Comment on: Really, why shouldn't sellers wait for higher prices?

Comment on: - Opinion - The Boston Globe
What box does Scott Brown think she checked when she applied for those academic positions? To begin with, those universities probably invited her to apply by submitting nothing more than a cv. At mo more »

I'm sure Somerville would love to have them--just a stone's throw from Cambridge. more »

Comment on: Who Seems More Like A Senator? - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Brown is an empty suit who does what is politically expedient. Romney light! more »

Comment on: Working mothers outdo fathers as multitaskers - Lifestyle - The Boston Globe
This is a surprise? I've been telling my women's studies students this for 15 years. more »

Coakley makes a reasonable proposal that will help the middle class, but not the rich who do not need help, and Brown and his lackeys can do nothing but carp, insult and criticize. If we were not cont more »

Comment on: Coakley%26%2339%3Bs%20act
It's impossible to take the Globe seriously. First the bizarre endorsement of Khazei and now this insulting cartoon, which fails to examine Coakley's true position on the Patriot Act. You should be as more »

Comment on: 'For Democrats - Alan Khazei for Senate'
This sounds just like the Globe's endorsement of Obama, who also had potential and "HOPE." And where are we now? The fact is that Khazei is running for the most junior seat in the Senate--the kinds of more »

Comment on: Coakley%20picks%20up%20endorsements%20from%20Capuano%26%2339%3Bs%20hometown%20
If it's true that Somerville has the most corrupt politicians in the state then Capuano should be included in that category. As for the allegation that Coakley is unexciting, while I don't believe tha more »

Comment on: 'Coakley holds strong lead in Senate primary race poll'
I would like to remind the Fells Acres folks that Martha was not the prosecutor in this case. The sexism of the article and most of the comments is mind-boggling. When are you folks going to get past more »

Comment on: 'A charisma shortage'
So it's charisma you want? Deval Patrick. Barack Obama. How about another column titled "A results shortage." I know Martha Coakley and find her to be engaging, dedicated, thoughtful and honest--and v more »

Comment on: 'Khazei generates some celebrity buzz'
The names of Coakley's dogs are a non-issue. It's amazing what the press will come up with to slam a female candidate. Have a sense of humor Potlemac--and I'm sure you never intended to vote for her a more »

Comment on: 'Caution, ambition mingle in Mass. attorney general’
Was Coakley cautious when she announced she was running for the Senate without waiting to hear if one of the Kennedy's would run--while all the others waited in the wings? Was she cautions when she wa more »

Comment on: In%20shift%2C%20Capuano%20says%20he%20might%20vote%20against%20health%20bill
I guess with all the egg on his face Capuano will be eating a lot of manna omelettes. It's okay for a politician to change her/his mind after careful thought but in one day? I guess he heard from the more »

Comment on: 'Coakley won’
Has anyone read the Stupak amendment? It contains language that would prevent millions of Americans from buying insurance that covers abortions â even if they use their own money. Check the NY Times more »

Comment on: 'Debate gives Mass. Senate contenders prime-time exposure'
Isn't there supposed to be a difference between news and opinion?--that's what I learned when I took journalism 101. But this story, which purports to be news, is actually an opinion piece and should more »

Comment on: 'Coakley had tough time in case before Supreme Court'
Steve310 - Martha has given the voters a list of her accomplishments--go to her web site and you will find them. Further, the headline to the article is misleading, since if you read the text it turns more »

Comment on: 'In kickoff event, Coakley makes goals clear'
jaspratt: I was at that rally and I can assure you there were plenty of men there--both paid attendees and volunteers. Indeed, most of the volunteers were men. more »

Comment on: 'Capuano attacks front-runner Coakley in Senate race'
Who is Capuano to define what is a liberal? Is he the liberal police? The fact is that Coakley is anti-death penalty and pro-choice. When Capuano says in his commercials that he's the only one in the more »

Comment on: Kennedy%26%2339%3Bs%20widow%20pushes%20Kirk%20as%20interim%20senator
Who really cares whom Victoria Reggie Kennedy wants? Is it worth a headline on the Globe? It's time for the media in this state to stop asking "how high?" everytime a Kennedy says "jump!" more »

Comment on: 'Backroom politics and Kennedy's seat'
As much as I mourned Ted's passing, the arrogance of the Kennedy family is truly tiresome. They really should give it a rest. As all historians are aware, the quality of mind diminishes with each gene more »
Good point--the market is much sofer in those communities because buyers want the convenience of an easy commute to downtown Boston.
