Report from the Big Dog rally for Steve Lynch

Clinton pushes for Lynch, heads off to big wedding: Part of a set of photos by Dave Parsons.

Mike Ball was at the Ironworkers Hall in Southie today:

... You'd think the rally was for Clinton and Lynch was brought in to fluff the crowd for him. Lynch praised Clinton's presidency mightily and repeatedly, then Bill took over and did the same. He eventually got back around to saying how important it was to keep Lynch in office. ...

Also, state Rep. Marty Walsh of Dorchester attacked Lynch's primary opponent, Mac D'Alessandro, by making the remarkable claim that Republicans never run against each other. Apparently, Marty hasn't gotten south of the Neponset recently.

Lynch is worried about Mac

or they wouldn't have brought him up - You never elevate an inferior opponent by talking about them when they have no chance. MAC may give Lynch a run for his money, especially if Lynch has lost the unions.

Actually, Clinton was in town

Actually, Clinton was in town for a paid speaking gig at a financial conference at the convention center, this was just killing two birds with one stone since he was already here.

Lynch’s party rival is banking on voter anger

As US Representative Stephen F. Lynch basked in the glow of former president Bill Clinton’s endorsement last Thursday at a union hall in South Boston, the underdog who is trying to unseat him in the Sept. 14 Democratic primary did what he has done with regularity during the dog days of July.

During a swing through Needham, Mac D’Alessandro was introducing himself to as many voters as possible, as part of his campaign to visit 21 communities in the Ninth Congressional District in 21 days.

D’Alessandro, who describes himself as progressive on issues, professed to be unfazed by the Clinton-generated buzz and the hurrahs for the incumbent, who comes from the lunch-bucket wing of the party.

“It doesn’t come as a surprise when incumbents are shown the love of the Democratic establishment, the party establishment,’’ he said during a break in his meet-and-greet at a busy drop-in center for senior citizens. “I’m focused on hearing people’s concerns, deep concerns, for example, about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,’’ he said, pointing out that Lynch was the only member of the state’s all-Democratic House delegation last week to support President Obama’s request for $37 billion to fund the military effort in Afghanistan.

enough of Lynch

Lynch unconditionally supported the Iraq war, which cost the lives of over 4 thousands soldiers, he believes in legislating morality and opposes a woman's right to choose for herself what best to do with their bodies, he chose to oppose health care out of cowardice (his fear being out flanked by Scott Brown when he runs against him in '12), and chose to do nothing with a broken health care system. These are the reasons I won't vote for Lynch in the primary and why I won't vote for him in the general election.
