		<description>DK - Gov.-to-Be Mihos, who will scoop the Lunchpail Democrats who might have voted for Cahill, will remember this as a turning point in his campaign.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re surprised, Dan, that entrenched politicians engage in favoritism and nest feathering?

You voted for them....again and again and again and again.

Suck it up and admit that the professional politician is perhaps not the best for the body politic, and you and the liberal MA voter may have a role in the problem.

Conservative professional politicians have the same problem, so please don&#039;t divert this into an liberal vs conservative discussion. 

It&#039;s a human nature issue that needs an effective mechanism for the check-and-balance.

A one-party state is not the answer.</description>

		<description>With the exception of $1 million outflow from the treasury, putting Patrick and Cahill at a disadvantage may be very good news for the Commonwealth.

Maybe this should be Merry Christmas, Massachusetts.</description>
