Jack E. Robinson is running for congress?

Man, he's one of my favorite perennial candidates - how can you not love a guy who crashes his car on the Jamaicaway while calling into WBUR - while denying allegations he was a groper?

Still, who knew that this time he's running for congress in my district, against Steve Lynch? Hey, anybody know what ever happened to Mildred Jefferson?

OK, OK, probably more important about this race is this question: Why hasn't the 9th-district race gotten more attention? No, not because of Robinson. But because it pits a pro-war, socially conservative Democratic incumbent against an anti-war, progressive Democratic challenger, Phil Dunkelbarger. On Blue Mass. Group, Janalfi wonders as well:

... Frankly, I'm surprised that he isn't getting more attention from the Lamont win. I mean, the Globe did an article on anti-war candidates running against incumbents across the country and didn't even mention the race in their own hometown. What's up with that? ...

Today's Globe story, which only ran in the City Weekly and Globe South sections.

Adam Reilly wonders if Dunkelbarger isn't missing an opportunity to do some viral videos.

Can I run, too?

In the old days, people would say, "America is great. Just about anyone can grow up and one day be an elected official."

These days, just about anyone has.

I'm gonna run for Dianne Wilkerson's seat. I mean, how could I lose?

Viral Videos? How about some good old-fashioned meet and greets? I haven't seen this guy at any of the standard politico events.

Um...

The guy in the previous thread crashed his car while on the radio, too.
