BUMPED: New Dennis Campaign Clip, Plus, Next House Located For Nancy

by Smitty Update: It looks like FilmLadd strikes again, this time reprising A Few Good Men. Before anyone gets all nitpicky about the smoking materials, your attention is drawn to this link, which implies that Nancy is OK with a blunt, as long as no one is dressed in S&M garb, not that I have […]

Poll: Sean Bielat 63%, Barney Frank 31%

OK, it’s merely an unscientific online poll at the Web site of the New Bedford Standard-Times, but that won’t reduce the shock factor for Democratic Party operatives when they see the headline via their Google alerts.

Forget Client #9 And Whatshername: Give Me Da Tech Guy And William Jacobson
