Bay State liberals shun Barack Obamas visit
President Obama blows into the bluest state today facing a cold shoulder from once true-blue admirers, as gay rights activists, anti-war protesters and vexed environmentalists vow to picket a fund-raiser hes headlining for Gov. Deval Patrick - a marquee event that hasnt even sold out.
As of last night, liberals who once braved frigid temperatures to behold Obama were shunning tickets to the fund-raiser at the posh Westin Copley Place featuring the president, sources told the Herald. And despite campaign denials, Patrick operatives reportedly were pushing the ducats - between $500 and $6,000 - by e-mail up to the last minute.
Hes reaching the point in his presidency where not only has the honeymoon ended, but the fighting has begun, said Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia presidential scholar.
