Not to turn this into a political discussion, but it's too bad Jane
decided not to run I think it would have helped the GOP in Mass to have a
real race, the media (there, I turned it into a broadcast thread) would
have probably remained focused on the Mitt v Jane race til the
primarys....now (after a few days as talk show fodder) the focus returns
to the Dems because there is no GOP race.  Too bad, I was looking forward
to it.
