Yesterday's Boston Globe had a very favorable article"Democrats would benefit from wide-open race for governor" , written by Tom Keane about Dr. Don Berwick, who's running for the Democratic nomination for MA Governor. In case you aren't aware, Don Berwick is definitely from the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party", as this paragraph attests:
"Berwick makes a good case for himself. He’s a pediatrician who has become one of the world’s experts in improving health care systems and also spent 17 months running Medicare and Medicaid for the Obama administration (it was there that he earned Glenn Beck’s ire). But Berwick pitches himself as less about health care than about problem solving. His is an activist vision of government, one that tackles huge, seemingly intractable issues. He is not for the faint of heart; why not finally end poverty, he wonders."
Don Berwick, like Elizabeth Warren, was appointed by President Obama in 2009 only to be filibustered by Senate Republicans. Like Senator Warren, he has returned to the state to run for political office. And once again, the obstructionism of Senate Republicans can be Massachusetts' gain.
Read the whole article: it's short, and finishes with Keane's impression when Dr. Berwick finishes speaking:
"The room is abuzz after he concludes his remarks. On such small events are winning campaigns built."
