I hope everyone -- Democrats, Republicans and independents -- had an enjoyable, relaxing summer! I certainly did. Whether it was enjoying fried clams and watching my distant relatives, the seals, on Cape Cod, or just chasing squirrels on the North Cambridge bike path, the summer was sweet, as always.
Now it's back to the campaign trail for the fall, and the Senate race in my home state of Massachusetts heated up like a mug of apple cider last Thursday, as Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren exchanged views in the first of four campaign debates.
From a canine perspective, I would say that this debate revealed two distinct campaign personalities: the Dog Walker (Brown) versus the Dog Whisperer (Warren).
