Joan Vennochi...

tracks Scott Brown's course back to the center in her Globe Column today. I'd link back to it, but it is protected by a pay wall as high as the Ramparts of Lost Troy.
But the gist is, "Scott is tracking back to the center, is he a real moderate or just faking it til election day? This is bad news for Elizabeth Warren!" yadda yadda yadda.
Nowhere in said column is the name Karl Rove mentioned who has parachuted bigtime into the Massachusetts Senatorial Election armed with money and campaign adverts and hell bent on re-elected Former State Senator Brown.
Now...to me, a mere amateur pundit, "a sarcastic rant driven chatterer" the real story is that so far, Karl's efforts have done nothing to dent Citizen Warren's numbers.

Now, I put up with a lot in Massachusetts, corrupt politicians, the malevolent lure of casino gambling, the lack of a policy to address deindustrialization/population drain, the Mass Turnpike and the awful roads in Belmont.
But I'll be good god damned if I'm gonna put up with some shitkicker punk like Karl Rove dictating to the descendents of John Adams and Charles Sumner and John F. Kennedy who will be our US Senator.
If Karl wants in on this Senate Race, let him move up here, register to vote and play the game Like A Man instead of all this maddening passive aggression from a distance.
***
Alas and alack, I am still hoping for a full and complete debate on the issues, if we don't get it from the democratic senatorial primary, then the matter must be addressed in the general election.
We don't get that if Karl Rove is muddying the waters...
Ah but that is the earnest liberal in me, ever hoping after patent impossibilities like free & fair debate.
