2. And in 10 years, some morons will write about how we are not sure Obama is an US citizen.

Sorry, given that he has been reelected by nearly 70 % of the vote in 2008 and has been the most popular MA pol for a while now (or one of the most popular and more popular than Brown), I think the comment is absolutely stupid.

Note: not sure for Patrick Doyle, but Boston Magazine is not a left leaning magazine (They LOVE Brown). The fact that a political editor follows pols in MA is not exactly surprising, particularly on an election year.

Good for Ayanna to make the list, though.

Note: The fact that Carmen Ortiz is n 3 in the list should tell us a lot. Yes, she oversaw the conviction of a couple of corrupted MA Democratic pol, but does that make her more powerful than the state governor? I have nothing against her and I am sure she is great (She is rumored to have political ambitions in the state), but it seems that her only reason to be in the list is that she has the power to send Dems to jail. This gives me a great idea of where the author stands.
