Michael Moynihan Doesn’t Link
Here Often Enough, But . . .

. . . that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. The Reason magazine senior editor was at Northeastern University in Boston for the Obama-Coakley rally Sunday, and was amazed by the turnout of Scott Brown supporters outside Cabot Center:

Here are a few photos of the Brown supporters who lined Huntington Avenue in front of the Obama-Coakley event.

Libertarians? In Boston? Who knew?

Poster slogan of the year?

Somebody told them it was Rule 5 Sunday.

    Andrew Sullivan goes into full spin cycle:

    This Senate seat was held warm for Ted decades ago, when he was parachuted in and stayed there for ever. Part of the revolt is based on the fact that Coakley seems to be the ultimate Kennedy clan crony, and was also plopped in by a tiny number of primary voters, and seems to imbue the arrogance of the Democratic party elite. Most voters know that she could lord it over them for decades. But they’ll almost certainly be rid of Brown in a few years.

    If that works keep telling yourself that.

    Prior to November 2008, there were five libertarians in MA. We used to have our conventions in a booth at the 99.

    Looks like we may need to move a few tables together this year.
