“I’m led to think at this particular moment of the soliloquy of Marc Antony,” Anthony Verga said near the end of a debate last Tuesday. Up against a pair of challengers on his path toward an eighth term in the House, Verga felt that they and their partisans in the Gloucester Stage Company Theater were looking to do away with him and his record. “I kind of feel like Julius Caesar,” he said, referring presumably to Caesar’s fall on the steps of the capitol and not his conquest of the Mediterranean. “You want to take my bones and bury them, and any good that I did with those bones,” the chairman went on. He said, “To think that I’m going to sit here and not blow my own horn — and listen to all the applause for the others and not feel that I’d been hurt by it — is wrong.” There are not a lot of hurt feelings among the 182 incumbent lawmakers running for re-election, because so few of them faced challengers — just 20 primary races this week. And thus there was very little suspense on the Hill last week, with only a handful of reps and one senator concerned about primary challenges. But, because the electorate can at times develop a mood that is in spirit if not in deed similar to the more brutish members of the Roman Senate against their leader, it is important to know what else on the ballot could suffer if a Big Dig-budget deficit-Marzilli-bodybuilding firefighter-property tax storm develops on an anti-Hill front. And that’s why it m ...

Normal 0 Between Gov. Deval Patrick’s speech last week, upbeat and quietly received in Denver, and former Gov. Mitt Romney’s on Wednesday, tart and raucously received in St. Paul, the word “Massachusetts” was uttered two times. Both came in Patrick’s speech, one at the very top with a shout-out to the delegates, and the other in reference to his move here in the 1970s. One more reminder of just how vigorously unpopular a topic we are in a national election. It was a curious illustration to the rest of the country, for those who were interested, of how the same state can pick two such wildly different politicians as its leaders just four years apart. It was also, for Massachusetts, a look at decisions that won’t matter in the Bay State, with its 12 already-postmarked electoral votes, but are very much in flux elsewhere. In their own ways, both Romney and Patrick offered fair embodiments of the two conventions. Sen. John McCain gave the Republican answer to Sen. Barack Obama Thursday, setting up the 60-day stretch between now and Nov. 4 as largely a question of character, a referendum on Obama’s promise and McCain’s service. Much of the chatter this week keyed on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin – whose pulchritudinous librarian look had the shallowest political watchers brushing up on their Dewey Decimal System and hunting for overdue library books – and first her family, then her blockbuster speech. Romney, snubbed this year, is very much a fav ...

A test of a new Statehouse garage security system left a state Bureau of Protective Services worker slightly injured and damaged her van when a traffic barricade triggered as she drove across. Spokesmen for the state's Department of Public Safety and Budget and Control board on Friday confirmed the Aug. 23 incident. The $6 million system is designed to keep the public out of the Statehouse garage and control garage-level access to Capitol Complex buildings. Board spokesman Mike Sponhour said a wedge that limits unauthorized traffic wasn't set properly and struck the van, causing about $1,500 in damage. The worker missed a couple of days of work. Sponhour says contractors have fixed that problem. ...
