Yankee Tirade

What a two party system will look like. Now that Massachusetts is in the midst of game play as a result of the demise of Edward Moore Kennedy, it is time to examine what a two party political system will look like. Before I started really lambasting the Bay State about its one sided nonsense I decided to find out what it would look like to have Democratic and Republican leaders through out the state system. I found the most comparable system to be in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania. In 2006 and 2007 I spent several months around the Harrisburg area and logged in a few hours with discussions with various people in the State House. My conclusion was that if most people in Massachusetts could see this system, they would be more comfortable with the idea of allowing others to get into power. There government has become no more conservative or right wing as the result of having two parties in power, quite the opposite actually. The scariest things in life are the unknown, Massachusetts does not have that problem this time.
