Man bites dog! Four candidates agree!
Gubernatorial politics in Massachusetts is pretty competitive, so it is something to note when all four candidates agree on something.

ReplyDeleteI guess there is sanity somewhere in the world! The thought of Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown agreeing on ANYTHING, even the day of the week, is incomprehensible.
