Offical Massachusetts Democratic Gubernatorial Primary thread

Was never bothered about who'd win this primary, as long as it's a Democratic pick-up come Fall

Dave

No DINOs for you to endorse like Cuellar?

Quite . Then this is Massachussetts not Texas. I'm a pragmatist. And when I think of Cueller I think of a Texas Democrat who has the potential to be a statewide candidate one day

Dave

Yeah, it's real hard to win an general election as a Democrat in Texas when no one else is running.

What I meant to say is that I supported Cueller because I see him as being a viable statewide candidate in Texas one day. Any Democrat can be a statewide candidate, whether they can win statewide in Texas is another question and I think Cueller could

Dave

Two problems
1. Cuellar ran as a Democrat because only a Democrat can get elected in that district
2. Chet Edwards manages to win in a much more Republican area of Texas (went 70% for Bush in 2004), and is more liberal.

As for SamSpade's comments, this was all before the court changed the districts, so they're not at all relevant.

I really, really hope that Cuellar runs against Cornyn in 2008 for Senate.

He will lose, and then we can get a real Democrat into his seat in Congress.

Define a real Democrat? A Democrat does not have to be some uber-left liberal dove, you know . The party would be much stronger if it was not perceived as being so

Dave

 that sh**t, this party would be much stronger if it didn't have "Democrats" like Cuellar backstabbing it at every chance.

Cuellar voted to permanantly repeal the estate tax. Explain to me how he gives one rats asses about anyone his rich buddies like Bush. Cuellar is why 218 Democrats isn't enough, ing DINOs.

Dave Hawk just wishes to undermine the Democratic party.

Not gonna happen, though it's a nice thought.

You're right, Cuellar is probably too much of a coward to run statewide against a Republican.

Well, he could always run as a Republican. He's really the most likely Democrat to switch parties in Congress. Even Ben Nelson and Gene Taylor seem more solid.

this thread is about massachusetts.

Which means that there are probably no DINOs to bash.
