I will be sitting in for Dan Rea on Nightside this evening on WBZ radio in Boston from 8 to 10 PM. Among the issues up for consideration...

The controversy between the Cahill and Baker campaigns continues, with e-mails that might show unlawful cooperation between the Cahill campaign and state lottery officials regarding an advertising campaign. If you are a voter in Massachusetts, does this make you more or less like to vote for Cahill, Baker, or the incumbent Governor Deval Patrick? Polling data would seem to indicate that the controversy is helping Patrick extend his lead.

Is Congressman Barney Frank to blame for the meltdown of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Should the government impose a moratorium on foreclosures? Could the lack of a proper paper trail for so many foreclosures cause a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis?

Will Massachusetts become a more Republican state after all the votes are counted?

Could the GOP really win more than 60 House seats across the nation?

George Will sees a historic shift in the making in this election.

David Brooks writes about the paralysis of the state. Is American government, at all levels, no longer capable of doing big things?

If you are an independent voter, how will you vote next month? It appears as if the middle-of-the-road voter is growing increasingly frustrated with both major parties.
