"Senate hopefuls turn up volume; Candidates clash loudly on health, earmarks, Big Dig in radio debate" by Matt Viser, Globe Staff | November 13, 2009
[He] voiced support for reinstituting a military draft....
Ahem!
We want an END to the WARS not an ESCALATION into a WWIII situation -- which is what a move like this would infer!!!
Or is our military HOLLOWED OUT and we are NOT BEING TOLD? The government claims plenty of recruits.
About two hours later.... sent out a statement:
“I incorrectly interpreted the question to be asking if I would support a mandatory draft in the event we needed additional troops, and my answer was yes,’’ he said in the statement. “I now realize that was not the question posed to me, and I want to be clear that I do not support reinstating the military draft at this time.’’
What exactly do you SEE out there, Steve?
Some sort of FALSE FLAG OPERATION like 9/11?
An attack on Iran?

Two candidates also announced noteworthy endorsements yesterday from well-known politicians, an indication that the field is starting to gain national attention with less than four weeks to go before Massachusetts voters head to the polls. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York, a Medford native, is endorsing City Year cofounder Alan Khazei. Bloomberg, who had already maxed out on personal donations to Khazei, plans to host a fund-raiser next Thursday at his private residence in Manhattan.
So he's a no of he makes it through the primary.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is set to endorse US Representative Michael E. Capuano, a coup for any challenger to Attorney General Martha Coakley, who is seeking to become the first female US senator from Massachusetts.
Apparently, CHAMBER is THICKER than GENDER, ladies!!
Pelosi, the first woman to serve as speaker of the House, will announce her support for Capuano at a downtown hotel today....
No surprise that Pelosi would like him:
Slow Saturday Special: Capuano the Crook
He's the INSIDER, huh?
He's a no as well.
--more--"
Update: "Even with Coakley’s amended disclosure, her assets are still far less valuable than her opponents"
It looks like SHE is the BEST WE CAN DO AROUND HERE!!!
