Man, he's one of my favorite perennial candidates - how can you not love a guy who crashes his car on the Jamaicaway while calling into WBUR - while denying allegations he was a groper?

Still, who knew that this time he's running for congress in my district, against Steve Lynch? Hey, anybody know what ever happened to Mildred Jefferson?

... Frankly, I'm surprised that he isn't getting more attention from the Lamont win. I mean, the Globe did an article on anti-war candidates running against incumbents across the country and didn't even mention the race in their own hometown. What's up with that? ...
