and focusing on the local (progressive) issues that matter. There is another AA woman (from the current mayor's office) that is considering running, but hasn't said anything publicly yet. It will be interesting to see how things play out.
I have not been much into political Twitter and blogs since the dustup in this group awhile back; because they have become a 365 zoo of outrageous and stupid. You are right, they are stupid. (The Markey being boring thing sounds so American Idol). Let him, Warren, Kerry, and Pressley shine without pining them against each other. It's not a competition, it's about who are best qualified to run things and get the job done, which is why the US media still is a big joke.
The parts about Warren are interesting. Good luck to her. It may not be long before she gets called an "emoprog" by the so-called pragmatic Dems. Sanders has already won first place on the Emo Honor Roll. Beginning to think it's not about Obama, Biden, etc just trying to make a living being outraged at everyone or anything 24-7.
Also agree about Obama (there have been some things to disagree with him on i.e. education), but the outrage (not saying that it is not sincere) can be so middle school in social media land, which is why I have been sticking to music on Twitter (that can get crazy too!) and blogs.
Thanks for the perspective on the Boston Mayor (media) race. You, Tay and others are right, MA is a diva state. TN is a when it's convenient-volunteer state.
As for Keystone, still remain hopeful that Kerry can rock and roll (hat tip to babylonsister) with the murky kxl. Didn't know that Obama already signed on the southern part, but it is interesting that it is not included in the budget (do not know if that is a good/bad thing).
However, it sounded like he is/was telling environmentalists to brace themselves for the final decision in his speech in Frisco last week, but agree, we shall see.
Thanks for the petition. Peace.
