girls. Now, she'll have to come up with some substance to match his specific and elaborate proposals.
