Yeah but isn’t the Sun “fair and balanced” ?? After all in the same newspaper they endorsed Ted Kennedy for Senate. This way when we all complain when the Sun officially endorses KH they will point to today’s endorsement and claim the we wacky liberals are never satisfied!

Congrats to Lynne who jumped on the Deval bandwagon long ago, when he was clearly the underdog. Now the man is coasting to an easy victory. Good stuff, and congrats on all of your hard work Lynne. (And yes, I know you’ll work to the end and take nothing for granted!) May Deval reward you with a cushy state job!

Here is an interesting tidbit from [Dan Kennedy’s blog http://medianation.blogspot.com/2006/10/healeys-river-of-denial.html]. Either Kerrey Healey is an out-and-out liar or its a case of “I’ll have what she’s havin’” cuz it must be some good stuff!

Friday was a wonderful day in Lowell and surrounding towns. Deval came again and once more he wowed the crowds. The event at the Pailin City Restaurant was outstanding. The Cambodian community came in droves after only 2 days notice. I asked how that was accomplished, after all we have trouble getting our own friends out to fill a room. I was told that they have an email and phone system that can be used to rally the troops. How powerful this is for a community.

Healey’s river of denial
This is pretty incredible. Kerry Healey tells the Salem News that her gubernatorial candidacy sank like a rock because the public was repulsed not by the negative ads with which she assaulted Deval Patrick, but, rather, by negative ads taken out against her.
Here is the top of Ed Mason’s story:
Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey yesterday dismissed recent public opinion polls showing she trails Democrat Deval Patrick by at least 25 points because of the negative tone of her attack ads. Instead, in a meeting here with Salem News editors, she blamed an onslaught of negative ads launched by Patrick and others for her plummet in the polls.
“If you tallied up all the negative ads run against me and the governor since the primary,” Healey said, “I’ve run maybe three negative ads and they’ve run, I don’t know, 20.”
There is so much that I could say, but I’ll leave it at this: Even Scotto gets it. And denial is a river that runs through Prides Crossing.

I know you’re kidding around Mike but seriously, I got enough work already right now. Not that I’m complaining (much) except for the 15+hour days recently…
No, really, RE reward: my reward will be a better economy that I hope Deval can deliver, so that my business can florish. Affordable health care and health care reform that means if my husband changes jobs or eventually works with me independently, we can afford health insurance. Good colleges and universities so that any workforce I might someday hire is up to snuff. That list goes on.

RE negative ads about Kerry Healey, the truth hurts don’t it…
Either she can be tarred with the same brush as Romney as part of his administration or she can be listed as a do-nothing Lt Gov. Either way, she’s not fit to run this state.
Deval’s ads haven’t been that negative. They don’t go after her character or her personality. They go after her record (or lack thereof).
