Dear Ms. Lopez:
I, too, live in Brookline, Massachusetts, one block from former Governor Dukakis (a fine a man personally as I know even if I disagree with his politics). I am in the neighborhood described by your emailer. This is left-wing homeworld. Yes, there are Brown signs in Brookline amazingly and very little for Coakley. This neighborhood was awash with Khazei signs only a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I was amazed in Boston’s North End to see Brown signs displayed prominently along the main Hanover Street, including in the windows of some of the streets most prominent eateries. I know he was there campaigning on Friday yet those signs are new to my lengthy visits to the North End.
This is still Democratic land, yet after what I saw there a Brown victory has moved in my mind from not quite likely to quite possible. I am more than hopeful. I think a victory tomorrow night will electrify the U.S. like nothing else. Let’s be hopeful.
