However, when the PRO-PATRICK PAPER needs to PUSH the AGENDA we are ALL of a sudden useful props?
"Western Massachusetts, with about 13 percent of the state’s population, is rarely pivotal in statewide elections. But it could help Patrick in a close race."
DREAM ON, Globe!

"Governor finds support, solace in Western Mass." by Matt Viser, Globe Staff | August 17, 2009
PITTSFIELD - Governor Deval Patrick often takes sojourns to his country home in Richmond during the summer months, and next month he plans to recover there after having hip surgery. He has held staff retreats there, entertained other politicians, and invited the entire state Legislature for a summer barbecue last year.
Yeah, where they all feasted on lobster, etc.
So Patrick simply showing up... seems to endear him to locals.
Oh man, DO THEY EVER THINK YOU are STOO-PID out there in Bahstahn!!!! I feel SORRY for the S*** the Globve shovels you, Bahstahn!
And STOP with the INSULTS, Globe, will ya?
The area has long felt ignored by Beacon Hill; it has, arguably, as many cultural connections to New York than Massachusetts.
OR VERMONT and NEW HAMPSHIRE as the case may be.
I want to succeed and become our own county statelet, but.... hasn't gotten any traction yet out here.
Even out here, though, there are indications of challenges ahead.
Carol Grossmann was an enthusiastic supporter of Patrick’s 2006 campaign, but she’s grown angry, mostly about budget cuts to social services. “He’s disappointing,’’ said the 59-year-old home heath aide from Conway. “I would never vote Republican. But I just don’t know what will happen.’’

The Globe find the ONLY JEW in CONWAY, did they? Sigh!
Western Massachusetts, with about 13 percent of the state’s population, is rarely pivotal in statewide elections. But it could help Patrick in a close race.
The SELF-DELUSION of the PAPER sure is a SIGHT, isn't it?
Patrick did well in Western Massachusetts in the 2006 election, winning all but four communities. He got 80 percent of the vote in North Adams, 76 percent in Pittsfield, 80 percent in Great Barrington, and 84 percent in Amherst (his most lopsided victory in the state).
That was then; this is now, and people see through this guy now.
According to the Globe poll, conducted in July, 53 percent of respondents in Western Massachusetts expressed a favorable opinion of Patrick, compared with 36 percent statewide. It was the only region where more people said they approved than disapproved of his job performance, though by a slim margin. More than any other potential gubernatorial candidate next year, it is Patrick whom residents here trust most to handle taxes, the budget, and health care.
Like I said, I'm sick of the Globe and its lies.
You are getting the STRAIGHT SKINNY right here because I AM WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS!!!
Dare I say I'm YOUR ON-THE-GROUND REPORTER, readers?
No, because that would CHEAPEN ME!!!!!!
In Western Massachusetts, said state Representative Daniel Bosley, a North Adams Democrat who has clashed with Patrick on some issues, “there’s not as much vitriol in the press. And there’s no talk shows. . . .’’
Unreal!

No comment.
The governor drew standing ovations nearly everywhere he went. A rift with Senate President Therese Murray was never raised. No one asked about his administration’s ouster of Daniel A. Grabauskas as MBTA general manager. Even the recent increase in the state sales tax - an issue that has dogged him elsewhere - was barely mentioned.Then I will: Massachusetts Citizens Love Taxes

The ouster, which cost the state $327,000 in buyout money....
Yeah, it COST the STATE, not the TAXPAYER, huh?
That TELLS YOU HOW the GLOBE THINKS and WHERE ITS ALLEGIANCES LIE!
All because this guverner we LUUUVVV is SO POPLAR!!!! PFFFFFTTTT!
E-mails obtained by the Globe show that the early public fighting between Aloisi and Grabauskas, which began with a salvo from Aloisi, was in some regards a coordinated event....
Yeah, with the PATRICK PEOPLE CREATING the VERY PROBLEM that lead to the BUYOUT THEY CRITICIZED for a JOB that was DISAPPEARING in 6 weeks!!!!
Yes, THIS is your DEMOCRAP GOVERNMENT at world here in "liberal" Massachushitts!

It is an area that, according to a recent Globe poll, sees him far more positively than voters elsewhere. Many here say that’s partly because the political sensibilities in this part of the state suit Patrick: earnest, policy-minded, less concerned about personality-driven spats or media-fueled controversy.
You mean, LIKE WHAT the GLOBE COVERS? Look at them unzipping our flies now that Patrick and their agenda promoting needs us!
I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN the DISRESPECT of that plagiarist Mike Barnicle (on MSNBC now, of course. College told me plagiarism was the worst thing I could do. WTF?), nor I have I forgiven the VAST ARRAY of INSULTS LATELY, Globe, so GO BLOW!!!!!!!!
With Patrick suffering at times in the hothouse of Boston politics and estranged from some leaders in his own party, he is finding a much more receptive audience out west.
That's right, Globe. Stick your head in the sand. Do you really believe your lies, or....?
For an urbane governor who has lived in the Boston area for much of his life, it is notable that one of his most reliable reservoirs of support lies in the rural, less populated stretches well beyond Beacon Hill.
I might be puking up that Whole Foods lunch.
Even though she’s angry at his decisions, Cowell spoke approvingly about the governor and his intentions, a distinction that encapsulates a more forgiving attitude toward Patrick in the western reaches of a state he governs from Boston.
