SOMETHING’S AFOOT IN THE BERKSHIRES. COULD IT BE POLITICAL MAGIC? JILL STEIN THINKS SO. MEANWHILE, SPERANZO’S “S.S. COWARDLY” TAKES ON MORE WATER.

JILL STEIN: Running for Governor and out to ‘reclaim democracy’

THE PLANET had a private meeting with gubernatorial candidate Jill Stein (Green-Rainbow) at a hidden location cleverly designed as an exact replica of The Tavern at the Red Lion Inn. Stein was campaigning through Berkshire County today with 3rd Berkshire District candidate Mark Miller and 4th Berkshire hopeful Scott Laugenour. We met Stein and Langenour over coffee and tea … and me.

For the record, The Planet picked up the tab.

Stein canceled other campaign events in the state to be in Pittsfield and South County. She will be back tomorrow and Monday. We don’t need to draw anyone with functioning brain cells a map, do we? She’s here because she smells blood in the water, and Green-Rainbow is pouring much of what it has left into the 3rd and 4th district campaigns. Being around this political push, one senses a distinct rush, a combination of urgency and the smell of a win.
