   Bernstein is an obvious lefty.

   When he attacks Ogonowski on his choice of framing the election .. he mucks it all up:

   Instead, he came out and said that this IS a referendum, but on the Democrats in Congress. So the election in the 5th CD has become a referendum on who’s more wicked suckier, George Bush or Congressional Democrats.

   Not at all what Jim said. He said it was a referendum against ALL of Congress, and its inability to get anything done. He spoke to their failure on energy, race relations, health care, etc.

   This guy is just trying to redefine the election to the way he wants it to be.. D vs R rather than what it is: Insider vs Outsider, party rubber stamp vs independent thinker, Whole Foods vs Market Basket.

   This snarky remark:

   Once you get past immigration, though, Ogonowski’s kinda screwed — which is a big reason why, in last week’s NECN debate, his answer to pretty much every non-immigration policy question was: “I don’t know, but there should be a bipartisan, non-bickering process to figure out the best solution.”

   Just rewords what Jim is saying, that both sides need to find a process to get what needs to be done.. done.

   And again, using his snide attitude, he refers to Ogonowski’s new ad this way

   Instead, he goes for the tear ducts by dragging out his dead brother’s widow to talk about her fatherless kids. Oy.

   When the Lowell Sun correctly says that the point of this ad was to avoid any negativity. No one can blame the guy for bringing forward his own history with 9/11. Tsongas had Clinton in to talk about her dead husband.

   Ogo’s the worst kind of insider…taking his marching orders from the Washington consultant class in the last couple of months. Don’t tell me he isn’t. It’s so painfully obvious to everyone.

   However, Niki has constantly talked about the issues. Ogo can’t even articulate how he’d vote on SCHIP override. He’s the great equivocator.
