Enthusiasm Gap in Massachusetts 4th District? You Betcha
WBUR 90.9 fm’s Deb Becker visited rallies by both Sean Bielat and Barney Frank over the weekend. When asked about the contrasts, some obvious things stood out to Deb:
Bob Oakes: Did the stars do what they were supposed to — drive up turnout by supporters? What was it like at these campaign events. Were they different?
Deb Becker: In terms of turnout and tone, they were very different.
The largest draw was a Saturday morning rally in Foxborough where hundreds of people gathered to show support for the GOP ticket. It felt more like a concert than a political rally with Sen. Scott Brown the headliner, wearing his trademark barn jacket and trying to stoke the same anti-establishment spirit that propelled him to victory just 10 months ago. Bielat told the crowd that supporting him Tuesday is a vote for a traditional values.
Individual prosperity, individual liberty, personal responsibility, accountability — these are the things that as Americans we demand from our government and this is the year we can turn it around, change the direction we’re on, and return to those values.
How about Frank?
Much different, much quieter. Frank also campaigned with some high-profile Democrats. On Sunday, he addressed about 60 people at an apartment complex in Dartmouth where he appeared with Vicki Kennedy, the widow of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Throughout the weekend, Frank emphasized the work he’s done for the district on things like fishing regulations, health care and the financial reform bill he worked on with Brown.
When Scott Brown voted for the bill because he thought we had done a good job with a general protection and protecting Massachusetts, Sean Bielat put out a statement attacking him. It’s very unusual for one Republican to attack another but that’s how deeply committed he is to deregulation. I’ve got an opponent who wants to privatize Social Security, raise the retirement age — that’s how he wants to deal with the deficit.
Despite misrepresenting Sean’s position, Barney thinks independant thought and not simply towing the party line is bad on Sean’s part. Talk about out of touch with the electorate. Vote tomorrow and support Sean Bielat at http://www.oustbarney.com.
