"Saturday, April 27th, a group of five people bearing 'I LIKE MIKE' signs stood outside Ed Markey's district office in Medford Square and waved and smiled. While traffic was thin, of course, given the time of day on the weekend, this observer thinks that a significant number of thumbs up, waves and cheery honks from Forest Street, High Street and Salem Street were indicative of a strong consternation that is likely to be felt more and more in the Markey office as the Special Election draws nearer!"

Re-energized Republicans gird for Senate Primary
With only weeks to go until the April 30th primary, Michael Sullivan, Dan Winslow and Gabriel Gomez are gearing up their final efforts to capture the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. All are seeking to expand their ranks with supporters willing to assist in reaching out to voters and energizing public support for a Republican victory.
Some say Republicans are demoralized. NO WAY ! We just won a special election in Peabody for the open seat after a spirited Republican primary ! Demoralized parties don't have primaries and they don't win ! Can we have another US Senate win ??? Absolutely !!! But it will take work. So stand out with a sign, take some literature and walk your neighborhood or make some phone calls.
Call your favorite campaign and get involved in some way. We can win this seat. Don't pass on this opportunity to make history again.

Republicans celebrate St. Patrick's Day with own breakfast
Call it Southie, or something like that, but who says Democrats are the only ones to have fun on St. Patrick's Day?
"How many people we got here, a couple hundred, white Republicans and we have one Latino guy from Columbia, so we are doing pretty good, we are expanding our roles here, we are very diverse," joked Republican State Senator Bob Hedlund, who was emceeing the state party's St. Paddy's Day Breakfast in Scituate.
This year is the fourth year in a row for what you might call the alternative breakfast, never mind that bloated roast in South Boston.
"We Republicans are also celebrating St. Paddy's Day, and this is the Irish Rivera, here in Scituate, so why not," laughed organizer Janet Fogarty Kelly. Why not is right. So we will need some jokes. Let's start with Gabriel Gomez, the former Navy Seal of Columbian heritage who is hoping to become a U.S. Senator. "Now I think we need to get super tough on border security...but let me tell you why, " said Gomez, "because I am already here," he joked.
Michael Sullivan, who has always been here, is a funny man too. He got into the race late, had to get those signatures to be on the ballot in a real hurry. "In fact Holly Robichaud sent me a bill for $300,000, and I said what's this for, she said $10 a vote, that's the going rate, that's what the other guys are paying," said Republican Candidate for U. S. Senate, Michael Sullivan, a former U. S. Attorney.
"A lot of people in this room helped get me on the ballot so I am indebted and grateful for that effort, and I mean this is really the energy of the party, it is really the base," said Sullivan.
Gomez is confident this WAS the breakfast. "You know you gotta ask Democrats why they didn't invite us, I think it is because maybe they thought we were gonna go there and show them up," said Gomez. "I am happy to come by and say a few words, see a lot of old friends and make new ones," Sullivan said.
One candidate for that John Kerry Senate seat, didn't make the trip this year, state rep. and former judge Dan Winslow, who decided to crash the South Boston Breakfast instead.
