Campaign fun

Mass. GOP News puts together a Deval Patrick word-search game that wittily ties Patrick to alleged perv David Scondras.

Adam Reilly at the Phoenix, meanwhile, says he'll spring for a $10 taco gift certificate for the best Kerry Healey ad parody. Reilly also offers up the conspiracist view of those Romney Healey-is-toast comments: That she must lose so that he can prove to primary voters that only he's a special enough Republican to win in Massachusetts.

Michael wonders how long before Healey tries to tie Patrick to Son of Sam and the Challenger explosion. Mike Mennonno predicts Healey will run a new ad calling Patrick a rapist who wants to subjugate all the suburban white women.

Her current ad says no woman would ever say anything good about a rapist. Blue Mass. Group points out that a number of women called for a re-examination of LaGuer's case (more here). Also? The whole free-rapist thing? Looocy Kerry, you have some 'splainin' to do. Then there's the whole honoring a Whitey Bulger thug thing.

Berto wonders if the Healey campaign is trying to game the boston.com most-emailed-story list.

John Daley doesn't get why the Gun Owners Action League wants more centralized government, i.e., Healey's proposal to strip local police departments of their power to regulate gun permits:

... The system of police chiefs' granting firearm licenses isn't perfect, but it does operate on the assumption of local knowledge of who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. That often means that people who want guns don't get them, hence the gun lobby objections.

But it also means scattered and disorganized tracking of gun licenses in the state, something the Second Amendment folks generally see as a good thing. ...

Hub Politics detects a groundswell of Democrats for Healey. Also, that Martha Coakley can't say what Patrick stands for, that Tim Murray is an inarticulate hack and that a Democratic 527 fund wants to elect Patrick.

Scott Allen Miller says a Gov. Patrick would let illegal aliens and blacks run rampant over legal immigrants and whites.

Mass. Revolution says the Herald got the 527 story wrong, but what do you expect?

The Outraged Liberal agrees with the Globe's Eileen McNamara that Healey is wasting her money going after the male talk-show callers she's already sewn up.

The Optimistic Patriot makes the case that Mihos voters should stop wasting their vote and elect Healey.

Devone predicts a backlash against the Patrick backlash over the brother-in-law story that will only help Healey - look at the cocaine allegations against George Bush in 2000.
