Harmony Wu decides not to run against Steve Lynch
By chrismatth - 4/7/10 - 4:15 pmHarmony Wu, who was considering a run for congress against Steve Lynch after his vote against health care reform last month, has decided not to run. I received the news through a Facebook message from the "Draft Harmony Wu" Facebook group.
So now it's between Steve Lynch and Phil Dunkelbarger in November, it seems.
Harmony's message below the fold.
Why Lynch will probably still win in November
By adamg - 3/22/10 - 3:32 pmConor Yunits runs the numbers, thinks Southie and disaffected union rank-and-file will still go heavily for Lynch, swamping the lefties of Jamaica Plain:
... If a Wu or Dunkelbarger candidacy is intended just to send Lynch some sort of message that liberals are pissed ... I'm guessing he already knows that. But if liberals actually think they could oust Lynch in the 9th over his health care vote?
Well, in my opinion they'd be better off spending their time fighting to keep the 10th.
Lynch could face second progressive opponent

Lynch is also opposed by Phil Dunkelbarger, running this time as an independent (ran against Lynch as a Democrat in 2006) and Republican Keith Lepor.
Thanks to Anonymous for pointing her out.
