The Herald reports Republican Jack E. Robinson was outside Park Street last night, calling for the feds to pour enough money into the MBTA to eliminate fares and to spend $3 billion on a bullet train to Springfield.

The Herald reports Jack E. Robinson filed 10,900 signatures at the last minute to get onto the Republican ballot for the special Senate election. As long as 10,000 of those signatures - which the Herald says he spent $100,000 to collect - are valid, he'll face off against Swearin' Scott Brown in the primary.

Ever the optimists, Red Mass. Group explains why this will actually help Brown win the final election.

Speaking of Brown, the Herald reports the ex-Cosmo model is married to an ex-"murderous, bikini-clad vixen" from a Digney Fignus video, or, in other words, Channel 5 reporter Gail Huff.

Red Mass. Group reports Jack E. Robinson has taken out papers for a possible Senate run. Yes, car-crashing, grope-denying Jack E. Robinson.

Devone ponders:

It will be interesting to see how the Massachusetts press will spin a Jack Robinson victory if he defeats unpopular incumbent Stephen Lynch on November 7. ...

Ed. Ninth District Note: I don't particularly like Lynch - I have never voted for him - but, honestly, the chances of Robinson beating him next month are about equal to my odds of being elected Prince of Wales.

Blue Mass. Group, of all people, talks with Republican Jack E. Robinson, this year running for Congress against Steven Lynch in the Ninth District.

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? ...
