Politics as unusual

(From Equal Time for Pogo (c) 1968 by Walt Kelly)

We're in the midst of an historic gubernatorial race in my home state of Massachusetts. On November 7th either the first African American (Democrat Deval Patrick), first woman (Republican Kerry Healy), first woman and Green Party candidate (Grace Ross) or first Independent -- who may also have the first campaign ad requiring a parental advisory -- (Christy Mihos) will be elected governor of this Commonwealth. I seems only fitting to post the most insightful political commentary available on this exciting and complex race for the Massachusetts State House.

To that end, I offer the following from Pogo and the other savvy pundits, pollsters, predators and prey who inhabit the late Walt Kelly's Okefenokee Swamp.
