It’s says something about the sad state of the Massachusetts Republican Party that an also-ran in last fall’s 5th District congressional election can be touted as a credible opponent for incumbent U.S. Sen. John Kerry.
Though he’s been in office since 1985, Kerry should be vulnerable on any number of issues. (Like taking an unofficial two-year [...]

Forget the issues - vote your gender!

Where is the outrage?
I’ve been reading, in stories and letters to the editor, that “we need a woman in Congress,” and that’s why Niki Tsongas should get your vote on Tuesday to replace Marty Meehan in the Fifth District.
And why do we need a woman? It can’t be because of a need for any real [...]
Not that it’s been all smooth sailing for Niki Tsongas.
This morning (Friday), the Democratic candidate moved quickly to distance herself from comments supporter Chet Atkins made to the Associated Press implying that Republican Jim Ogonowski’s stand on immigration was motivated by racism and would not have been supported by his brother, John, who was the [...]
The Tsongas camp may be counting the hours until Jim Ogonowski states whether he would vote to override President Bush’s veto of the SCHIP expansion bill, but many 5th District voters are no doubt counting the days — now down to four — until the campaign for Marty Meehan’s seat is over.
If she wins Tuesday, [...]
Andover state Rep. Barry Finegold describes him as “the greatest president of my generation,” and Democratic congressional candidate Niki Tsongas is hoping others in the 5th District feel the same way about former President Bill Clinton.
Republican Jim Ogonowski’s camp termed Clinton’s appearance on Tsongas’ behalf Sunday night an act of desperation by a candidate who [...]
There was this from 5th District congressional candidate Nike Tsongas’ campaign office this morning:
Early this morning Niki Tsongas learned that her beloved sister Suzanne Sauvage passed away unexpectedly in her sleep at her home in New York. Niki will be suspending her personal campaign activities until further notice. Campaign Spokesperson Katie Elbert made [...]
This just in: The Niki Tsongas campaign announced this afternoon that former President Bill Clinton will make an appearance on behalf of the 5th District congressional candidate during a Sunday, Sept. 30 rally at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
Wonder if Republican Jim Ogonowski has any plans to bring either of the George Bushes to the district.
Republican Jim Ogonowski is out with an apology — and a shot at his Democratic opponent.
Responding to Niki Tsongas’ demand that he repudiate comments made by Republican leader David Boehner regarding the “small price” Americans are paying to achieve its goals in Iraq, Ogonowski did just that Tuesday.
In a letter to the Ohio congressman, Ogonowski [...]
Give Democrat Niki Tsongas credit for not taking the 5th District race for granted, despite the fact most consider her a heavy favorite in next month’s election to succeed former congressman Marty Meehan.
The Tsongas machine has not let up with the drumbeat of publicity begun many months ago when she first announced her candidacy for [...]
So, is Niki Tsongas running for president or for Congress? Apparently her handlers have instructed her to join the presidential field, since being “on message” for her means reciting at every public gathering that the contest for the 5th Congressional District in Massachusetts has morphed into “a referendum on the presidency of George W. Bush.”
There [...]
