I think they're dead wrong. We have a chance to take back at least 2 Congressional seats from the Republicans this year if we could just get the turnout and legalization would do it.

Unfortunately, even if the legislature passed legalization, I'm sure Brown would veto it given his (very recent) anti-pot stance.
