Left In Lowell

Now that the primary race for the 5th Congressional District is over, the analysis of the voting has begun. I am not referring to the numbers as they pertain to the MA-05 race but as they pertain to the upcoming Lowell City Council race.

Yesterday, Dick Howe was on WCAP’s morning show and as expected the discussion touched upon the Lowell congressional vote and its relation to this year’s City Council election. I am hoping that Dick will recap his thoughts and the ensuing discussion and post it on his blog. Apparently, there is “word on the street” that there may be a sticker campaign to put Eileen’s name on the November City ballot.

And last week, the Sun’s The Column astutely speculated:

A good Donoghue turnout in Lowell could also give a boost to her like-minded City Council supporters in the upcoming municipal election.

On the other hand, a poor showing here could signal a different political twist.
