1. Our party needs to learn that
Corporations dont vote, and its getting to the point where the voters are angry enough that the corporate money to buy ads to reelect Dem Congress members wont overcome that anger.

2. the media drove this....said she was down after she was up. corporations own the voting machines,
media spin will fit the phoney numbers...we don't have real elections anymore. It's fixed. All over the place in races, the one who is WAY up in the polls, (see, st. pete, fl), all of a sudden is attacked by the media with something stupid, and all of a sudden the numbers fall...so they say. Then the phoney voting tabulators, give the corporatists their guy. You think the poeple are really against the dem in Mass, cuz the media says so. Not true. But they say it...then the voting machines will say it. Get it?
