This reminds me that people should be aware that Warren is far from secure here in MA. Remember we firmly lean blue but tend to have Republican governors... I run across too many people who claim to lean left but still get rubbed the wrong way by her and dislike her because she is "angry and arrogant" (because women can't ever get mad, right? *eyeroll*). I mean, there are valid reasons to be critical, as we've discussed in here, but she'll be better than the options from the right. Her likely main competition is already having large near-daily events, and is completely non-threatening demeanor-wise, which could work for or against him. http://www.geoffdiehl.com/about-geoff If you want her to stay in Congress, consider giving support, even if just verbal.
Here's hoping LJ stays active enough we're able to share updates here...
I feel like even word of mouth helps! You probably have a pulse on the situation with your proximity but I feel like progressives in the rest of the country are like, "MA is safe" when it may not be as much as one thinks. Keeping up the awareness and conversations can be impactful, too, especially at this earlier stage.
Yup, and even though the registered Republican numbers are pretty low, the lean-left-socially-but-not-enough-to-matter-because-we're-pretty-damn-centrist-or-even-right-leaning-economically numbers are high. A LOT of moderates and also a decent chunk of libertarians (not as many as NH with the latter, though!)
