[Mass]

4. Now Kerry. I wonder who else is speaking aside Obama and Patrick.

[jenmito]

5. Probably nobody else. Others all probably already spoke.

[jenmito]

6. Kick.

[jenmito]

7. James Taylor is singing!

[Whisp]

8. thank you, jen.

[Blaukraut]

9. CNN livestream keeps cutting the sound

I wanted to hear what James Taylor was saying before he started to sing and only caught the tail end of it. JK was really good, though. I especially liked how he said he wasn't going to yell at us to get us to vote, but instead talked common sense. He gave us concrete reasons why we should vote FOR the Dems and not just AGAINST the Republicans by listing MA specific accomplishments under Deval Patrick.

12. Same here. n/t

[Ineeda]

10. Now it's Mumbles Menino n/t

[jenmito]

13. "Mumbles Menino"

:rofl:

[Mass]

11. Menino now.\nt

[Mass]

14. Lt Gov. Tim Murray!

Go Tim.

[Mass]

15. Deval Patrick.

We are lucky to have such a leading team. Hopefully, people will not be fooled.

[jenmito]

16. Is he doing well in the polls?

[Mass]

17. He is ahead in all polls I have seen that are not internal Republican polls.

But our media are more and more RW leaning or simply inept in the case of the Boston Globe, and even if the state is doing better than others, it is hard for people here as well.

So, I am cautiously optimistic.

[jenmito]

18. Thanks for the info.

I hope he wins. He gives a good speech, too!

[Mass]

19. Obama, congratulating MA politicians and Vicky Kennedy.

[jenmito]

20. Obama's up!

[Mass]

21. Kick - Now praising Patrick.

Best in education

Best in economy

Best in healthcare.

[Ineeda]

22. He's getting hoarse. (Car-in-the-ditch analogy now.)

[Mass]

23. Good speech, though he is a little bit hoarse.

[jenmito]

24. I thought the same thing. He has to speak again tomorrow!

[Whisp]

25. woah! barn burner speech.

[jenmito]

26. He has to do it again tomorrow in OH with his wife. n/t

[Mass]

27. 15,000 to 16,000 thousand people at the rallye, including the overflow.
