Elon Musk's Solar City just blew out of the DOE Loan program because they cooked the books and bought influence just like Tesla. Steve Spinner, Matt Rogers and Lachlan Seward at DOE manipulated the process to ignore Tesla's fake financials because Tesla bought their loan from the White House, the investigations will prove this and Tesla will be history.

The recent spat of attacks on Elizabeth Warren, particularly that video about class warfare have attracted a lot of direct attacks from the right. Is this the kind of attacks that will only hurt Scott Brown that you have spoken about before and why is the national right-wing machine insistent on running that kind of attack thinking we're a swing state or do they really confuse us with Alabama?

Interesting - thanks for answering... even if it's not what I hoped to hear.

I think you're right that it is hard to predict who will manage to turn out the vote best, and that these races (like at-large) could go in any number of directions.

I'm holding out strong hope in D2 for Suzanne, only because I know she's been working hard hitting doors and IDing voters in every neighborhood. If she, the Chinese Progressives, MWPC, young dems, and others are able to turn those IDs out, she could squeak through the preliminary.

The other aspect I don't understand as well about the race is how much work Ferrara has been doing on the ground, and whether he's more likely to pull votes away from Linehan or Lee. Actually, that should have been my ask anything question...

Baker has some pretty great Dorcehster organizers on his side, and is certainly leading the lawn sign race in my neighborhood, so it will be interesting to see how his numbers compare with Galvin come Tuesday.

Steve Grossman would be pretty formidable, IMO.

Will Ayanna move back to Chicago or Washington, DC to work for her old boss - "Live Shot" Kerry?

My vote is Anthony Petruccelli. A rising star from a big time district.

Do who you expect to make it through the D2 and D3 -- and heck, D7 -- preliminary elections next Tuesday?

Is Dan Winslow going to go for AG in 2014? If Brown loses do you see him running for governor in 2014? Is there any truth to the rumor Eric Fehrnstrom sacrifices a puppy before every Romney debate?

So many questions, too few Fridays.

Does Charlie Baker really want another crack at the corner office in 2014? Or is some other republican out in the weeds thinking about the Governor's race?

Wow - it must stink to have such little respect as a Boston media guy to have to ask another Boston media guy to ask someone a question.

what did you have to say (on BNN) last night about the city election in Boston this year?

Who do you think will be the Democratic Nominee for Governor in 2014?

Eventhough the Senate President announeced she was keepng her firm grip on the Senate Presidency for a few years, things always change. The body has had great turnover in the last 6 years. Who do you see emerging as candidates as the next Senate President
