Who Won the Presidential Debate? Patch Live Chat Recap
Local Democrats and Republicans across Massachusetts discussed Wednesday night's debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney in a live chat on Patch.
In the first presidential debate in Denver, Colorado, President Barack Obama came out flat while Gov. Mitt Romney had some effective arguments, according to local Democrats and Republicans from across Massachusetts who joined in a Patch live chat during the debate on Tuesday night. "Overall, tie goes to Obama," said Democrat Alex Buck. "Romney had a couple good lines, but nothing hugely productive. He looked jittery and possibly his most memorable line was about Big Bird." Reader Tom Sheff added late in the debate, "No defining moment so far, that's for sure." As the debate opened on the economy, Romney took an early upper hand according to the Democrats and Republicans who joined the chat as panelists. "President seemed nervous, and …

Governor Says He Will 'Probably' Vote Against Marijuana Ballot Question
The governor, during a live chat on Tewksbury Patch, expressed skepticism about the legalization of medical marijuana, though he sympathized with patients in pain.
Gov. Deval Patrick said he would likely vote no on Question Three this fall. During a Thursday live chat with Patch, a reader asked Patrick how he would vote on the ballot question and whether the governor was for or against the legalization of cannabis. "I am not too energized on this issue, personally. California's experience has been mixed. I will probably vote against it. I respect the opposing view, though, especially those whose concern is for people in constant pain," wrote the governor in response. Proponents say medical marijuana will help ease the pain and suffering of cancer patients and other eligible residents. Opponents, meanwhile, say the law is a back door to full legalization, and that medical marijuana can be dangerous…

Good questions although only one pertained to subject. Would have liked to hear more on why Patrick opposes medical marijuana use...primarily oppositions appear to be because of the natural remedy that in properly controlled aquisition and uses could benefit many, while keeping those who suffer from the adverse side-effects of what are now traditional, man-made remedies that consistently make the… more ›

I'd like to ask him exactly how it is that he got a second term in office. I'd also like to ask him about his secretive alliance w/Willy Lantigua, Mayo of Lawrence, and why it is he gave Willy $30-million of every taxpayer's money in Massachuestts, and why it is that he and Willy conspired to sneak "service vehicles" out of the country and land them in none other than The Dominican Republic. I'd … more ›

I think all the analysis reporting is just a way of stretching out a 30 second news story "Mitt Romney won last night's debate" into something longer. It's pretty tough filling out a whole cable channel with news 24/7 without getting into the useless minutia (I know I spelled that wrong - sorry). more ›
