Is it the “Exploratory Committee” that has raised this fund? I do not believe any of the candidates have formally filed the necessary papers nor have registered with the Federal Election Commission, yet. If they have, I cannot find it on the FEC’s web site.
As far as the timing of the election, I found it ironic that Galvin is concerned about voter turnout; i.e. apathy. Isn’t this the same man who would not debate his opponent last fall?

Niki has set up papers with the FEC it seems. We won’t know what she took in this month until the second week of April.

The “Breaking News” section of the Sun’s website is now reporting that an internal poll by the Tsongas campaign conducted this past weekend of 400 Democrats from Greater Lowell, Greater Lawrence, and the southern part of the Fifth District found - that Tsongas was ahead. I suppose if the poll had found otherwise, the campaign wouldn’t have released it to the press. But the poll results should also be encouraging to Eileen Donoghue who, along with Barry Finegold, finished second to Tsongas in most poll categories. One question that’s been asked about Donoghue is whether her municipal election popularity will carry beyond Lowell’s boundaries. If she’s already finishing second to someone whose husband once represented the region as a Congressman and a Senator and then ran for President, that’s not a bad place for Donoghue to be just a few days into the campaign.

He did debate his opponent last fall, albeit briefly. Regardless, he should not be completely written off as heartless and insincere just because of that.

Tsongas was the topic of discussion du jour in Washington this past weekend. I am not surprised by this poll. I’d like to hear more from all candidates before I make a detrmination.

Dick: I’d want to see the poll’s internals to trust it as a good sample, though. But of course, the buzz alone is good for them, true or not.

As far as I can tell the “buzz” is limited to Lowell in part because the local paper has decided to use the information provided in press releases as the base for news stories.
