By adamg on Tue, 04/30/2013 - 9:36pm
AP called the 1st Suffolk race for Collins early on, but as of 10:08 p.m., city results showed Dorcena Forry leading by a slim margin - and the Dorcena Forry camp was declaring victory. The Collins camp, however, was conceding nothing.

When Collins concedes...
...Did he give up his state rep seat or was he required to forgo running for re-election by running for state senate? What comes next?
No, this was a bonus election
An out-of-sequence event caused by Jack Hart up and quitting. So he gets to stay a state rep, same as Steve Lynch would get to stay a congressman even if he pulls papers to run for mayor (hypothetically speaking, of course).
Maude Mango
managed to do to Southie in one election what the realtors and developers have been trying for years.
Maude has tried selling used underwear on Broadway, starts a blog about Southie for the Yuppies, and now tries a run for State Senate.
One things for sure, she'll have a seat at the St Paddy's Breakfast head table.
She won't be at...
the head table because she is going to plan it and run it for Linda. But, alas, it will be moving to the IBEW or Florian Hall in DORCHESTER!
Don't you mean Straw Mango?
Seven percent of the vote? AMAZING!!
