Re: Political postings
Rifleman, are you trying to smoke out individual who-supports-whom, or just wondering how the ArchBoston community shook out on election day(s)?

Re: Political postings
I created a poll.
I believe it is set up in a way that it doesn't show who people voted for or even who voted, so people can be anonymous. |

Re: Political postings
See, nothing nefarious. He just need to know whether or not to report this place during the Time of the Purge. Nothing to worry about.

Re: Political postings
I suppose Trump supports transit and infrastructure spending, in an Hitler-built-the-Autobahns sorta way.
Though today I learned Hitler stole credit for the Autobahns. The first Autobahn was actually built by Konrad Adenauer, the Center party mayor of Cologne whom Hitler deposed, impoverished, and occasionally imprisoned and later was chancellor during the post-War. I'd definitely vote for a CDU if it rose from the ashes of the Republican party, though there's no Adenauers out there that I see.

Re: Political postings
Well, I couldn't figure out who to support (if only Bernie would wear his red beret...) so I voted against DT.
I still don't feel good about voting for someone who believes in spontaneous generation to the point that he thinks women come from kitchens. |

Re: Political postings
Alright, I'm in.
I'm running for Suffolk County registrar of deeds. The registrar of deeds leads the registry office in taking care of all deeds filed for Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. I've pulled papers and am collecting signatures. For some insane reason, you have to get 1,000 signatures in order to qualify. First thing, we have to fix that. The office is considered a plumb "hack" job - Mickey Roache held it most-recently until he quit in December. Ex-Boston city councilors Stephen Murphy and Charles Yancey are rumored to be running, as are five "newbies", all from the southern neighborhoods of Boston. I'm the only "Boston Proper" candidate and, from what I can tell, the only real estate broker. Meaning, perhaps the only candidate who has actually been in the registry more than once in their lives. (You go there when you buy or sell your condo / home.) I just pulled papers so my website, etc., are just getting going. The election isn't until November 8 so there's plenty of time for voter outreach and putting together my team (I need a campaign manager and PR / social media maven, stat. Apply within.) Those of you with long memories will remember I ran for Mass state rep in 2009, coming in second to Aaron Michlewitz. I am a non-party independent candidate, so no Democratic (or, Republican) primary for me; I go straight to the general election. The 1,000 signatures are intimidating, especially since the deadline is May 3rd and I need to get them in earlier because they have to be checked for accuracy and you always have to collect a couple hundred extra because some inevitably can't be checked out. So, look for me at your local Stop & Shop tomorrow and next week. This race is different from my last one: This one, I can win. I'm best-qualified, plus the other candidates have their own issues. Name recognition is the key to success and I plan on making my name known far and wide! http://www.johnfordeeds.com |

Re: Political postings
Glad you're in the race, I like many of your goals.
First thing I would do upon getting in office is push for the creation of a bug report form. Sometimes i find a bug (e.g. wrong sales amount, link to a past deed is wrong due to inverted numbers) and e-mail them, but it seems like a semi-awkward method. |

Re: Political postings
Oh man, you had me at "digitize records.... perhaps back to colonial days."
Ever tried to construct a map of parcel ownership boundaries in colonial-era JP? Not so easy given that the ward atlas maps didn't start publishing until the 1870s... also, as custodian of the Commonwealth Archives, how could Billy Galvin not endorse a platform like that? |

Re: Political postings
Why is Leland Chung running against Pat Jehlen for State Senate in Camb-Som-Med, and what makes him think he can win?
I can't find any serious policy differences His campaign: I am ME! I am fancy/famous/JFKschool/Cambridge. she's her boring old Somerville self. Vote for me because millennial fierce urgency of now. Her campaign: Teachers unions dig tenure and so should you. I will soon start benefitting from Seniority and Democrats should only expect competition in that first fight for an open seat. Primary challenges baffle me. Any suggested basis for preferring one to the other? I like Jehlen for her transport-urbanism (and seniority in shaking the money tree for bike-Ped improvements to DCR parkways and along the Mystic and can't see a upside to switching before she retires (she has announced for re-election)

Re: Political postings
There's a twitter account or something which goes by "I'm Leland Chung .. and I'm running for this now!" or something similar. So, you're not alone in questioning.
