Kerry Healey
Associated Press reports the former lieutenant governor won't be running.
Josh Ourisman notices a Healey/Hillman Google ad in a forum discussion about Mitt Romney:
... I encourage everyone to follow the link. Maybe they'll get enough ad clicks that they'll actually notice it's still up ...
You wouldn't know the election was more than two months ago, based on the Google text ads that keep popping up on sites that mention Kerry Healey or Mitt Romney. Take, for example, the 2008 page on Patrick Ruffini's site, which had this at the top a few minutes ago:
Whiteboy gets the scoop:
... Patrick: "Hello?"
Mihos: "Is your refrigerator running?"
Patrick: "Yes, my refrigerator is running."
Mihos: "Well, I'M NOT anymore!" ...
Well, that didn't take long: TV stations declare Patrick victory at 8:01.
Blue Mass. Group at the Patrick party at the Hynes: The mood in the Hynes Convention Center can only be described in one word: jubilation.
Joe Dwinell covered the debate as it happens.
Whiteboy also covered it:
Cokie Roberts: Hello, and welcome. I'm Cokie Roberts. You might remember me as Sam Donaldson's dominatrix on This Week before that short, cute, Greek little man replaced us. Before we begin, I'd like to ask a question of the Democrat because that's all us media folks can talk about today. Should Kerry have apologized for his comments? ...
Kimberly Atkins posts the letter from the members of the Governor's Commission on Sexual and Domestic Violence, who want her to resign from the commission because of her rape ads.
Much ado about nothing, Hub Politics says.
The Missus explains why those rape ads convinced her to vote for Patrick.
Debate prediction: You think David Gergen was bad? Wait until you get a load of the Queen of Smug Insufferablness who for some reason was chosen to moderate the final debate. The candidates will have to punch out moderator Cokie Roberts if they want to get a word in edgewise.
The election hasn't even happened yet, but Blue Mass. Group draws a favorable comparison between Karl Rove and Patrick manager John Walsh. Also: questions remain in the LaGuer case - even with the DNA testing.
Sandouri Dean Bey finds Grace Ross alluring:
Her message resonates with the working class, who rightly feel that they/ve been given the shaft by the political establishment.
Why is Kerry Healey letting LaGuer's lawyer work for the state?
Debate transcript. Ed Prisby breaks out the Miller Lite sixpack to help him watch the debate. Prisby may have some competition in the transcription biz.
Even Michael Graham thinks it's time to stick a fork in Healey.
Hub Politics: Not so fast, Michael... It ain't over until it's over.
Mike Mennonno: What I will enjoy most about a Healey defeat in November is the thought of the small personal fortune she blew on her bitter campaign.
New Suffolk poll to show Patrick with 49-25 lead. Blue Mass. Group: No more talk about Patrick's vanishing lead.
Hub Politics: Patrick is still a coward for refusing to debate Healey one on one. Oh, and NOW is pro-rapist.
Mass. Marrier retorts:
I guess she's finally a real Republican. She wants to change the game when she's losing.
Those Inmates for Healey are real wimps. Doesn't take any prison smahts to stroll around Milton at 7 a.m. OK, tough guys, if you really want to impress us, drive up to Pride's Crossing tomorrow and kidnap Kerry Healey. Get really tough and muss her hair.
Outraged Liberal: Just when you thought the Healey campaign could not hit a new low, they come up with a way to surprise you.
Blue Mass. Group links to an FBI report showing that Massachusetts does have the highest violent-crime rate in the Northeast - even beating, gasp, New Jersey. Also, says Healey lied about the number of police on the street.
Who won the debate?
Outraged Liberal: Patrick.
Mass. GOP News: Healey (Mass. GOP News earns bonus points for watching post-debate analysis and concluding that Mike Barnicle must have suffered a head injury shortly before going on air).
Jon Keller: Healey and Patrick both win. Joe Dwinell agrees.
