Subject: We need a symbol…
K-Lo–
Just reading all these spot reports out of Massachusetts about the Commonwealth’s brave experiment in democracy, and I couldn’t help but think the Brown supporters need to do SOMETHING to identify themselves and their quiet (okay, rambunctious) revolution. I mean, many of these people feel like they’ve never voted in a competitive election in their adult lives. I’m thinking it’s time to dip some fingers in purple ink and wave them for the cameras at victory parties throughout the Bay State tonight.
Of course, if it’s Boston Globe cameras, I never specified which finger.
