MA Republican whining begins in earnest

It's predictable, I suppose, that the MA GOP, having suffered a truly epic humiliation by being pretty much wiped out on the same night that their comrades around the country were making historic gains, would feel sorry for themselves and whine. But it's still unbecoming. (Let me say up front that there are several very interesting and non-whiny posts and comments over at RMG.)

Exhibit A, of course, is the hilarious letter from MA GOP chairman Jenn Nassour, which Bob has already appropriately added to the Weekly Joke Revue. http://www.bluemassgroup.com/diary/21448/weekly-joke-revue

Exhibit B is vanquished candidate Charlie Baker. I do give him props for a gracious, non-whiny concession speech on election night. But this kind of thing really makes you wonder. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/11/05/baker_lays_his_loss_to_a_narrow_window/

This is perhaps the best line:

"Some swing voters seemed to sour on Republicans in the final days due to national news coverage regarding a Republican takeover of Congress," Baker wrote.

2. I'll bet they were peeing themselves

in anticipation after Scott Brown got elected.

One thing they should remember...don't EVER try to predict what the voters in Mass will do.

3. And you expected anything different?

They acted the same after Patrick won in 2006, and again in 2008 when Obama won. Just a bunch of crybabies.

4. Well they can cried all they want but it won't change a thing.
