Bloggers booted from cable debate

Blue Mass. Groupistas ejected from studio moments before Fifth District congressional debate at the request of the Ogonowski campaign. They're Demmies, he's a GOPer.

Adam Reilly: My quick take is that this makes Ogonowski look bad and NECN look worse:

But maybe there were extenuating circumstances I'm not aware of. ...

Everybody's favorite Democrat In Name Only congressman finally managed to get his campaign Web site up, a full three days before the election:

Now I will confess that while I am a friend of Al Gore, I did not help him invent the internet, so a little patience with me from time to time may be required. We are still working on pieces of the site and will add additional information as it develops.

Dear Rep. Lynch:

As one of your constituents, I am amazed that, in 2006, your campaign can't figure out how to put up a Web site. It's not rocket science. Go get some high school kid to help you.

Hey, John! is a blog aimed at convincing John Kerry to give up some of the millions in campaign funds he's sitting on so Democrats can win this year.

Via W. A. Hurd, who notes that Rep. Marty Meehan, facing no competition this year, is also sitting on a large wad of cash.

Congressman Robinson, I presume?

Devone ponders:

It will be interesting to see how the Massachusetts press will spin a Jack Robinson victory if he defeats unpopular incumbent Stephen Lynch on November 7. ...

Ed. Ninth District Note: I don't particularly like Lynch - I have never voted for him - but, honestly, the chances of Robinson beating him next month are about equal to my odds of being elected Prince of Wales.
