The Man We Need...

is Adlai Ewing Stevenson...for Governor of course.

Someone realistic, diligent, with a lofty sense of purpose, an appointer of honest public servants, and with a stern incorruptible nature.
THAT is the kind of man to take on the gubernatorial sinecure on Beacon Hill.
A man of duty, not carnal ambition.
A man who will exchange value for the public dollar, not some tax fixated retardate.
Someone who loves Massachusetts, and not the wowsers of Alabama and Missouri.
And lastly, a man who cannot be BOUGHT, not by Bechtel, Bush, or the Brokerage Industry.
Someone like Adlai in other words.
Hell he cleaned up Illinois in just four short years, shaped up the state police, chased the loafers out of Civil Service, and kept a weather eye on the budget. Frankly, he did TOO good a job as Governor, by 1952 the whole of the democratic party was prostrate at his feet begging him to run for the White House. Like Cincinnatus, he had to dragged off the plow so to speak to make the race...when was the last time anyone in public life was so modest?
Certainly not Romney, does anyone else recall the unseemly haste he made to Boston to shoulder Jingle Money Swift aside when Christy Mihos showed him a favorable poll?
Its the same unseemingly and revolting haste Romney is making now to all these out of state political appearances wherein little is expressed save a savage disdain for our Commonwealth.
no...let us have Adlai or someone like him, hardworking, modest, dedicated to our interests...that is the man or woman to elect in 2006.

I want a governor who says and means stuff like this:

"The job of creating a sense of respect for public office and public officeholders among our young is the most important work we have in hand"
