1. thanks!

I'll kick this and ask a question...

Are these races seriously contested? Here in John Olver's district, it's hard to tell there's even an election coming up, but I've been wondering about the rest of the state.

3. hardly . . . that's because we here in Massachusetts WANT

the incumbents to return to office. We like their politics. Olver, yes. Markey, yes. McGovern, yes.

That nutcase, Crews, is an ex-state legislator from Georgia who learned that it's easier to make money w/ his "foundation" monies that bash gays across America. Crews landed in Massachusetts to activate his viciousness against gays and gay marriage but failed. He was lobbying with the Catholic Church and various other religious entities who want to combo their religion into our laws.

Crews is so reactionary that I doubt anyone is taking his candidacy seriously. After all, this is Massachusetts!

edited to add: here's further stuff on Crews at this DU thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=158x1206
