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:

Whiteboy gets the scoop:

... Patrick: "Hello?"

Mihos: "Is your refrigerator running?"

Patrick: "Yes, my refrigerator is running."

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

A real blue streak; Patrick makes history

Well, that didn't take long: TV stations declare Patrick victory at 8:01.

Blue Mass. Group at the Patrick party at the Hynes: The mood in the Hynes Convention Center can only be described in one word: jubilation.

Teddy: Keep Howie Carr away from the Tobin Bridge.

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.

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.

An alluring candidate

Sandouri Dean Bey finds Grace Ross alluring:

Her message resonates with the working class, who rightly feel that they/ve been given the shaft by the political establishment.

Why is Kerry Healey letting LaGuer's lawyer work for the state?

Hub Politics: There's just something about Deval Patrick and sex offenders. Also: a majority of likely Massachusetts voters are idiots.

Just in case, Mass. GOP News prepares for a Patrick win.

Kimberly Atkins notes the Patrick campaign is now telling people not to forget to vote on Nov. 7 - if too many people stay away thinking he'll win, well, he might not.

Jay Fitzgerald concludes:

... Sure, the coddles-criminals issue, as manufactured as it was, served as a surprisingly effective close-the-gap ploy. But the Healey camp somehow, it appears, convinced itself that it could be used as a central issue of the campaign. They lost perspective. They fell out of touch with voters. I mean, putting guys who look like skinhead neo-Nazis in prison garb and thinking it was clever? It's literally an insult to voters' intelligence. ...

Debate: Some people actually watched

Hub Politics on Healey's debate performances: While she is right on the issues, Kerry Healey is not coming off well in these debates.

Mass. Marrier explains why last evening's next-to-last televised debate was incessantly annoying, like rubbing a little Tabasco into an eye by mistake and compares the four candidates to various objects. More analysis from the Outraged Liberal.

Polls: Healey ads suck

adamg — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 03:47:55 +0000

Even Michael Graham thinks it's time to stick a fork in Healey.

Hub Politics: Not so fast, Michael... It ain't over until it's over.

Mike Mennonno: What I will enjoy most about a Healey defeat in November is the thought of the small personal fortune she blew on her bitter campaign.
