sympathetic portrait of Congressman John Olver from the Boston Globe.
I love the man's politics even if he is likely the single dullest man in the US Congress (which is really saying something) and at age seventy something, isn't it time to leave under his own volition?
True that can also be said to Representative's Frank and Markey...But those guys are serious for real power playas of the "informal US Senator" rank.
Hard to convince such frequenters of "Meet the Press" to depart quietly.
Then again, the rest of the delegation is still young enough to entertain a belief in future seniority & good works built out of a safe seat in Massachusetts.
My point is simple and stark, once again Massachusetts got screwed by the census data, we have to render up a congressional seat. Lets do it gracefully and without recourse to a contested primary or the courts. Lets not lose focus in the Bay State in 2012, which should be on ousting Brown and retaining Obama.
Its time for someone in the congressional delegation to show some leadership....any takers?
