Answer: Because their candidate is so far out of the mainstream (on taxes, health care, welfare reform, etc) Bill and Hillary Clinton voters have a real home in my State Senate candidacy this fall.

Politics is not bean-bag, but sometimes charges and silly assertions rise to the level that they must be addressed.  After a 90 minute, www.Patch.com Live-Chat, the MA Democratic Party has tried in vein to take 1 comment I made, (out of context) and turn it into a full fledged, reality TV Show.

It is not working, and I thank them for the publicity. Here is the real reason the MA Democratic Party is attacking me in August:

Jaime Eldridge

Incumbent

Voted AGAINST stopping early parole for repeat, violent felons and sex offenders.
Voted to RAISE most state taxes in the middle of worst economy since 1929.
Voted AGAINST Food Stamp (EBT) Cash Reform.
Voted FOR in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.
Voted FOR Sweatheart Tax Giveaways to Failed Companies (like Evergreen Solar).

vs.
