Good points. All politics is local

• favorited 3y ago
  Random aside, but "all politics is local" was popularized by Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, the longest continuous Speaker in House history (5 terms, no interruptions!). GBH is 1/2 way through a podcast about Boston's Big Dig, which started while Tip was Speaker, and resulted in an enormous tunnel named after the man who shepherded its funding through Congress. It's a great listen, and, so far, is abundant evidence that all politics is, indeed, local. Thanks for the tip, Tip! https://www.wgbh.org/podcasts/the-big-dig https://www.wgbh.org/podcasts/the-big-dig
