Between this series of events and his recent talking down of voter turn out (shouldn’t he be out there cheering on everyone to get them to the polls) I decided to vote for Bonifaz a few days ago. I voted for Galvin at the convention, but just can not support him right now.

I gotta say, I was planning on voting for Galvin, because I thought Bonifaz didn’t get the total package of Sec of State (it’s more than just elections). Now, though, I wonder. If the official in charge of elections shows this much contempt for the democratic process…

If the Bonifaz campaign isn’t getting any traction and his “issues” haven’t apparently struck a chord with the voters, it isn’t Galvin’s job and he would be foolish to lend credibility to the Bonifaz campaign by showing up to “defend” himself. This is Political Science 101 stuff. Ditto on the Lynch threads.
And David’s posting is an email to and from unnamed third parties. It is clear that the emails are not to/from the Galvin campaign when it is asked “Has Galvin’s office confirmed?” The plot is no thicker.

Lowellian, I never claimed that the emails are to/from the Galvin campaign - obviously, they are not. My point is that the Medford organizers - and I will represent that the emails are to and from one of the people involved in setting up the event - believed that Galvin was coming. That was confirmed in Sunday’s Globe article.
And come on - Galvin shouldn’t “defend himself”?? Of course he should. He should be accountable to the voters for whom he works. Like him or not, Bonifaz is a legit challenger who has collected both the necessary signatures and the necessary votes at the convention; in addition, of course, he has an impressive career as a voting rights advocate. Galvin should debate him.
And to the extent that PoliSci 101 says “ignore your opponent,” I don’t buy it. Just because it may work doesn’t make it right. No candidate should hunker down and try to fly below radar to stay in office.
