Boston Herald. Geez. I’m sure Deval is glad to have the $600,000 grand, but maybe Barry should have done him a favor and stayed in D.C. To avoid the Bush-like embarrassment of low turnout and protestors. And we aren’t even a year into the first term yet.
Boston Globe helpfully plays down and buries five long graphs down but can’t quite ignore Obama’s low draw. We’ll get to that eventually, like they did. First, It was all about lowering expectations. And keeping the insider positioned as an outsider:
Sweeping into town for the fund-raiser and to deliver a speech on clean energy at MIT, Obama said Patrick deserves credit for implementing near-universal health care, investing in education, and making the alternative energy and biotech industries a priority. If voters fail to recognize this hard work in next year’s state election, the president said, it will not bode well for the United States.
Where’s ACORN and Project Vote when you need them?

It’s times like these that make my day. This is real HOPE.

Finally Betty. 2010 may turn us around, but it might be too late at the rate that this man is trashing the economy.

Holy cows…you’re right. What would the world tour have been without all that and the bands?

Seems like a room isn’t the only thing Obama can not fill.
He can not fill a gym either!

Fairly certain I heard these numbers correctly:
when O stomped for NJ Gov. Jon Corzine at Fairleigh Dickinson U, Rutherford earlier this week, 3500 showed up in a gym that would have held 6000. And many present were reps of the media.
My source was NJN, a PBS org. on ch 13 NY.

So this is where the movement is headed, huh? Good, I hope it dribbles down to him and his TOTUS.
