i am off to Boston, MA tomorrow morning, so I wouldn’t expect much blogging over the next couple days. I may post a few updates on my personal Twitter account or The Buffalo Bean’s Twitter account.

UPDATE: The Boston Globe has published a list of 64 of the best websites on Boston life “that you should know.” Four blogs made the list for political sites… including my own Hub Politics, which I run with my brother (though my role has changed a bit since I moved to Western New York)

An ideological cousin is hubpolitics.com, run snarkily by Beverly-bred brothers Matt and Aaron Margolis (Matt’s now in western New York). Both keep a sharp eye on the state’s political and moral fiber, such as when Aaron backed the Beverly Farms girls who poked fun at Gloucester’s spike in pregnancies, and they both stayed on top of the Jim Marzilli mess.

I know I said I wouldn’t be blogging while I was visiting Boston, but I thought I would check in anyway since I can blog on my iPhone with a nifty WordPress application.

Anyway, one nice thing about Boston is that Starbucks is test marketing their new Clover-crafted small batch coffee here. That is one good cup of coffee. I recommend the Kenya Gichatha-Ini beans.

I spent the early part of my evening hanging out at the headquarters of the Massachusetts Republican Party with Rob Willington, the executive director of the MassGOP.

We had an interesting chat about the Republican Party and the new media. Before I left, Rob interviewed me on the subject… which you can hear posted on drop.io.

Well, it has been a long day — walking around the city — it is time to hit the sack.

UPDATE: Here’s a direct link to the audio of the interview.

As you may be aware, Chris Lee and Alice Kryzan will be debating tonight.

I had an opportunity to attend, but I had previously made arrangements to make my first return visit to Boston, MA since I moved to Western New York in March of this year. So, I will unfortunately miss the debate.

I hope to acquire audio of the debate this weekend and offer my thoughts on it when I return.

In the meantime, I would like to take a moment to direct your attention to a new user blog here at The Buffalo Bean called GOP Steam. While I’m gone this weekend you can check out GOP Steam for some fresh content.

UPDATE, 11:05 PM: I have arrived in Boston, and made it back to my brother’s condo where I will be staying during my visit. I have received multiple emails telling me that Chris Lee clobbered Kryzan in the debate. With no access to a laptop I can’t provide any links to audio or anything as I am limited by the capabilities of my iPhone, but I hope to listen to the debate soon after my return Sunday night. But, nevertheless it is good to hear that Chris Lee beat Kryzan in the debate.
