SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. — The man who lives in the white house made an announcement the other day that might stand as a turning point in American politics.

That may sound overdramatic, given that the white house in question belongs to the governor of Massachusetts, even though his home — right across from town hall and a few hundred feet from King's Beach in this small shore town -- possesses a protuberance that bears a slight resemblance to the Truman Balcony on Washington's White House.
