The Globe reports from Patrick's Town Hall meeting yesterday:

Barney Keller, the spokesman for the state Republican Party, trained a video camera on Patrick the entire time, hoping to capture an embarrassing YouTube moment.

This kind of thing just makes the Massachusetts GOP look desperate and out of ideas. If the best they can do is hope to catch our Governor in a gaffe maybe they should just hang up their spurs as the opposition. Our Republican party does occasionally have a sound policy suggestion, and our pals at Red Mass Group know a thing or two from time to time (although I disagree with their recent complaint about higher cigarette prices), but trolling public meetings for YouTube moments rather than, as challenged below, presenting substantive issues of policy disagreement? Tragic.

Maybe he's looking for material for McCain's campaign, since Patrick is an Obama campaign co-chair.

1. The Mass GOP is pathetic -

The harder they try to look credible, the more stupid they become.

That quack with the camera was probably trolling for under-age kids to add to his collection................

2. it's pretty indicative of what all politics have become

it's all about the "gotcha" that can be got in the sound byte.

3. We do the same thing

I'm not happy with it but it's today's media politics.
