most pertinent line from the hearings.. MBS Jan 2013 #13

I would think that he might want to see a Dem win again in 2016, wisteria Jan 2013 #14

I would think that after 4 years, at age 73 (with Teresa at 78), he might want to karynnj Jan 2013 #17

Possibly, but he is a young 73. It might depend on how much he accomplishes in four years. wisteria Jan 2013 #24

No. Massinc is a poor pollster in general and RW one as well. Mass Jan 2013 #19

I have seen his utterly strange facebook posts karynnj Jan 2013 #20

Here, as he seems to have deleted them today. Mass Jan 2013 #21
