Attention Must Be Paid
February 25, 2006
Will the Massachusetts media give up its love affair with Deval Patrick for at least five minutes and focus on another accomplished candidate who stands a strong likelihood of victory in November?
His name is Bob Parks, a veteran political commentator and creator of the successful blog Black and Right. Parks is running as a Republican for state representative in the 2nd Franklin District, determined to help restore some desperately needed balance to the deep-blue Massachusetts Legislature.
Peruse his website and you will find his proposals for common-sense remedies to the state’s housing and employment woes. Google his name and you will find outstanding political insight from a man whose ideas will invigorate the hack-weakened General Court.
Granted, the thought of a Republican winning a seat in the Democratic-dominated Bay State legislature is enough to make lefty political reporters move up their next visit to the shrink, but could they overcome their bias long enough to give this man his due?
This is a man who won’t be ignored by the voters in November. So don’t ignore him now.
