Felix Arroyo

The rise of Felix Arroyo

Some interesting statistics from the Tuesday preliminary in a Globe article today: Felix Arroyo not only came in second overall in the race for an at-large council seat, he actually won 11 of the city's 22 wards. So forget the city council race for a moment and ponder a possible Mayor Arroyo one day.

Note: The print version of the story has a map showing who won which wards. Naturally, the map is not in the online version.

At-large city-council election tomorrow

Adam explains why he's voting for Felix Arroyo and Matt O'Malley in tomorrow's at-large preliminary election - and why he's still not sure what to do (if anything) with his other two votes.

Chris, meanwhile, has compiled a list of the positions taken by the at-large candidates on various issues (it's a PDF file) and points to the Dorchester News's profiles of the candidates.

Steve is keeping a tally of how many recordings of at-large candidates he can hang up on today.

I just got a recording from a supporter of Ed Flynn, who says "outside liberal activists" are pouring large amounts of money into the at-large race for abortion on demand. Huh?
