If you read my posts description of what I think of him, I actually think it's glowing.<BR/><BR/>Timmeh Wakefield rocks my socks. I think his loss is why we're tanking, even more so than Viratek.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523572927796479670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-1156945316037081042006-08-30T09:41:00.000-04:002006-08-30T09:41:00.000-04:00Oy.

You said they shared the same position up until Andrea went in support of it. <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, you said she went and supported it because it polled high. Well, it polls high because it's the right thing to do... and politicians seeing something is the right thing to do is a good thing, so while she wasn't early in the game (which is preferable), she at least was convinced - be it poll numbers, trends of shifting support, etc.<BR/><BR/>It seems silly to criticize her for shifting her support on it when at least she shifted it, when Tim Murray has yet to officially do so. <BR/><BR/>Like I said - I really like Tim Murray and his record in Worcester is great; he clearly deserves a shot to emulate it across the state in some capacity. If he wins, I'll be a very happy man. If Andrea or Deb wins, I'll be a very happy man. <BR/><BR/>My whole point in this blog was that they were all great candidates, not just why I voted for Silbert. Taking it as an attack on the other candidates is definitely putting words into my mouth that just aren't there because I could easily rally around any of them (I've never seen such a strong crop of Lt. Governors IMHO).Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523572927796479670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-1156909673477260742006-08-29T23:47:00.000-04:002006-08-29T23:47:00.000-04:00hl peary, I totally swear 2 weeks ago I was leanin...hl peary, I totally swear 2 weeks ago I was leaning on Deb Goldberg. Voting for Andrea Silbert was a last minute decision and I only even started mulling over her after I saw the NECN mini-debate, before I was DEFINITELY leaning towards Goldberg.<BR/><BR/>And I don't think my compliments are that off handed, especially for Timmey! I really, truly think he's a great choice.<BR/><BR/>And on Tim's position on Cape Wind, he could definitely be in support of it and I was just misinformed. My only knowledge on his stance came from that BMG post I linked - and if you can provide an article showing Tim's support or some quotes, I'll GLADLY update this peice (and probably even make a whole new blog about it). <BR/><BR/>PS: peary, just for evidence that I didn't support Silbert for months - look at who I "strongly support." If I thought Silbert was so much better than the other candidates, she'd be there... but because I think they're all great choices, I'm not going to "strongly support" any of them.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523572927796479670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-1156888189146348152006-08-29T17:49:00.000-04:002006-08-29T17:49:00.000-04:00Ryan...Let's try and be honest...anyone who has fo...Ryan...Let's try and be honest...anyone who has followed your posts for the past months knows exactly who you were voting for so your left-handed compliments to Murray and Goldberg came off a bit smarmy.<BR/><BR/>For the record...Andrea and Tim have held the same position on Cape Wind throughout the camapign...but once Gabrieli polled on the question and released the results, Andrea quickly put her finger to the wind and just as quickly made up her mind.<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, it was Goldberg who had the courage to disagree with Uncle Ted in public. And Murray has been forthright about supporting wind power as an alternative...why not! He has supported many wind projects in Central and Western Mass before there was ever a Cape Wind to talk about..see there is life beyond 128 and 495!HLCorbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993012384480409302noreply@blogger.com
