Tea Partiers attacking MA Delegation

[boston bean]

I just got push polled by Marty Lamb(TP). I live in McGoverns district and will vote for him. It was obvious Lamb paid for the call, but it also push polled Frank and Pelosi.

It got me to thinking how many repubs running announced their candidacy or attended tea parties. Scott Brown did, but the point got lost on most when the general came around. But every race here is MA, except one (Tierney (D) v Hudak (R)) for the Republican side has a Tea Party angle.

1. No sane Republican wanted to run. The race to follow is Keating vs Perry.

Hudak is not a Tea Party guy? He is a birther, which is no better.

[boston bean]

2. I admit I only looked for links with tea party connections and he denies being part of the TP.

4. Perry is a teabagger. He's a dangerous man.

I so want to see Keating mop the floor with him.

3. And all of them are going to lose.

Gunn is running against Olver, my guy, and he has no money and no name recognition outside of Hardwick and Ware (local boy...he lives in Ware).

McGovern is pounding Lamb--his yard signs outnumber Lamb's at least two-to-one and McGovern is a tenacious campaigner.

Ed Markey will lose when hell freezes over--did you guys see him during the BP oil spill?

[boston bean]

5. i see many signs for McGovern. If he loses I will cry!

I wonder if all the repugs across the country are tea partiers?

To see almost every R candidate is well connected to the TP.

6. A while ago, the GOP released their district hit-list.

None of the MA districts were on it.

They're not funding any of these guys.

7. I can't imagine Jim losing. But someone paid for this push poll. It was out of GA.

I can't remember the name of the outfit.

But it was pretty nasty!

I went to a town hall last year where Neal and McGovern were and a bunch of teaparty asshats were there to disrupt. I have quite a story to go with it, but I think Jim McGovern and Neal would remember me! LOL

I stuck up for them, against a whole mob of asshats.

It was a terrible experience all and all, although I chuckle a little now.

8. Frank's opponent was pushing an internal poll yesterday, where he was 10 points behind Frank.

As for Markey, his district voted at 60 % for Coakley, so I cant see him lose against an unknown Republican (I am in his district and discovered his opponent by looking at the candidates' list. He is probably very underfunded),

[boston bean]

10. yeah I saw that. Touting a closing of the race....

Well, the poll mentioned frank and pelosi both about 5 times.

"Knowing that J McGovern is more liberal that Pelosi and Frank would that change how you feel about J McGovern", etc etc. type of questions

People fall for this shit.

[Arkana]

11. The teabagger in my district, Bill Gunn, has approximately 3K cash on hand.

Olver has over 100 times that.

[Arkana]

9. Check out Nate Silver's data on these races...they'll make you breathe a HUGE

sigh of relief. No one is remotely in danger of losing, except MAYBE the new guy in the MA-10. And I expect that he'll win a close one.

And Jim McGovern and Richard Neal are fighters--they were calling for debates immediately after the teabaggers won their primaries. McGovern leaves NOTHING to chance--he wasn't even opposed the last two cycles and he STILL campaigned his ass off.

[boston bean]

12. I will, tyvm!
