Mike Stopa
Michael Stopa, candidate for U.S. Congress in Massachusetts’ Third District, has just picked up the premium endorsement in the blogosphere. Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit says of Stopa, “Hey, he’s got my vote: He’s a Tea Partier and a nanotechnologist!”
Earlier, Rob Eno, author of the conservative blog, Red Mass Group, had also decided that Michael Stopa is the best candidate to go up against Democrat James McGovern in the Third District race for U.S. Congress on November 2nd. According to Eno, ” he is by all accounts far and away the person with the best grasp of the issues. I’ve seen him talk extemporaneously on a whole host of issues. He is the most ready to be a congressman on day one.”

Candidate for congress in the third district of Massachusetts, Mike Stopa, said today that public investment portions of the stimulus bill were a “sabotage” of the economy. Writing in the MetroWest Daily News on Wednesday, August 11, 2010, Stopa argues that the economy is entering into a double dip recession, although he says that it is more properly called “a single deepening recession with the mirage of recovery in the middle from a spike of largely useless spending.”
Stopa is running to replace incumbent James McGovern , who was first elected to Congress in 1996. He is a nanotechnologist and a member of the Physics Department at Harvard University. He describes himself as a “Reagan conservative” and has written extensively about economics, illegal immigration and terrorism. His web page is www.stopaforusrep.com.

The race for Jim McGovern’s 3rd Congressional District is heating up.
The 3rd district is the fourth most conservative district in Massachusetts.
More analysis of the race is available at RedMass.
Howie Carr makes a good point: Why are there so many Republicans running for Capitol Hill instead of Beacon Hill?
We’ve got 4 challengers for Jim McGovern, 4 challenging Bill Delahunt, 3 running against Barney Frank, 11 running against Niki Tsongas, and the list goes on. Most of these challengers haven’t even held statewide office.
Massachusetts needs political reform at the state level much more than it needs it at the federal level. A lot of these guys would be solid challengers for the state legislature instead of long shots for Congress.
Updated: New candidates as of March 23rd. Republicans smell blood, and like sharks, it just keeps attracting more of them.
