Your spam is hella annoying, especially because we in Cambridge don't have anything to do with electing the mayor of Boston.
As a Walsjh supporter...
... I would kindly ask that you STOP doing this inappropriate spamming.

Is that what you use when on a tour of duty aboard the International Space Station?
PR made simple
1) Decide which candidates you find acceptable and write down their names. Leave off candidates you find unacceptable.
2) Rank your favored candidates giving a #1 to your most favorite, #2 to your next favored, etc. Save your list and take it to the polls.
3) Fill in the ovals in accordance with your rankings and submit your ballot.
4) Go home and enjoy a nice glass of wine.
5) Tune in after 9:00pm for live coverage of the election results with Susana Segat and Robert Winters (me).
6) After the results are announced, go out and celebrate or drown your sorrows depending on the outcome.
The DREAM Cambridge Election Guide
The following names would probably be well received and win in landslides in the City of Cambridge. Though some are now dead, they'd still probably win.
Jane Fonda, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Caesar Chavez, Osama Bin Laden, Mao Tse Tung, Joseph Stalin and Rachael Maddow. This would be the ultimate lineup, does not matter for what political office, in the People's Republic of Cambridge.
