Campaign roundup: An election tomorrow, Big Dig stuff and, finally, candidate fashion sense

Election tomorrow! Well, for city council in District 6 (West Roxbury, JP and pieces of Roslindale and Mission Hill), at any rate. Will turnout get into double digits?

The Globe says Patrick should stop blaming Baker for MBTA fare increases. But at least Patrick didn't sign documents saying the Big Dig would only cost $7.7 billion when he knew it would cost more than $11 billion. The Herald reports Patrick took donations from gambling lobbyists.

The Herald also shows the sort of gritty courage we expect from a scrappy tabloid: It dares to compare the fashion sense of the three men running for governor:

"He looks like he wakes up and takes a shower and gets dressed."

Herald: Down with booze tax! The "double taxation" (which most other states do) equals less than a penny a botttle. Bentley professor opposes repeal of the hooch levy.

Poll says Keating and Perry in dead heat.

Frequent candidate and abortion foe Mildred Jefferson has died.

Punditocracy: Adrian Walker says Jim McKenna gets in trouble every time he opens his mouth, but seems unable to grasp the idea that just because the feds went after Dianne Wilkerson doesn't mean Martha Coakley didn't go easy on her.

Meanwhile the Globe continues to polish the knobs of any incumbents which attend the same cocktail parties as their staff. Thank heavens for blogs and tabloids!
