I will be happy when the Herald and Sun start thinking for themselves. These are the two papers that endorsed Bush both times. Its a joke that they would even bother to spin her awful campaign into something positive. The only positive point i see is that the Democrats will take over the corner office once again. The herlad can take their awful rag, with their howie carrs and Gerry Callahans spitting their hate onto whoever will listen. The fact is, I am happy that the herald supports Healey, its only fitting that two losers come together. Please get out and vote, polls dont mean anything. Romney was losing in the polls when he was elected. We want a big win, we want to give Deval a mandate to make massachusetts better.

Dan:
It appears that the Sun’s editorial page is building-up to the Healey endorsement. Today they had an anti-Patrick editorial (surprise!); the second one in as many weeks. If they keep this up they will not have anything new to say when they finally endorse her.

Correction for Dan: The Herald endorsed John Kerry in 2004.

Poor pitiful Muffy. She can’t even stand up to her advisers, who force her against her will to run a sewer of a campaign, but don’t worry, that just indicates what a strong leader she is. I’ll take cognative dissonance for $100, please, Alex.

The Sun exists because it is the only local paper, but why the Herald? Is it because it can be more easily read while on the subway? Note that it has about 1/3 the circulation that the Globe has, and while they are both suffering from reduced readership, the Herald is falling faster at 13% year-over-year.

I got a bead on tomorrow’s internet poll in the Sun. The question is: “Who would be a better surrogate parent to a family of stray kittens, Kerry Healey or Deval Patrick”. Vote now at www.Lowellsunfluff.com.

Too little, too late. Nothing short of Deval being arrested in the next 7 days will change the forgone result of this election.

Keep the other Kerry out of the picture - no “help” wanted!
November 1st, 2006 at 4:13 am
Well, Mike, as the saying goes, “caught with a dead girl or a live boy.”
November 1st, 2006 at 10:05 am
Ryan, thanks for the correction. In the politics section of the Lowell Sun (online addition) there is an unnamed pollster saying that Devals lead is single digits. I am not sure whether I believe this or not, but its another reason to get out and make calls, put up signs and talk to anyone who will listen about what Patrick brings to the table. I dont want a single digit victory. I want a landslide.
November 1st, 2006 at 1:08 pm
Personally, I want to see if Deval can break 60%.

What’s with the “Muffy” label for Healey?
November 1st, 2006 at 9:17 pm
What, you’ve never heard it before? It comes from one of your own, after all. A conservative’s name for a lightweight candidate. Though he resolved not to call her Muffy anymore during the campaign. But the name stuck like glue.
November 1st, 2006 at 9:54 pm
Ahh Howie Carr, I shoulda figured.

As a former Patrick supporter, I can say with confidence that Kerry Healey is going to win on Tuesday. Why? Because the voters are on to you. No kidding, I was once with a bunch of Patrick supporters who all shrugged and said they weren’t originally planning to vote for them. I then said, “What gives?” They were only there because they were forced to be there (by their employer)…Forced?
Yeah, you can figure it out. Like I said, we’re all on to you.

Rachel, you are such a transparent shill it’s not even much worth my time to poke fun at you.
