Kerry Healey

Kerry Healy looks set to run for Congress?

Red Mass. Group reports a couple of sources say the former lieutenant governor is getting ready to announce a run against Democrat John Tierney in the Sixth District. Karen Anderson at WBZ, however, tweets an aide to Healey says she's not running this year.

Kerry Healey is a no-go for Senate

Associated Press reports the former lieutenant governor won't be running.

Kerry Healey may be gone, but her Google ads live on

Josh Ourisman notices a Healey/Hillman Google ad in a forum discussion about Mitt Romney:

... I encourage everyone to follow the link. Maybe they'll get enough ad clicks that they'll actually notice it's still up ...

Hey, somebody tell the Healey campaign it's over and they need to turn out the lights

You wouldn't know the election was more than two months ago, based on the Google text ads that keep popping up on sites that mention Kerry Healey or Mitt Romney. Take, for example, the 2008 page on Patrick Ruffini's site, which had this at the top a few minutes ago:

Earth to Kerry: Come in, Kerry!

Concession calls

Whiteboy gets the scoop:

... Patrick: "Hello?"

Mihos: "Is your refrigerator running?"

Patrick: "Yes, my refrigerator is running."

Mihos: "Well, I'M NOT anymore!" ...

Debate liveblogging

Joe Dwinell covered the debate as it happens.

Whiteboy also covered it:

Cokie Roberts: Hello, and welcome. I'm Cokie Roberts. You might remember me as Sam Donaldson's dominatrix on This Week before that short, cute, Greek little man replaced us. Before we begin, I'd like to ask a question of the Democrat because that's all us media folks can talk about today. Should Kerry have apologized for his comments? ...

Kerry Healey scares them

Kimberly Atkins posts the letter from the members of the Governor's Commission on Sexual and Domestic Violence, who want her to resign from the commission because of her rape ads.

Much ado about nothing, Hub Politics says.

The Missus explains why those rape ads convinced her to vote for Patrick.

One week left

Debate prediction: You think David Gergen was bad? Wait until you get a load of the Queen of Smug Insufferablness who for some reason was chosen to moderate the final debate. The candidates will have to punch out moderator Cokie Roberts if they want to get a word in edgewise.

The election hasn't even happened yet, but Blue Mass. Group draws a favorable comparison between Karl Rove and Patrick manager John Walsh. Also: questions remain in the LaGuer case - even with the DNA testing.

Hub Politics is outraged that Milton Police sometimes post a patrol in front of Patrick's house and that Patrick went out of state for a fundraiser. Also: Patrick is Dukakis.
