Left In Lowell

Like David, I found this Herald endorsement of Kerry Healey (besides predictable) really laughable. And pathetic! And…awfully short. They must have run out of of justifications real quick (bold mine):

Kerry Healey is a far better candidate and a far better person than the campaign she waged.

The Kerry Healey we have gotten to know during her years as lieutenant governor is smart, committed and passionate about the issues that are important to the people of Massachusetts - issues like education and lower taxes and keeping your word to the voters. But it is an unfortunate fact of political life that few people in this state got to know that woman and her able running mate, Reed Hillman, former head of the state police and a former legislator.

It is even more unfortunate that this campaign hardly ever focused on issues…
…
The Boston Herald is pleased to endorse the real Kerry Healey, a woman who is fully qualified to lead this state as governor.

As David says, yeah, right…Kerry Healey had nothing to do with the tone of her campaign, or how it was run, and who bought orange jumpsuits so a bunch of skinheads could go intimidate the family of Patrick’s campaign manager. Nothing Muffy coulda done about that, really. It doesn’t reflect her character when she doesn’t condemn the tactics of said “volunteers” or can’t stop talking about old cases of Deval’s while avoiding the true facts about those cases.

I can’t wait to see what twists and distortions of logic the Lowell Sun comes up with when they finally endorse Kerry Healey! Ought to be a blast chewing that to pieces.
