couldn't vote Lynch
I was going to vote Lynch until he jumped in with "Malarky" to bash the 2nd Amendment without any cavet. He dismissed us out of hand, so I did the same. Winslow got my vote.

Voted Winslow. Looks like the fraud Gomez is going to win. I will not vote for him in the general election if he does.

It such is the case, I'd rather stay home when the special election comes around. I'm done rewarding MA GOP with my vote.

seems like maybe the left leaning Independents are playing their own game... knowing Markey has a sizeable lead and probably wins with just the registered Democrats, they pull a Republican ballot and kick up Gomez's numbers... Then at worst they have a Democrat with an R after his name. 
Ugh, looks like in writing in Dan Fishman in June.
Must be something in the f'n water again.![[puke2]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/031.gif "Puke2 [puke2]")
Let's be honest. We are surrounded by stupid sheep.
well, Gomez got it...at least ( I think ) better than Marly,.
By the way there was a refferenedum question about supporting " the Govenor's" proposals on increasing gun control on the refferendum in Brookfield . It failed
593 to 348. At least some good news there.

LOL @ "Marly". He does look like a character out of a Dickens novel.

I don't mean this to be offensive, but the idea of (and the mere phrase) the "Libertarian Party" always struck me as a bit oxymoronic.

The crazy thing is, Gomez didn't just win--he crushed Sullivan and Winslow. I'm still trying to figure out WTF happened.
One thing's for sure: These debates will be mighty entertaining.

Hmm, maybe that is why I have never joined.

The Libertarian designation as such is just to avoid having pedantic conversations that you are a coalition of freedom loving people with a diverse focus of which liberty(ies) for which they advocate most, but who share a common interest in small/limited government as a means to accomplish this end.

, It's not that oxymoronic when its a party who's goal is to provide maximum liberty for the smallest minority, the individual, through the use of the current political system we have today.

It's simple, the majority of independent MA voters voted for the most liberal republican candidate ensuring that the state will be represented by a liberal no matter what.
The debates will go like this:
Markey: Gomez, you hate women, why do you oppose abortion?!?
Gomez: Uhmmmm... I don't hate women, and I wouldn't overturn R. v W.
Markey: Yes you would, you're an evil Republican, you hate females you oppose abortion!
Crowd applauds, goes home and votes for Markey.
Transcript from recent debate with names changed...
Lynch is more middle of the road. In a special election, those voters are least likely to turn out. Also his campaign strategy sucked.
In a state of 6.5 million, about three quarters of a million voted yesterday, including both parties.
******
Ditto. I voted for Winslow and can't figure out how that phony Gomez won.

None of us could come to a consensus of which candidate to support, between Winslow and Sullivan, so we split the vote. On top of that all who pulled a Dem ballot to vote against Markey, pulled votes from a Republican. It may have made a difference in a perfect scenario, but it would have been close. We have no one to blame but ourselves. WE screwed it up!

Yeah, except Gomez didn't just beat Winslow and Sullivan...he annihalated them with a 51% total. Take all the people who voted for Lynch to block Markey and I still don't think you make up the difference.
If you add Sullivans and Winslows votes together, you still get a Gomez win of 3,728. Maybe you had almost 4,000 Lynchie voters who would have crossed over, but then you'd have to assume none of them would have voted for Gomez.
Something is in the water, I swear....
