Patrick 46%, Baker 39% and Cahill 10% in Latest Suffolk Poll

October 13, 2010 – 10:17 pm

Poll Analysis from Jessica Van Sack:

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view.bg?articleid=1288667

Definitely not a good poll for Baker, but not as negative as many are saying. Can’t say I disagree with Van Sack, fallout from Cahill collapse appears to be helping Patrick.

Question 3, cutting sales tax to 3%: Support: 44%, Oppose: 49%

Question 1, repeal alcohol sales tax: Repeal: 46%, Maintain: 47%

Eli Beckerman on Jill Stein: And then there was one.

September 9, 2010 – 1:12 am

Jill Stein

As the dust settled on the first televised debate for this year’s gubernatorial contest in Massachusetts, one clear truth emerged. There was one candidate, and only one, who could legitimately be called “the people’s candidate.”While Scott Brown positioned himself as the people’s candidate in his January special election victory, a late surge of campaign cash and get-out-the-vote efforts from Wall Street executives and lobbyists and other special interests surely put his campaign over the top.

Capitalizing on the Democratic Party machine’s condescending sense of entitlement to the late Senator Kennedy’s seat, Brown asserted that it was “the people’s seat”, and rode his truck right into the leadership vacuum that the Democratic Party has helped to create. But Brown’s slick posturing does not make for genuine leadership. And as economic and ecological meltdown continues, that leadership vacuum continues to grow.

Massachusetts Gubernatorial Debate about Cape Wind

August 18, 2010 – 1:05 am

The original post is on MassInc. The debate was at Suffolk University on August 16th, and focused on just Cape Wind.

Baker and Cahill come down against Cape Wind based mostly on cost and the massive subsidies to make it work. Patrick supports it based on the environmental benefits and on the jobs it creates. Patrick also cites how Cape Wind would protect Masssachusetts from cost volatility.

Stein is especially strong and convincing. She classifies herself as a commited environmental activist but opposes, like Baker and Cahill, based on cost and low cost efficiency. Where she really shines is how she calls out Patrick for taking contributions from Cape Wind interests, and for the closed door deals that got it done. She calls on the Governor to return contributions from Cape Wind lobbyists.

At one point Patrick calls Stein a “mole” and she retorts that “you have to be a mole to know what is happening on Beacon Hill.”

It is amazing to see the Green Party and Republicans largely in agreement. The debate ends up being to a large degree about transparency and insider “pay to play” contracts.

Democracy's Dawn in Massachusetts?

August 5, 2010 – 10:48 pm

With the state legislature wrapping up its session last week, another two years have been squandered. Two years we couldn’t afford to waste, down the drain.

In those two years, we inched closer to runaway climate change. Environmental writer and activist Bill McKibben has added another “a” to Earth to show that we have already fundamentally altered the ecological balance of the home upon which we depend for all things.

In those two years, the economic system upon which we depend for most things, unraveled to the point that our federal government has fundamentally transformed its role to a booster of private capital and private profits, while socializing the costs.

Jill Stein's Online "Democracy Days" Fundraiser

July 7, 2010 – 11:38 pm

Several supporters of Jill Stein for Governor have organized an online fundraising web site for Jill Stein called “Democracy Days“.

The concept is simple:

Democracy Days are single-day fundraising events that can blow the top off Beacon Hill corruption and influence-peddling and put the voice of We The People front-and-center in the decisions that affect our lives. With your help, we can take the “money bomb” concept and make it truly explosive, showing big money interests exactly what democracy looks like!

Governor's Race Poll Analysis: Patrick 45%, Baker 34%, Cahill 16%

June 26, 2010 – 1:39 am

Age, Sex and Race Playing a Significant Role

The race is tightening. In the latest Rasmussen Poll, Patrick who last polled at 45% has seen support drop to 41%. He is still seeing benefits from good economic news. Before recent reports of an economic turn around Patrick was polling in the low 30′s.

Baker continues to rise. As the number of voters with no opinion of Baker shrinks he is seeing his poll numbers rise as expected. Probably not as quickly as he needs to, but the differential between Patrick and Baker is narrowing.
