Reply #2: I wonder how he can improve his PR

[karynnj]

It does seem that his staff puts out his statements on nearly every issue. It is clear that he does make himself available for all the MA papers - as they always seem to have quotes from him on issues.

I agree with you that this does not seem to get out as it should, but I can't really see many things he can do differently. I think you have spoken of him trying to call in more on radio or TV shows in MA - which would likely be helpful. Didn't he do many in 2008? It might be that now - far from 2014, that the risk of calling a RW show and being ambushed is not justified by the small potential gain. He might be counting on good work now and being available for the media now as enough for this time period.

If so, he could very well be right. I also remember that similar things were said in 2007, but by 2008, virtually every paper in MA endorsed him and all suddenly remembered all the things he had done, his intellect and his character - even the Boston Herald endorsed him.

As to this thread - and the obnoxious Blue Mass one you pointed to about a month ago, it is sickening that people who should know better are so cynical and unwilling to see him as he is.
