If Nangle is left high and dry in this election, it will demonstrate electoral weakness. This will only encourage a primary opponent(s) in 2014. Assuming, Nangle gets that far. ;v)
I will be closely watching the “Blank Total” for 17th Middlesex.

Blanks count for nothing.
Mr. Nangle is encouraging Democrats to do a little ticket-splitting. Honoring his request by voting for Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and Martin Burke is the best way to cast a vote of appreciation for this call to bipartisanship.

I’m not sure Nangle has what you would call a “loyal following”. There just hasn’t been any serious alternative from within the party. Yet.

Pablo’s logic is quite sound.
My vote is in the 16th Middlesex.

I don’t believe in voting the person not the party in most cases, because the party (Democrats) are the ones who espouse my values. However, in a legislature where one seat changeover is not going to change the supermajority whatsoever, where the Democrat in question is actually NOT a Democrat - and I don’t say that lightly as I hate “DINO” hunts usually - and the Republican appears to be at least credibly more liberal on some issues than the Democratic incumbent…I can’t say that I would discourage people from doing what Mimi is doing. Not to mention, Nangle is pretty corrupt and utterly GOB, he supported the MORE corrupt of the two people running for Speaker last time…
I know one thing - I NEVER vote for Nangle. I usually leave it blank. I can’t - won’t - endorse a Republican. But I sure as hell would not mourn if Nangle was unseated.
