Mayor Setti Warren of Newton, MA, and candidate for Democratic nominee for MA-SEN 2012 was recently a guest ABC News online program “Top Line.” Watch it here (h/t to Glen Johnson at the Boston Globe): Warren is smart, saavy, and experienced on the issues that matter here in Massachusetts and the nation. I honestly feel that Setti Warren has what it takes to beat Scott Brown. Raising money to compete with Brown’s 8 million dollar war chest could be...

They like to preach that “tough choices” and sacrifice are necessary. Apparently, though, conservatives don’t much like practicing what they preach.
