Looks like Patrick is comfortably leading and that Murray is in the lead of Lieutenant Gov. I was hoping for either Silbert or Goldberg.
I messed up my VP preferences!

It looks like the race is hot in Concord, MA, which has not only more registered Dems than Winchester, but a higher percentage and Winchester has more Dems than Repubs.

Anyway, you see about 12 or so Deval Patrick signs of the 24" x 18" variety, punctuated by 8 foot Healey signs. Interesting.

HEaley campaign workers descended on the homes of Deval Patrick and his campaign manager, dressed in prison garb, chanting about lawyers who free rapists.

What do you think about Patrick holding out for 4-way debates?
I like it!

I don't like it all 'cause it makes the whole affair resemble a circus. I wish christi would go back to his shop, and leave the serious debaters alone.

I think Grace Ross' talents are going to be wasted and I like to hear what she has to say.

And Christy Mihos is excellent for comic relief.

All four are in the race. All four are on the ballot.
But two don't get to debate because "everyone knows" they won't be elected?

Awful idea, isn't it?

Someone somewhere else suggested that Deval Patrick set up a one on one debate with each of the other candidates-- i.e. he would debate Healey after he had debated Mihos and Ross.

This would at least be fair (after all, none of the three has any chance of winning).

Those of us with property etc taxes to pay, aren't laughing.
I'll vote for Kerry, 'cause the good Lord knows I'd never, ever vote for Patrick.

Well, wouldn't you rather have educated children and safe highways and a green environment and prosperous small businessmen? Americans just don't realize that you get what you pay for. Besides, I suspect that the real reason you wouldn't vote for Patrick is his race.

Why would you say such a thing? It's most unbecoming, if of course I should even care. The fact you even posted such a degrading comment suggests to me that you will vote for Patrick, because of his race and you want to live in a bankrupt State.

Spend...spend...spend and then what? May be the next Gov will be an illegal. Embarrassed

Well, if they've already elected a negro, that'd be the only thing left - right, Miller?

Hey, I guess you would rather have kids run around stupid or that you wouldn't object to the bridge you are driving over collapsing under you.

If you need shoes, does the store give them to you? If you attended college, did you go for free? Do farmers give you vegetables or do they throw them at you because of your attitude.

There is an old saw: you get what you pay for.

Take the Sunday paper and go the real estate section. Trace three house types: an 8 room colonial; a 7 room split or ranch, and a 6 room Cape. Go through all the towns, listing the price range for those three styles in each town. After you have the ranges, look at what each school system does. The more you pay for a house, the more highly esteemed are the schools in the community where the house is.

Besides, you are not voting for Patrick because of his race and probably because you are uneducated yourself. Hypocrite.

For my undergraduate education I had a 4 year scholarship and free tuition in a major private university.

For my 5 years of graduate education, culminating in both an MS and a PhD, I had a 5 year fellowship and free tuition in a major private university.

For law school, I paid my own way because I could afford to do so.
