[Stinky The Clown]

I am NOT happy about this.

1. All good things come to an end.

She's a strong woman, and she got her base out in force better than he did. I have no doubt she's going to represent the district with strength and ferocity.

2. Why not? (n/t)

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Okay, the only thing I know about this is that a white man lost to a black woman.

And this is bad because?

[Stinky The Clown]

4. The race card? Really?

Go away.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. No, I'm not playing the race card.

Nor the gender card. I'm only pointing out the obvious.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Why? Was there a chance I missed the obvious. You played the race card.

Go away.

6. Michael Capuano is a good progressive.

They didn't have policy differences.

[Submariner]

17. Capuano is a homegrown Liberal

who knows all the in and outs of Mass politics, and the woman is a newbie from Chicago that will be out of her depth in comparison to Capuano.

8. They are both good progressive candidates.

Capuano has served that district well for a long time, however maybe they decided they were ready for a change.

9. Bingo

10. Where are they at and what party are they in,

sorry not familiar with the names, never heard of them>

[OhioBlue]

11. Both dems - Boston area - Primary for Congress

Seat previously held by JFK and Tip O'Neill.

12. I really don't know why Stinky is so upset about this.

She's a really good Democrat.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. So was he

Why are we going after GOOD LIBERAL Democrats when the party is out in the cold?

Yeah, I know. Liberal district. No loss.

Maybe she should have moved to a district where there would be an actual step forward when she won.

[seaglass]

16. I would have loved to have her take Stephen Lynch's seat or even Niki Tsongas's open seat.

I like Ayanna but hate to lose Mike.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Those outcomes would have been terrific. And I would have been cheering for her.

[mythology]

13. Is there a reason?

She got more votes. I'm not sure why that makes you upset that he conceded. What was he supposed to do? Hold his breath?

15. Read my comments in this thread.
