There’s a very valuable piece by Jason Pramas at OpenMedia Boston advising that “If Progressives Don’t Want More Scott Browns, Then They Have to Organize the Suburbs”.

Jason points out that

“The strength of the right in the Commonwealth is submerged in the 50 percent of voters here that are registered as `unenrolled.’ And there’s an interesting thing about these Massachusetts right-wingers – a lot of them are in the suburbs.”

He nearly delineates the reasons why progressives are sometimes loathe to make much of suburbanites’ issues and problems, but concludes that “that the answer to the problem of rising conservatism in the suburbs is not to ignore it. It is to engage it.”

There’s also a plug for the GRP towards the end.

It’s worthwhile reading, as is all his material.
