Ballot Questions

Governor's Council

Mass. Senate

Mass. House

FIRST DISTRICT

60%  D -*JOHN OLVER, Amherst

35%  R - WILLIAM GUNN, Ware

  5%  I - MICHAEL ENGEL, Southampton

Columnist Howie Carr often compares John Olver to an oak door. That's about right.

SECOND DISTRICT

57%  D -*RICHARD NEAL, Springfield

43%  R - TOM WESLEY, Hopedale

We've liked Tom Wesley since the beginning -- solid on all the issues.

THIRD DISTRICT

56%  D -*JAMES McGOVERN, Worcester

39%  R - MARTY LAMB, Holliston

  4%  I - PATRICK BARRON, Worcester

Marty Lamb is aggressive and is certainly working hard. He's had more press releases, more events, more emails, and more endorsements than anyone, it seems. James McGovern is not well known but trust us on this: He's worse than anyone in the delegation except Barney Frank.

FOURTH DISTRICT

54%  D -*BARNEY FRANK, Newton [GVF]

43%  R - SEAN BIELAT, Brookline

  1%  I - SUSAN ALLEN, Brookline

  1%  T - DONALD JORDAN, Wareham

Barney Frank needs no introduction to anyone in America, and is our first choice to be thrown out of office. Bielat looks like he's poised to do it.

FIFTH DISTRICT

55%  D -*NIKKI TSONGAS, Lowell

42%  R - JON GOLNIK, Carlisle

  2%  L - DALE BROWN, Chelmsford

  1%  C - ROBERT CLARK, Berlin

Golnik is pro-choice but supports traditional marriage. He's still a thousand percent better than Tsongas, who's behind every nutty left-wing cause there is. Dale Brown is pro-life and good on most other issues but supports gay rights.

SIXTH DISTRICT

57%  D -*JOHN TIERNEY, Salem

43%  R - BILL HUDAK, Boxford

Hudak can't shake the wrath of the Boston liberal media because he once had an anti-Obama yard sign, and also asked about Obama's birth certificate. All the more reason to vote for him.

SEVENTH DISTRICT

66%  D -*EDWARD MARKEY, Malden

34%  R - GERRY DEMBROWSKI, Woburn

Gerry Dembrowski has the best campaign YouTube video of the year: "Ed Markey: The Undocumented Congresman" where Gerry goes to Markey's neighborhood and asks his neighbors if they've ever actually seen him.

EIGHTH DISTRICT

D -*MICHAEL CAPUANO, Somerville

Capuano is an obnoxious hard-core leftist, but in Somerville he fits right in.  It's still too bad he has no opposition.

NINTH DISTRICT

68%  D -*STEPHEN LYNCH, Boston

26%  R - VERNON HARRISON, Braintree

  6%  I - PHILIP DUNKELBARGER, Westwood

Vernon Harrison is the real thing. He's a passionate social conservative and is 100% pro-life. He came out nowhere and won the primary and has the momentum to possibly pull it off, given the dynamics this year. As we've said before, Stephen Lynch started out many years ago as a pro-family  state rep. Now he prides himself on being among the homosexual movement's best friends in Congress. 

TENTH DISTRICT

47%  D - WILLIAM KEATING, Quincy

42%  R - JEFFREY PERRY, Sandwich

  6%  I - MARYANNE LEWIS, Scituate

  4%  I - JAMES SHEETS, Quincy

  1%  B - JOE VAN NES, West Tisbury

This is about as conservative a district as there is in Massachusetts, so on paper Jeffrey Perry should take it, even though the polls show it's a tight race now. Let's hope so. Marianne Lewis is a former Democrat state rep who decided to run for Congress at pretty much the last minute. Most people have no idea who she is.

This week the Democrats have begun a vicious and obviously well-funded attack-ad campaign against Perry in the Boston media. Let's hope he has the resources to fight back and win!
