I half jokingly referred to our discussion of Massachusetts politics in the first hour of the program last night as the Kubler-Ross edition of the show. The Kubler-Ross model, commonly known as the five stages of grief, include denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. That’s what it felt like for me this week.

DR Tucker has long been one of my favorite writers and bloggers on local politics. He’s a very thoughtful, reasoned man who also happens to be an exceptional writer. You can read him at Red Mass Group and Deval Patrick Watch.

DR has joined us many times over the years and it was a great pleasure to welcome him back to WRKO once again. I wanted to talk to DR because of his post-election writing, it was unique in its optimism for the future of the Republican Party in Massachusetts.
