George, we're probably boring the folks from the other 49 states, but it was
most definitely Michael Dukakis who killed the dems in Mass.  Remember the
Duke's completely phony 'Massachusetts Miracle', which he used to pave his way
into the Presidential race?  (And who can forget his stoic face peering our from
under a helmet as he took a ride in a tank for a publicity photo that also
backfired).  As soon as he left the governorship to run for pres the whole thing
collapsed.  There was no miracle, only a nightmare, and he knew it he'd put
something like 23,000 people on the state payroll to get the unemployment down. 
It took Weld and company (and an actually great economy) to get us back on
track).  So, you can thank Silber for growing Boston U. (if you care) and you
can blame Dukakis for Weld, who you can thank for the current state of Mass.

Sorry, everyone.
