JK to hold Townhall Meeting in Waltham, MA this Sunday-April 10th!
..at 1:30 PM. As I understand it, Waltham is not far from Boston (8-10 miles?) and is accessible by the MBTA/Commuter Rail. At this point, consider me there! :bounce: :

I love that he does so many of these types of events, all over the state. Again, Scott Brown..WHO? And WHERE?

Anyhow, if anyone would like to join me, please let me know either in this thread or via PM! Would be awesome to have a Kerrycrat get together of sorts, though I know it's very short notice. But I thought I'd throw it out there nonetheless! :)

Feels great to be back here btw! :D I have a lot to catch up on (though I have been reading most every day--just had to get my act together re: my star! :)), but thought this would be a great place to start! ;)

1. That should really be fun

If I was a suspicious person, I might suspect that JK is doing these all over the state to set a high bar - in terms of number, length and especially unvetted questions - for a Senator actually up for re-election. But, there is a good reason to do it just because people need to be able to meet with their representatives.

What I wonder is whether there is a Scott Brown bubble - that if it is punctured by something real will change the game enormously. So, far the media is covering for him, but he actually has to meet people campaigning - and he is not a good speaker and his knowledge in committees is underwhelming.

The fact the media has hyped him more than they did Obama when he was first there - and his book really sold poorly considering the amount of publicity. After all it was a book that got nation wide press and it is from a major publishing house - the numbers have to be a disappointment.

4. Aww thank you! :) Shame we can't make it happen. :( Would've loved to have gone with you!
My invitation remains extended if anyone here is in the area and wants to go/meet up! :) I'm excited that one of these town halls is FINALLY in a place I can get to..LOL. Will try and ask a question, if I possibly can. Will have to write it down though so I don't forget! haha. Hey if anyone here has any ideas for what they'd like to have asked, I am open to suggestions/requests! Might be neat to have a question to pose (if possible) that we came up with collectively as a group...
