However, they were hardly beating up on me. After all, no one called me a liar, cheat, or scoundrel. In any event, you certainly should <i>not</i> be defending me when you disagree with me. I posted a rely on that thread to "defend" myself. Not much of a "defense" really, but then again, I really did not say that much worth defending. Weldon, thanks for the heads-up.

Keifus, I'd forgotten about his run for governor. I know there were some things I didn't like about his positions at the time, but I've now forgotten what they were. Everyone looks so good ten years on. I'm liking the blog a lot. P_Too, you're getting beat up on the Hitchens thread. I'd defend you, but I'm afraid they'll turn on me. Hi, guys.

Like you, he has some interesting ideas. In any event, it beats working. Thanks for turning me on to his blog. Like you, he has some interesting ideas. In any event, it beats working.

He never made it out of the primary, evidently for the facts that (a) he wasn't strongly supported by teh Dem party, (b) he openly supported gay marriage, (c) there was some goofily obvious smear rumour circulating (lied about something when in the Clinton--booga booga!--administration; don't remember the details), and (d)he sort of looks like a midget version of that <a href="http://swedish.imdb.com/name/nm0040472/bio" rel="nofollow">pencil-necked EPA prick</a> from <i>Ghostbusters</i>. I'd just moved up here, and even if I'd registered Democrat, I still couldn't have voted in teh primary, but I liked the guy. What I remember most clearly about him is that unlike the other candidates, he had ideas, some of them half-baked, and some of them unworkable, but man, he had <i>ideas</i> and he was dying to discuss them seriously. (One of them was mandated health insurance, that has now in fact been adopted by the state.) The more I think about it, the sadder I am he lost. Even more, I'm sad that he failed to really open up the debate, despite his efforts. Keifus Reich ran for the governership of Massachusetts in the 2002 election.
