Democratic caucus reports
Blue Mass. Group has a forum for discussing today's Democratic caucuses. Note: At 6:53 p.m., BMG had a lot more results than boston.com, which still had only an AP report about campaigning by Reilly and Patrick with no actual results in it.
Deval Patrick sweeps Watertown, Reilly's hometown:
... In a big surprise to H2otown, Deval Patrick beat Watertown resident and sitting AG Tom Reilly handily, despite the fact that Reilly's slate of delegates read like a Who's Who of Watertown politics. ...
Out in central Mass., Paxton went unanimously for Joe Kennedy (yes, you read right).
The lieutenant governor's race
What? You weren't aware there was one? Of course, there is, and David takes a look at the three initial Democratic candidates. Sure, it seems like a useless office, but if recent history is any guide, whoever becomes lieutenant governor ultimately becomes governor, what with the Beacon Hill being such a jumping-off point for um, the ambassador's job in Ottawa. David adds the Blue Mass. Group interviewed one on the phone recently and hopes to post notes soon.
